The Best Copy — The HERO 16mm transcends traditional scanning methods by prioritizing the complete capture of information for future applications, free from pre-emptive enhancement or interpretation. This philosophy ensures that each copy captures the essence of the original material, preserving its integrity for all subsequent uses.

Optics Beyond Compare — At the heart of our technology lies unparalleled craftsmanship. The optics, crafted by the specialists at Copenhagen Optical Company (COC), represent the pinnacle of precision engineering. With the same artisanship that equips satellite optics, these hand-crafted elements set a new standard for clarity and detail that no other scanner can replicate. This dedication to excellence ensures that every frame is preserved with uncompromising accuracy.

Simplicity meets sophistication — The HERO 16mm seamlessly integrates bespoke hardware and intuitive software, democratizing access to high-quality film reproduction. In just a few hours, users can master the delicate art of creating superior 16mm film copies, thanks to our straightforward, interpretation-free approach.

Faster, Faster, Fastest — Designed for efficiency, the HERO 16mm operates at speeds up to 4-5 times the nominal rate, circumventing lengthy preparation phases. This speed empowers institutions to digitize entire collections swiftly, eliminating the need for complex pre- selection processes. Even less prominent segments of collections hold newfound potential for research endeavors or as foundational data for AI model training.

Easy and Efficcient — Our innovative end-to-end solution empowers film and broadcast archives to leverage internal staff, significantly accelerating productivity while maintaining complete control over the entire process. By improving preservation and digitization efforts tenfold, the HERO 16mm not only enhances efficiency but also reduces overall costs significantly.
