Northligh 1 Film Scanner Description

The Northlight scanner is the benchmark for quality, adopted across the industry and in use at all premier studios across the globe.

Northlight is engineered to meet the exceptional demands of feature-length digital film mastering. Built around a non-static, optical bench of solid marble, it produces ultra-quiet, high-resolution, stable scans with superb colour fidelity and repeatability. All spatial information and dynamic range is captured in a single pass. Northlight integrates with other FilmLight or third party applications to produce definitive, DCI-compliant masters without dither or noise.

Northlight is also perfectly suited to back catalogue preservation. It can handle 16 and Super16mm, all 35mm formats, 3 perf, 4 perf, and VistaVision, and special purpose gates are also available for scanning shrunken archive stocks. Switching formats takes just a few seconds.

Northlight handles any output format, crop, or aspect ratio, and robust engineering ensures an exceptionally long service life.

While Northlight 1 provides resolution up to 6K, Northlight 2 matches-and surpasses-the requirements of the feature film industry as it embraces 4K workflow and digital cinema projection. Northlight 2 delivers up to six times the scanning speed of Northlight 1, with an internal resolution of 8K.

On-site upgrades allow all Northlight 1 users to enjoy the powerful features of Northlight 2.

FilmLight is guided by one overriding objective: to provide the best film-digitising system in the world. Acknowledged as an industry leader and installed in most premier studios around the globe, Northlight 1-and now Northlight 2-continues to fulfil that objective.
