FILM SCANNING

Film scanning and other transmissive digitization is especially demanding. Digitizing such collections requires a solution that delivers conservation handling, preservation image quality, production speed, and extensive flexibility. DT systems meet all these demands and are ideal for digitizing transmissive materials.
FLAT ART & LOOSE MATERIALS

Flat artwork requires careful handling to ensure the process of digitization does not degrade their condition. This is especially important for drawings made with delicate media, paintings already in degraded condition, and items of priceless value. Each of our systems provides a range of handling options to put the operator in control of the material, ensuring their safety.
BOUND MATERIALS

Bound materials require careful handling to ensure the process of digitization does not degrade their condition. This is especially important with tightly bound materials, delicate parchment, items with friable illuminations, and materials already in degraded condition. DT systems meet all of the demands and are ideal for digitizing bound materials

INDUSTRY-LEADING
IMAGING TECHNOLOGY
We can digitize anything — even deteriorating film and 3D objects like set mock-ups and musical instruments — at a level of detail you can’t get anywhere else. You have to see it to believe it. Check out our product videos to see the equipment in action.
DT Atom
The DT Atom is the world’s most versatile digitization platform. The DT Atom is a table-top digitization platform that can adapt to nearly any material type. All DT products are modular and the DT Atom is no exception, with most of its adaptability owed to its removable tabletop. We call the DT Atom the “building block of digitization.” Simply swap out the standard reflective top for one of our seven accessory tops, to handle books, loose material, film, glass plates, textiles, maps, and more. Nearly anything in an encyclopedic collection can be scanned on a DT Atom.
DT Versa
Meet the DT Versa, our solution designed for the digitization of all kinds of collections. The stand, camera, and column seamlessly integrate with our software for fast and easy preservation-grade digitization. The Versa allows digitization with or without glass contact. With the Versa hardtop in place, all scanning is done 100% contact-free. Removing that hardtop reveals a conservation-friendly glass top with a user-settable maximum and with such precise control of the object that the operator can raise the object to lightly kiss the glass.
DT Film Scanning Kit
Meet the DT Film Scanning Kit and say goodbye to legacy and drum scanners. 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.

Digitizing transmissive materials at the highest possible quality can be an intimidating task, so we built this resource to guide you through it.
Case Study – International Digitization in Estonia
The DT Heritage team was selected for an international digitization project by The National Archive of Estonia, in which we digitized a collection of approximately 100,000 pieces of film and glass plate transmissive materials.
