Built around a high‑resolution 1/3" CMOS sensor, it captures every frame with remarkable detail while preserving the original color palette and grain structure that make these formats so beloved.

- Display: 2.4‑inch LCD color screen (6.1 cm diagonal) for real‑time preview and exposure adjustment.

Design & Build Quality
The scanner’s chassis combines lightweight materials with robust construction. Its grey/black finish gives it a modern aesthetic while remaining unobtrusive when placed on a desk or in a darkened studio. The internal LED lamp is positioned to illuminate the film evenly, reducing shadows and hotspots that could otherwise degrade image quality.
Ergonomic Features
- Central Duplex Scanning: The scanner’s optical path is engineered for symmetrical light distribution, ensuring consistent exposure across the entire frame.
- Built‑in LCD Display: At 2.4 inch, the screen provides a clear view of each frame during scanning, allowing users to adjust settings on the fly.
- Compact Footprint: With a maximum scan size of 5.79 × 4.01 mm per frame, it accommodates standard Super 8 and Normal 8 reels without requiring additional adapters.
Digital Workflow Integration
The Reflecta scanner is designed to fit seamlessly into both simple and advanced post‑production pipelines:
- Direct SD Card Output: Users can insert an SD or SDHC card, start the scan, and retrieve a fully encoded MP4 file without needing a computer. This feature is ideal for on‑the‑go digitization at film festivals, archives, or home studios.
- USB 2.0 Transfer: For those who prefer working within a digital editing environment, the scanner can be connected to any PC via USB. The device streams raw image data that can be captured by software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or specialized film digitization tools.
- TV Output: A standard composite video output allows instant playback on any television, making it easy to review footage in real time without a computer.
Performance Highlights
When scanning Super 8 and Normal 8 reels, the Reflecta scanner delivers:
- High Fidelity Color Reproduction: The CMOS sensor captures subtle color variations, preserving the original look of vintage footage.
- Low Noise Levels: LED illumination combined with a high‑quality sensor keeps grain and noise to a minimum, resulting in cleaner images.
- Consistent Exposure: Automatic exposure adjustment ensures that each frame is evenly lit, reducing the need for post‑processing corrections.
Ideal Use Cases
