Blackmagic Design Cintel Scanner Film Gate HDR Skid Plate | 35mm

The Blackmagic Design Cintel Scanner HDR Film Gate series provides format-specific scanning gates engineered for direct use with the Cintel Scanner. Available in 16mm and 35mm versions, these gates allow post-production facilities, film archives, and telecine operators to configure their Cintel Scanner for the precise film format on hand, without retrofitting or improvising with incompatible hardware.

Each gate is purpose-built for the Cintel Scanner platform, ensuring accurate film registration and stable transport during high-dynamic-range scanning sessions. Whether a facility handles archival 16mm footage or works primarily with 35mm release prints, a dedicated gate for each format maintains the optical and mechanical precision that HDR scanning demands. This level of format specificity matters in professional scanning environments where consistent frame registration and film flatness directly affect the quality of the digitized output.

For post houses, colorists, and archivists investing in the Cintel Scanner as a long-term digitization platform, having the correct gate for each film format eliminates a common source of scanning error and simplifies format-switching between projects.
