The
CineMate-PAL is designed for super high quality transfers of both
regular 8mm and super 8mm film to PAL video at a real time speed of 16.66fps,
all in one easy to use unit. This is an ideal compromise speed for both
16fps regular 8mm and 18fps super 8mm home movies; not too fast nor too
slow. 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-PAL lets you use a high quality 3CCD 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:
This unit has a
switching power supply and can run directly off of 115-240 VAC at 50 or
60 cycles. No transformer is required.
The CineMate-PAL
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 16.66fps only. 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 1/50th of a second 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).
