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.

The image is squeezed horizontally during recording and must be correctly de-squeezed for viewing.

Without the correct aspect ratio, faces, objects, and image details can appear distorted, making accurate inspection more difficult.

In this video, we show how anamorphic material can be displayed in its correct proportions directly during inspection with INSPECTIONscan - just by pressing one button.

Film heritage needs future :: Future needs film heritage

For 25 years, Cube-Tec has worked closely with audiovisual archives around the world. Together, we develop concepts and technologies that help preserve large archival collections for generations to come. Every day, we see just how vital the work of archives is in safeguarding our cultural heritage.

We collaborate with archives across the globe, but also with institutions close to home, such as the Landesfilmarchiv Bremen (SKB).

Film archives make history tangible. They allow us to experience the past in a unique and powerful way. This shared passion for preserving historical films is what connects us.

At the same time, many film archives are facing significant challenges. Technical systems are aging, valuable expertise is gradually being lost, and traditional workflows are reaching their limits. Preserving audiovisual collections for the long term requires continuous investment and sustainable support.

Dr. Daniel Tilgner of the Landesfilmarchiv Bremen (SKB) describes the value of historical films this way:

"Every film reel contains something truly special and unique: it preserves light captured from the past. It reveals countless details about the lives and world of people—and in our case, the people of Bremen—from times long gone."

Those who preserve films are not simply preserving images; they are safeguarding memories, identity, and history for future generations.

Greater visibility for film archives also means greater public awareness of the cultural value they protect every single day.

Help us shine a light on this important work!

Like and share this post so more people can discover why film archives are essential to our cultural future and gain a unique glimpse into the extraordinary changes that have shaped our world over the past 130 years.

It is crucial to keep the film and equipment clean during digitisation – yet over time, dirt and particles inevitably accumulate in the transport system. Even tiny specks in the light path can go unnoticed and distort your final result.

INSPECTIONscan solves this problem by automatically checking the light path – even before you load the next roll of film. If contamination is detected, the system alerts you immediately and pinpoints the exact location.

This makes cleaning quick, safe and efficient, so you can start every scan with confidence. Dirt may be unavoidable – but overlooking it doesn’t have to be.
