KODAK REELS 8 mm film-digitaliseerapparaat en Super-8 converter met groot display van 12,7 cm (5 inch), de scanner converteert frame in frame naar digitale MP4-bestanden om te bekijken

Very pleased with the operation of this digitizer. Once the initial learning curve is over (after a couple of 8mm reels) the operating procedures fall into place. I was surprised that even film with splices went through the viewer with no problems. The only thing that I could find fault with is that if you stop the operation for any reason (in the middle of a reel) a new file is created when you start up again. That's no big problem however since you can "splice" them back together again if editing using computer software.

Una vez que le encuentras el modo, todo se vuelve más fácil. Conviene practicar con un rollo chico.En YouTube hay videos con instrucciones que son muy útiles.En mi caso escogí la preferencia de cero pixceles que me resultó muy de mi gusto.Hay que darse cuenta de que hay cuatro muescas en la que el filme debe quedar insertado y así evitar imágenes fuera de foco.Es aconsejable, no indispensable, hacerse de alguna pegadora de película por lo de las roturas posibles.La edición y corrección de color se puede hacer en la computadora con un programa para este propósito. El resultado será mejor.Por lo demás, toda la familia está encantada con el rescate en alta definición de los recuerdos familiares y sobretodo por el gran ahorro de dinero si se hiciera en una empresa que se dedique a esto.

Film Scanner pratico per uso amatoriale. Viene talvolta criticato per la sua essenzialità, se paragonato ai modelli professionali (che però costano dai 10.000 euro in sù !) ma penso sia ottimo per la digitalizzazione dei filmini di faiglia, magari datati e ritrovati dimenticati in un cassetto. La caratteristica fondamentale è che scansiona fotogramma per fotogramma e poi ricompone in digitale in formato mp4. Infatti i vecchi 8mm o super 8mm erano girati a 16 fotogrammi/secondo, mentre imoderni MP4 sono a 30 fotogrammi/secondo (o 25 f/s). Ricampionando i fotogrammi correttamente si ottiene una buona resa digitale. E' possibile impostare una certa correzione di luminosità e colore. Impiega 10 minuti per scansionare un filmato 8mm di 3 minuti. Fondamentale caricare bene la pellicola nello scanner, fate molta attenzione !! E' utile poi elaborare il file MP4 con una post produzione per ridare 'vigore' alle immagini. Consiglio DaVinci Resolve (gratuito al momento), ma non banale da usare.

This Super 8 movie digitiser does exactly what I wanted. So far, I have digitised 30 old Super 8 movies with it.The thing which was most important to me was a slow digitisation speed. This unit digitises at 2 frames per second, which is perfect. The reason this is perfect is that at this speed, whenever the film jams, which is quite frequent, I can manually push the film on a few millimetres, and it continues the digitisation with the frames perfectly aligned both horizontally and vertically.When I enquired 5 years ago about getting the digitisation done commercially by the professionals, I phoned them up to ask what they do when the film jams. They said they just snip out the bad bits and keep going. So then important irreplaceable history is lost. Since my film was in quite bad condition after 50 years, I would have lost large chunks of significant family history.I also considered digitisation machines which digitise at full speed, like 18 or 30 frames per second. At such speed, it would be very difficult to correct any jams by manually moving the film onwards a bit. At 2 frames per second, manual intervention worked every time, on all 30 movies. That's quite remarkable.For successful digitisation, two things are important with this equipment. First, the film must be threaded correctly between the four little tabs which hold the film in place. Second, the film must be wound on in the zig-zag fashion prescribed for the take-up spool. If that is not done, the vertical registration will be faulty and you will have to start again. Also important is blowing away (or otherwise removing) any dust or hair in the little well where the light source is before each digitisation.Apart from these considerations, there's nothing else worth mentioning. The unit works as expected. The cost is a bit high for such a light and simple device. But it does work perfectly well, which is worth paying for. It also costs about the same as getting the professionals to do a large number of films commercially. And you can do the job better than them by just nudging the film on every time it gets jammed.
