The
CineMate-16 HD is designed for super high quality transfers of 16mm sound
or silent film to video via one, easy to use unit. The CineMate-16 HD is
available with sound in NTSC (24fps) or PAL (25fps). It can also be ordered
as a silent unit with the sound head removed. The CineMate-16 silent is
available in NTSC (15fps) or PAL (16.66fps). 
Unlike the basic CineMate, which requires occasional adjustments of the
motor speed to eliminate flicker, the CineMate-16 HD has a hyper-precise
electronic sync circuit that maintains hands-off, flicker-free transfers
from beginning to end. A handy remote lets you adjust the exposure on the
fly or there is a panel mounted exposure control for minor adjustments
or presets. And unlike typical projectors or other 1CCD telecine units
that crop the image and shoot off the softer, base side of the film, the
CineMate-16 HD lets you use a high quality 3CCD camera or even an HD camera
to image off the sharper, emulsion side of the film via a precision, jumbo
5 inch condenser lens. The enlarged gate
allows access to 100% of the film frame and your resolution is limited
only by the quality of the camera that you use. The original lamp has been
replaced with a no heat, super-bright LED light source that should last
darned near forever (but spares are available). Due to the larger mass
of 16mm reels, this unit has sprockets but also incorporates a lighting
quick shut-off in case of lost loop, thus minimizing the potential for
film damage, compared to some other units. Manual slot load and unload
of the film in mid-reel is a breeze. The entire unit is completely refurbished
prior to modification with all metal film surfaces polished, belts replaced
and all mechanicals cleaned and lubed. Audio output is line level via common
RCA connectors.
This
is a serious transfer unit for both the commercial telecine business or
the home 16mm enthusiast. The end result is a flicker free image that is
sharp corner to corner with no hot spot. Offering a clarity once reserved
for only the finest professional transfer houses, MovieStuff units are
the number one choice, worldwide, for
small business and personal applications.
Technical stuff:
The CineMate-16
HD has a maximum capacity of 2400 feet (take up reel included) and comes
pre-aligned with the condenser lens on a convenient base. A video camera
with the ability to lock to 1/60th of a second for NTSC or 1/50th of a
second for PAL is required and image stabilization must be turned off.
Room lights do not have to be turned off but care should be taken to avoid
reflections in the condenser lens. This unit works best with a camera possessing
a minimum 14x optical zoom (12x can be used but may require a +1 close
up filter).
