MWA’s Flagship Performance Scanner
The new spinner S3 combines all the proven technologies of our spinner series but adds a feature that has already demonstrated its worth on our flashscan NOVA small gauge film scanner: The automatic Easy Wet Gate for all film formats up to 35mm. Our wet gate utilizes isopropyl alcohol within a closed system. The design was determined by the need to protect the sensor, lens, and light source from any liquid potentially dripping from the film. A hood and an exhaust system ensure a workspace that is as odor-free as possible.
Pioneering Scanner Technology Developed for Everyday Use
No Sprocket – No Capstan – No Limits: With the spinner S2 MWA Nova has successfully established another technology-advancing film scanner. This enables users to more safely digitize shrunken, warped or damaged analogue motion picture material found in today’s archives or rediscovered by private customers.
The MWA spinner S2 scanner achieves a minimum film tension of 20 grams (0.2 Newton). The newly developed, sprocketless and capstanless film transport has large rollers, only one tension arm and ball bearing supported gates, designed to make digitizing difficult film easier and less expensive.
Multi Format Viewing Table
Spinner V is the only multi-format viewer (from 8 to 35mm) available on the market. Equipped with a 4K sensor, an adjustable tension from 20 to 600 grams, in 2 or 4 platters version with all available magnetic and optical audio modules. It allows you to view but also capture in 4K, 8bits H264 compressed.
Well established in the market, since we launched this „small Scanner“ at ibc 2018.
Based on the same reliable powerfull high-end technology of the successful Spinner, we have supplemented our scanner range with the cost-effective flashscan Nova.
The flashscan Nova is available with the new MWA “Easy Wet Gate” for 8mm / S8 – 9.5mm -16mm / S16.
All models are equipped with 2.5k / 5MP or 4k / 12MP Sony CMOS color or monochrome sensors.
The flashscan Nova provides a sprocket and capstanless, continuous motion transport down to 0.2 Newton, at any film geometry definable with unlimited shrinkage.
Standalone sound reproducer developed for everyday use 24bit / 48kHz & 24bit / 96 kHz
Dedicated sound heads for optical and magnetic sound. Ultralow sound jitter through velocity-adaptive sampling. Biphase (master or slave) sync to other scanners/telecines.
Verification Table
Spinner R is a multi-format winder and verification table from 8 to 35mm (capacity 600 meters). Equipped with a ground glass, a multi-function touch screen and a drive system without pinion or capstan, it can transport films with a minimum tension of 10 grams and a variable speed up to 300 frames/second.
The spinner B is based on the proven viewing and inspection table spinner V and can be configured for the various applications in broadcast archives. Equipped with a 4k sensor, the spinner B can digitize mostly 16mm film into all common broadcast formats.
The spinner B features digital and analogue audio inputs and outputs and can be synchronized with any BiPhase-controllable sound follower, such as the spinner T.
