  • Easy asynchronous setup with Canon S400, very good quality.

    Tried to make a simple system and still have pretty decent video quality.
    It is a simplified version of this system:

    Used Canon S400 projector, Canon T2i camera and Laowa micro lens. The nice thing about this projector is that the front is wide enough to let the lens close enough to the film gate. Added the power resistor to cut the frame rate at around 4 FPS, removed two shutter blades and left the main one in, added an off the shelf led light. The scanned video has frames with the black bands that I remove using the remove_dups.avs avisynth script. The script removes almost 100% of all duplicate and bad frames. The script is based on the getdups.avs script.

      If anyone is interested in the projector let me know. Will sell it below my cost, have too many setups and need some space. Will include the projector modded for slow speed and the LED light. Very suitable for 8mm transfer projects. Just add the camera and lens.
