INSPECTION𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧 was designed from the ground up to ensure that even extremely poorly spliced and brittle films are handled as gently as possible.

This video demonstrates how operators can handle any type of film with confidence using INSPECTION𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧's built-in safety features.

What does scanning film from 1896 look like?

This picture shows Edison’s A Morning Bath being scanned with INSPECTION𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧 at the Library of Congress’s National Audio-Visual Conservation Center.

NAVCC archivists and Cube-Tec trainers scanned the original footage at the end of training for the center’s first INSPECTION𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧 system.

A glimpse into early cinema and the work that makes it accessible today!

The Library of Congress has begun operating its first INSPECTION𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧 system!

In September 2026, the Cube-Tec team delivered training at the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center in Culpeper, Virginia. About twenty archivists from various departments took part in a combination of in-person instruction and remote sessions.

To conclude the training, NAVCC archivists and the trainers scanned original footage from 1896: Edison’s A Morning Bath.

Fast access to film collections. Gentle handling of irreplaceable material.

Scanning Backwards with INSPECTION𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧

Film reels stored 'tail out' have the end of the film strip on the outside of the reel. This usually means rewinding before inspection can begin, adding an extra step of waiting.

In this clip, we show how INSPECTION𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧 handles tail out reels without rewinding them first.

Less preparation, less handling, and more time for inspection.

INSPECTIONscan enables gentle inspection and condition assessment of archival film before critical preservation decisions are made.

113 years ago, Oskar Blumenthal: We will be leaving a moving image archive for future generations

"...the past could not bequeath us such documents. But we shall hand down to the future film archives that are living historiography. And posterity will receive our terrors and our uprisings, our fears and our proud joys, handed down in moving pictures, in a way no history painter could ever have created. So true to life, so pulsing with the heartbeat of the hour." Oskar Blumenthal, quoted in "Was die Mitwelt dem Kino verdankt." Der Kinematograph, no. 314 (January 1, 1913), Düsseldorf, Germany

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬?

At IBC 2026, one answer was surprisingly simple: seeing real technology in action!

Once again, this year the INSPECTION𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧 film table at the Cube-Tec stand in Hall 7 quickly became a real eye-catcher: visitors were able to watch live as analogue cinema film was scanned and inspected, whilst the content appeared simultaneously on the scanner’s display. This dynamic demonstration repeatedly prompted passers-by to stop, take a closer look and strike up a conversation with our team.

Over the four days of the IBC Show, a single INSPECTION𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧 digitised a total of around 40,000 metres of film in front of the audience. This involved capturing more than 2 million individual frames from the 35mm film reels brought along.

It was good to meet customers and friends from all over the world again in Amsterdam. The IBC show is always a great opportunity to meet partners and visitors from across the media and broadcasting industry.

Many thanks to everyone who visited our IBC stand and took the time to exchange ideas with us. We look forward to continuing these discussions and seeing you again soon!

Navigate through the stripe image timeline as it builds up. Check just digitised frames, edit metadata, capture screenshots and jump directly to marked events without interrupting the film scanning process.

Switch seamlessly between inspection and the playback view whenever needed. Instead of waiting until the entire reel has been digitised, you can begin reviewing immediately and identify potential issues from the very start.

Scanning and reviewing at the same time. With INSPECTIONscan, you achieve better results faster.
