For decades, DFT has been at the forefront of developing and manufacturing premium film scanning solutions. Our scanners are internationally recognized, award-winning technologies that have earned prestigious honors from both the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Academy Award®) and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (Emmy® Award). Today, DFT's film scanning portfolio is led by Scanity 2 and Polar HQ.
As the successor to the award-winning Scanity platform, Scanity 2 builds on a proven foundation while delivering unmatched speed, image quality and workflow efficiency. Its future-ready architecture, advanced sensor technology and highly precise optical film transport make it the ideal solution for modern production environments. Polar HQ is purpose-built for archival film preservation and large-scale digitization projects. Combining pristine image quality with exceptionally gentle film handling, it enables archives to safely digitize fragile, damaged and historically valuable film materials that are often beyond the capabilities of conventional scanning systems.
Film is more than a medium. It is a record of our cultural heritage, creativity and collective memory. At DFT, we believe that preserving these invaluable assets for future generations requires not only dedication, but also the most advanced digitization technology available. By combining exceptional image quality, precision, speed and reliability, our solutions empower film archives, post-production facilities, studios and broadcasters to digitize, restore and preserve film at the highest possible standard. From safeguarding fragile archival materials to supporting demanding requirements of modern restoration, DFT supports both the long-term preservation of cinematic heritage and the demanding requirements of modern restoration.
Headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, DFT brings together a highly dedicated team of engineers, film experts and industry professionals. With an additional office in Burbank, Los Angeles, and our international sales and support network, we provide customers across the globe with expert service and local assistance whenever possible.
