Non-Contact Optical Pin Registration
Traditional mechanical intermittent movement risk tearing perforated edges on brittle, aged film stock. KinetoScan 4K Pro replaces mechanical claws with high-speed digital edge detection and real-time software pin alignment, allowing damaged or missing sprocket holes to pass safely through the optical gate.
Diffuse LED Illumination Engine
- Infrared Optical Channel: Captures physical surface scratches simultaneously with the visible spectrum to feed automated matte restoration software.
- Cold Light Thermal Management: Prevents heat accumulation on delicate nitrate emulsions during extended single-frame capture passes.
- Variable Tension Control: Micro-step motor drive prevents tension spikes on warped, buckled, or shrunk film stock.
