Film Digitization Services: Preserve Your Film Archive for Future Generations

At MEMNON, we specialize in high-quality film digitization services, offering expert transfers for various film formats, from 8mm to 35mm. Whether you need SD, HD, 1K, 2K, or 4K resolutions—or even higher for over-scans—we provide comprehensive solutions for both image and sound. Utilizing advanced scanning technology and a robust IT infrastructure, we ensure that archival films are preserved with the highest quality, delivering formats such as ProRes, DNx, DPX, and JPEG2000.

Why Digitize Your Film Archive?

Preservation & Longevity

Film is susceptible to deterioration over time due to environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and chemical breakdown. Digitizing your films protects their content, ensuring they remain intact for future generations.

Accessibility & Convenience

Once digitized, your films can be easily viewed on modern devices, including computers, TVs, and smartphones. Digital files can also be stored on various platforms, allowing for effortless access and sharing.

Restoration & Enhancement

Through digitization, we can enhance your films with color correction, stabilization, noise reduction, and other improvements, significantly enhancing visual clarity and overall quality.

Space & Cost Efficiency

Digital storage is far more compact and cost-effective than maintaining physical film reels, which require controlled conditions to prevent degradation.

Monetization & Reuse

Digitized films can be repurposed for new projects, documentaries, stock footage, or licensing opportunities. They can also be distributed across streaming platforms such as YouTube and Netflix, opening up new revenue streams.

Future-Proofing Your Content

As film projectors become obsolete, digitization ensures your archive remains compatible with evolving technology, securing your content for years to come.

Special Considerations
for Fragile Films

For films affected by vinegar syndrome, warping, or other forms of degradation, we implement specialized techniques, such as warp gates, to ensure optimal digitization while minimizing risk. Additionally, we accommodate varying film gauges, sound formats, and image orientations through multi-step scanning processes.

Our Film Digitization Process

Inspection & Preparation – Each film undergoes a detailed assessment to check for damage. We then clean the film and repair any deteriorated sections using archival methods to minimize risk during scanning.

High-Resolution Scanning – We utilize industry-leading LaserGraphics ScanStation units capable of scanning up to 6.5K resolution, capturing even the finest details. Audio is digitized at up to 24-bit, 96 kHz quality, preserving the full depth and richness of sound.

Image & Sound Synchronization – For films with separate soundtracks, we synchronize audio and visuals during post-production, ensuring seamless playback.

Customization & Deliverables – We offer multiple output options, including preservation overscans and customized color corrections. Our deliverables include detailed metadata outlining film characteristics, damage conditions, and capture quality. We tailor file packages to meet both preservation and accessibility needs.
