The ARRISCAN now has another exciting feature, a client oriented solution for infrared based dust and scratch removal while scanning film material for digital intermediate or HD applications. Besides the RGB illumination unit, the ARRISCAN uses an additional infrared illumination to detect film defects. Based on the infrared channel of the ARRISCAN, Kodak Digital ICE Technology, developed by Eastman Kodak Company, substantially reduces dust, scratches and blemishes from a scanned image improving downstream overall workflow productivity both in terms of labour and time.
Because film dyes are nearly transparent for infrared light, it is possible to produce a complete defect image of scratches, dust and other image artefacts by infrared illumination. This defect image is used as a basis for sophisticated image correction algorithms as implemented in Kodak Digital ICE Technology. All defects are marked in a defect matte for further processing. This image can be embedded as a fourth channel in the scanned image film (DPX format) or stored as a separate file.
Kodak Digital ICE Technology is running as an embedded software application in the ARRISCAN, optimized for the image processing chain of the ARRISCAN.Together with the ARRISCAN Speed Pack 1 option (4fps in 2k resolution) the ARRISCAN is the fastest film scanner in the industry, delivering pristine image quality and reliability plus a workflow solution to efficiently handle scratches & dust.

New ARRISCAN Features
The ARRISCAN provides huge advantages over competing film scanning solutions. It has a pin registered system with superior image quality in 2k, 3k and 4k, winding speed up to 2m/sec, variable magnification factors, auto-focus, LED illumination for absolutely consistent colour reproduction and high dynamic range using multiple flash illumination, a CMOS area sensor for perfect image geometry.
Now with the release of Speed Pack 2, the ARRISCAN is able to scan in 2k resolution at an unsurpassed speed of more than 8fps in Digital Dailies Mode. In Digital Dailies Mode, the negative is scanned with a single exposure instead of double exposure.
Also new to the ARRISCAN feature list is the keycode based workflow. This enables the user to scan camera negative based on pull or cut lists without knowing the frame position. Searching of the keycode is done at 2m/sec (6ft/sec).
Also available now are drivers for direct SAN integration for CVFS and CXFS to give highest transfer speed to the centralised storage.
The machine can be used in the data centric workflow for state-of-the-art high resolution scans in 16mm and 35mm and for upcoming digital dailies. The ARRISCAN once again raises the bar in scanning technology and brings unparalleled enhancements to the digital intermediate workflow.

Over 190 ARRILASER Film Recorders Worldwide
Established as the industry standard in film recording since its introduction seven years ago, the ARRILASER maintains strong sales in new and existing markets.
Technicolor Content Services have ordered five new ARRILASER systems with three going to Technicolor Digital Intermediates in Burbank, California and two film recorders to Technicolor Content Services Hollywood. The total number of ARRILASERS deployed at Technicolor facilities worldwide is now 24, making Technicolor the world’s largest ARRILASER user.
Capital FX London expanded their ARRILASER fleet to four units and is now the biggest recording bureau in Europe. They also own an ARRISCAN and the customised ARRI Colour Management solution, relying on ARRI technology from the beginning to end of the DI process.
With the increase of Capital FX facilities in the UK, this now means there are a total of 22 ARRILASERS within the UK alone.
The ARRILASER is the only cine film recorder to use three solid state lasers as a light source, setting the standard in productivity and reliability, while significantly reducing the cost of recording digital images onto film.
