TVT S8K & R8K High image sharpness with a camera module equal in resolution to DVD and Mini-DV: 768 x 494 NTSC, 480 line resolution, 48 dB s/n ratio. Automatic exposure control is peak-sensing with double time constant rapid correction, or center-weighted averaging. Running speed of 17.126 frames per second (FPS) is as close as possible to matching the original amateur 16 and 18 FPS filming rates, so no customer complaints about unnatural excessive speedup of screen action to 20 or 24. No shutter bar or flicker at any of the three running speeds. Focus, size, alignment, speed and exposure are all preset or automatic. Speeds are crystal controlled with no anti-flicker tweaking by the operator required. Highest image integrity: direct imaging from film to sensor using special 1:1 macro lens system. No telecine / film chain mirror, aerial image field lens, close-up lens, grainy ground glass or screen to degrade the image. Film pull-down is synchronized to the video. Newly invented broad-spectrum solid state light source. Gives cool low-power light with no ultraviolet radiation to fade the film, no infrared to cause loss of color saturation in the camera. Footage counter for accurate argument-free no-guesswork billing. Adds in forward, subtracts in reverse. Three-motor design. Reel motors eliminate troublesome clutches and slipping belts. 400 foot reel capacity. Feed and holdback sprockets for a steadier screen image than with sprocketless machines. Ratcheting sprockets for resetting film loops. Reliable professional/broadcast BNC video output connector (with RCA adapter), also S-Video 4-pin output. Exposure can be controlled fully manually and the speed can be set to half normal for over-short scenes from weak camera batteries, or to 1.5X normal for film that was exposed at 24 or 25 FPS |
