New Scanner in the Film Collection
We are very pleased about the many possibilities offered by the new MACHINA scanner in our archive.
The MACHINA scanner is produced by the company Korn Manufaktur in Berlin. MACHINA can scan film formats from 8mm to 35mm in real time with a resolution of up to 4K. Thanks to its extremely gentle handling of film material even at a high scanning speed the scanner is particularly suitable for processing fragile archival holdings. The main reason for the acquisition of a combined 8mm to 35mm scanner is to make historical film material from the collection of the Austrian Film Museum or third-party material commissioned by film artists accessible and available for research, artistic work and public distribution in various media.
The acquisition was made with the financial participation of the Vienna University of Technology, the Ludwig Boltzman Institute for Digital History and the Academy of Fine Arts.
