  • 16mm 2/4k transfers in uk ?

    I’m looking for someone in UKto do 2/4K transfers from 16mm ?
    alternatively does anyone have any experience with the ELMO TVR.HD PAL?
    I am tempted by the machines being offered on eBay.

    Hi!

    There are at least two companies, e.g.:
    https://www.on8mil.com/product-category/scan-16mm-film/
    and
    https://www.gaugefilm.co.uk/store/p9..._100ft%29.html
    But I have never used their 16mm scanning services, being located in the EU and only shooting Super8/Single8/DS8.

    As for the Elmo TRVs: The original TRVs had very, very bad analog video cameras (something like only 250 or 350 scan lines). Elmo never offered an official update. I have seen various DIY upgrades offered on eBay (or for rent in France) that had at least „full PAL resolution“ output via USB. Even though the sometimes provided samples looked great, you’ll never know what you’ll really get. (Even the French rental company didn’t use the same camera more than twice in their modified TRVs.) So it would heavily depend on the price and your trust in the seller.

    Hope this helps
    Jörg
