The mi-Skan Dual 8 personal telecine will transfer both super 8 and regular 8mm film in one, easy to use unit. It is the ideal unit for the small business or individual looking to transfer large quantities of 8mm or Super 8 home movies on a budget. The mi-Skan has a hyper-precise electronic sync circuit that maintains hands-off, flicker-free transfers from beginning to end and incorporates a built-in 1CCD camera  for direct scanning off the enlarged gate for access to 100% of the film frame. Unlike other transfer units that crop the image and shoot off the softer, base side of the film, the mi-Scan images off the sharper, emulsion side of the film for maximum clarity. Rated at just under 500 lines, the built-in camera bypasses the condenser lens assembly for increased resolution and a smaller footprint, allowing the installation of the mi-Skan into the tightest of workspaces, without regard to lighting conditions. A diffused light source reduces the appearance of scratches, and fewer optical surfaces to keep clean means less maintenance and increased productivity. The mi-Skan comes with a super bright, ultra-cool LED light source that will protect the film from burning or warpage. White balance can be locked or left in auto to color correct as the film runs.

The mi-Skan has sprocketless drive, which is not only safer for the film but allows instant change over from 8mm to super 8 and back. Separate zoom, rotate, tilt and pan controls allows easy reframing of the image without tools, special skills or loss of time. Click HERE to see how it works! Oversized focus knob and convenient placement makes focusing a snap. Adjustable framer allows for vertical frame line compensation. A handy remote control knob lets you fine tune the exposure for maximum shadow and highlight detail in the film.

The mi-Skan is available in two running speeds: NTSC can be built for 15 or 20fps. PAL can be built for 16.66 or 20fps. Easy to use controls limit the need for specialized labor. Easy-as-pie manual threading and the sprocketless drive protects your films from the potential damage typically found on other sprocket driven projectors and auto-load transfer devices. Manual unload of the film in mid-reel is a breeze due to the removable side cover and sprocketless film path.
