Re: Openfilmscanner.org
I may have done this to support my earlier project called Scanbox Open Scanner. There is a video of it floating around somewhere. If anybody cares, I can try to find it.

Re: Converting an FDL-60 telecine to a Scanner
Hey, I have had a new idea about this.
I have partially built it for a Spirit. I will work on any FDL.
The area between the PTR on the left, and the Tacho and it's adjacent roller can be used for a complete image system. I will get a picture of what I have done so far. Not nearly complete or ...

Re: New Kodak Film Cleaner
Actually this machine looks and functions in a similar way the the lipsnersmith rti excell1100. A machine coild be made to use any fluid you choose but will be more or less effective based on the details of speed fluid use etc.

Re: New Kodak Film Cleaner
Fuel injectors would work..you need a hi pressure pump..a regulator and a pulse generator to complete a system.
Last time we priced the hfe chemical this uses it cost around 1400 usd for a 4 gallon bucket.

Re: what do pro telecine/scanners use for a backlight?
The diffuser I use is opal glass. You can research and see what is available at Edmund Scientific.

Re: what do pro telecine/scanners use for a backlight?
By the way one other advantage of more light is that you can stop down the lens to get more depth of field. This is valuable when scanning film with cupping or warpage within the frame.

Re: what do pro telecine/scanners use for a backlight?
Franks system is a brilliant piece of engineering and the new Mullers are better for having it. I was refering to Mullers own website description of his personal earlier version. Andreas posted a link a while ago.

Re: what do pro telecine/scanners use for a backlight?
More light equals less exposure time for one thing. And the big machines have the light some distance away so the distance creates losses. They also process the light based on the machine's settings. There are filter wheels in the light path that can cost some light. And there are also several ...

Re: what do pro telecine/scanners use for a backlight?
Spirits use a xenon lamp. To 2004 it was 300 watts and later 700 watts. Scanity has an led. Muller's later design had a 100 watt 10000 kelvin led.

Converting an FDL-60 telecine to a Scanner
Andreas has an FDL-60, and I used to have some of them, so I thought I would share some ideas about a conversion. The film transport in the FDL is quite good, so if possible, we would like to use it as-is. The camera system is easily removed from the chassis, so that is the first step. We will need ...

Re: Teaser, spoiler and some ideas around this project
The scanner I am working on is a work in progress, and is not ready to be deployed except on an experimental basis. Having said that, it does work and can produce some very nice results.
It is built with the following subsystems
-Camera
-Optical
-Lighting
-Trigger
-Motion Control
-Control Panel ...

Re: Seguin Cine Museum Expands
Thanks for posting that David. That looks just like the one we used to have...oh, wait. That is the one we used to have. It was with a transfer house in Santa Ana Ca that we bought out back in 1999 I think. Before that I don't know. And we used it for quite a while, until we bought our first FDL-60 ...

Re: The new Muller HDS scanner, what do you think about that
excuse me if I remain more than a little skeptical of the benefit of a 5K scan of Super8
It was Justin from Canada-Toronto, I think? who posted a link to a super8 transfer he had done on the LG5K. I expect it was a well shot piece of film, and I thought it looked pretty good, resolution-wise. I ...

Re: The new Muller HDS scanner, what do you think about that
Frank and Roger, you guys are right of course. It will be a difficult task to do any support for an open source machine. That's one reason I haven't really started yet. I am really still building the machine, and trying to figure out all the tech involved. It has been a lot to learn, as I am sure ...
