With the new spinner S2, MWA Nova has successfully established another technology-advancing film scanner, to accompany the flashscan HD, Choice and Vario models. This enables users to more safely digitize the shrunken, warped or damaged older analogue motion picture material found in today’s archives or presented by private customers. Highly flammable nitrate, warped and shrunken film benefits from Spinner S’s simpler film path. The new MWA spinner S2 scanner achieves a gentle, minimum film tension of 20 grams /0.2 Newton. The newly developed, sprocketless and capstantless film transport, has a few large rollers, only one tension arm and normal-use gates designed to makes digitizing difficult film easier and less expensive.

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.
