The ScanStream 9.5mm Sniper incorporates a built-in 1-CCD camera for direct, frame-by-frame 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 Sniper scans off the sharper, emulsion side of the film for maximum clarity. The built-in camera bypasses the condenser lens and mirror assembly for increased resolution and a smaller footprint, allowing the installation of the Sniper 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 Sniper comes with a super bright, ultra-cool LED light source that will protect the film from burning or warpage and has both manual and automatic exposure as standard features. It uses a high quality, uncompressed Y/C video output via easy to find "S" connector.
This
ScanStream unit performs TRUE frame-by-frame scanning at about 15fps. It
offers 100%, totally flicker-free playback at any speed desired, including
9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20 and 24/25fps and outputs both PAL and NTSC
via CineCap/Velocity software. Easy to use controls limit the need for
specialized labor and fast, automated computerized operation makes it ideal
for high volume shops where fast cycle times are required with minimum
labor. True, total frame discretion means the clearest, most crisp picture
possible next to a Rank transfer and why MovieStuff telecine units are
number one, worldwide.
Technical stuff:
This unit requires a Canopus
ADVC 55, 100 or 110 analog to digital converter for guaranteed performance.
The Sniper has
a maximum capacity of 800 feet (take up reel included) and comes pre-mounted
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. The Sniper
uses a high-torque DC motor and LED light source and can run off of 50/60
cycles from 100-256 VAC so no transformer is needed for international
users. You will need a minimum 512 megs of RAM, a firewire card and a P4
level Intel processor or the like. Your operating systems should be XP
Home or Pro or Vista. The included camera is rated just under 500 lines
and final video files are both NTSC and PAL, using the Velocity/CineCap
software. This software is PC only.
Software:
Written specifically
for use with the ScanStream Sniper series, CineCap/Velocity will work with
virtually any PC based firewire system to create standard DV codec AVIs
that can be imported into your existing edit program (even Mac!). CineCap
provides post-capture speed preview and will automatically batch process
the necessary speed changes for your footage. While CineCap/Velocity is
required for use with the Sniper series, it is not a product of MovieStuff.
All questions pertaining to CineCap/Velocity should be addressed here:
NOTE: Velocity is
available exclusively to MovieStuff ScanStream Sniper customers only
and will not work
on previous Sniper or Sniper-Pro units.
