Given the increased demand for files from our international clients, we decided to devote some R&D time into finding tapeless solutions for folks working in the PAL environment. Since our high definition telecine was designed to transfer both NTSC and PAL, we already had the transfer path under control. In fact, our Cineglyph (now called the NOVA 2K Telecine FIlm Scanner) offers a number of PAL HD and SD transfer options. So the next step was to define which formats could be available for MAC and PC. These are listed below. If you do not see your specific format, please feel free to email us at tech@bonolabs.com with your questions and request. We can usually provide a new format with a minimal amount of R&D.

For more information on our direct-to-file program, including options for file transport, visit the tapeless page.
