The QuickSilver-FX 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 QuickSilver-FX incorporates a built-in 1CCD camera for true 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 QuickSilver-FX 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 QuickSilver-FX 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 QuickSilver-FX 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. A handy, jumbo LCD confidence monitor has adjustable contrast, color, sharpness, hue and is orientable.
The QuickSilver-FX 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. The unit has both auto and manual exposure and a handy remote control knob or panel preset lets you fine tune the exposure for maximum shadow and highlight detail in the film.
The
QuickSilver-FX scans frame-by-frame to your PC at about 15fps for true
progressive or interlaced output in both PAL or NTSC using the exclusive
Velocity software. Easy to use controls limit the need for specialized
labor. Easy-as-pie manual threading and the sprocketless drive protects
your customers' 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.
Quality
imaging and simplicity of use is 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 400 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 about 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.

NOTE: Velocity is
available exclusively to MovieStuff ScanStream Sniper customers only
and will not work
on previous Sniper or Sniper-Pro units.
