The ARRISCAN has long been a benchmark in archival film scanning. Its integrated wet gate system is a masterpiece of precision mechanical and optical engineering.
Integrated Fluid Layering
Unlike bulky add-on gates, ARRI's design integrates the fluid supply directly into the transport path. The film is sandwiched between optical glass plates and flooded with fluid, ensuring that even deep base scratches disappear entirely from the 4K or 6K sensor's view.
Gentle Transport for Shrunk Film
The ARRISCAN wet gate is built to accommodate fragile, shrunk archival film. The fluid itself acts as a lubricant, reducing friction and stress on damaged sprocket holes during the scanning cycle.
