MovieStuff Retro-8 Home Movie
Scanner
- "The
Retro-8 Home Movie Scanner is the first frame-by-frame, continuous feed, desk
top, high definition movie scanner specifically for home use. Scan and watch
your S8 and R8 films on your PC using the codec-free RetroScan-HD software or
export HD or SD .MOV files that are iTunes compatible or for making BluRay or
DVDs on your own Mac or PC NLE system. You can even output codec-free,
numbered image sequences that are 100% archival. These numbered image
sequences can be imported into any decent edit system now or decades from now
to reconstitute your home movie file. You can also capture handy still frames
using the "SnapShot" button on the RetroScan-HD viewing software. This unit
does not transfer audio but you can run sound film through it. Unique,
two-motor design with direct drive take up and rewind, combined with no
sprockets, no advance claw, no capstan, no pinch roller, no belts, and no
gears means virtually no maintenance. Nothing to lube, nothing to adjust. You
don't even have to focus! All you have to do is dust it off and scan. Long
life super bright LED lasts thousands of hours and produces no heat on the
gate or film. You can leave a frame in the gate with the LED on and it will
NEVER blister the film or lose focus" (from MovieStuff.tv).
