Sensitive base material (Nitrate)
Despite the very fast scanning speeds, Scanity handles aged film extremely safely. If film is unwind from its spool or core a static charge may build up. This charge is neutralized with conductive rollers in the film deck. To minimize or avoid this charge build up prior to the first roller, the only way is to reduce the winding speed. Scanity allows the user to limit the speed to a certain setting to ensure that the film material is handled as gently as is appropriate for that stock.
