THE DT FILM SCANNING KIT
At over 400 times faster than legacy scanning equipment, the DT Film Scanning Kit (FSK) delivers high-speed, FADGI-4 Star compliant scanning of film at incredible resolution.
Helping reduce both your scanning and post-production time.
System Overview
Capture Any Material
Our main carriers are made of Steel and provide an economical solution, especially for film formats that an institution does not have significant quantities of in their collections. The DT FSK uses a magnetic mask to hold the film in place. The magnetic masks are user-replaceable, and replacements are available as a purchasable service item.
Carriers Available:
- 35mm Strip Film Carrier
- 120mm Strip Film Carrier
- 4×5 Sheet Film Carrier
- 9x12cm Sheet Film Carrier
- 8×10 ANR Film Carrier

We make all of our copystands & cameras here in the USA out of the strongest and lightest aircraft-grade aluminum.
Designed for Rapid Capture
The DT Film Scanning Kit (FSK) is designed for rapid capture, offering a workflow for loading, capturing, and post-processing that is over 400 times faster than legacy scanning equipment. It achieves scan resolutions up to 7000ppi with FADGI 4-star compliance, with capture speeds of less than one second for any film size.

Specialized Optics for Film Scanning
Achieving preservation-grade results in film digitization is extremely demanding and requires specialized optics. After extensive testing, we identified two lenses that delivered consistent, FADGI 4-Star-compliant results, and we integrated them into the heritage-dedicated iX Camera platform.
The Schneider 120mm Apo-Digitar ASPH lens delivers extraordinary resolution at high magnifications while maintaining excellent focal-plane flatness, making it ideal for smaller film formats such as 35mm and 120.
For larger material, the revolutionary Phase One 72mm Mk II lens provides unmatched image quality with a wider field of view, making it the optic of choice for sheet film, glass plates, and even reflective ephemera associated with film collections such as prints and contact sheets.
Conservation Handling
The FSK supports contact-free scanning, with the image area entirely untouched. It puts the operator in control, rather than relying on an automatic machine feed mechanism, so that materials can be handled safely at all times.
