The
CineMate series is designed for super high quality transfers of both
regular 8mm and super 8mm film to video via one, easy to use unit. The
CineMate is available in two NTSC models of 15fps and 20fps. It also is
available in PAL models of 16.66fps and 20fps. 
And unlike typical projectors or other 1CCD telecine units that crop the
image and shoot off the softer, base side of the film, the CineMate-20
lets you use a high quality 3CCD camera or even an HD camera to image off
the sharper, emulsion side of the film via a precision, jumbo 5 inch condenser
lens. The enlarged gate allows access to 100% of
the film frame and your resolution is limited only by the quality of the
camera that you use. The original lamp has been replaced with a no heat,
super-bright LED light source that should last darned near forever (but
spares are available). The sprocketless drive protects your customers'
films from the potential damage typically found on other sprocket driven
projectors and transfer devices. The entire unit is completely refurbished
prior to modification with all metal film surfaces polished, belts replaced
and all mechanicals cleaned and lubed.
This
is a serious transfer unit for both the commercial telecine business or
the home 8mm enthusiast. The end result is a flicker free image that is
sharp corner to corner with no hot spot. Offering a clarity once reserved
for only the finest professional transfer houses, MovieStuff units are
the number one choice, worldwide, for small business
and personal applications.
Technical stuff:
The CineMate has
a maximum capacity of 400 feet (take up reel included) and comes pre-aligned
with the condenser lens on a convenient base. Sound film can be run through
this unit but it will not reproduce the audio track as it is a silent projector.
This unit can run both super 8 and regular 8mm film at a single speed.
The CineMate has a convenient speed control knob to eliminate flicker and
may need to be occasionally re-adjusted during transfer for best results.
A video camera with the ability to lock to 1/60th of a second for NTSC
or 1/50th of a second for PAL is required and image stabilization must
be turned off. Room lights do not have to be turned off but care should
be taken to avoid reflections in the condenser lens. This unit works best
with a camera possessing a minimum 14x optical zoom (12x can be used but
may require a +1 close up filter).
