Sankyo Projector with Webcam 7FPS HD Resolution synchronous capture
In the last two months, I acquired both a Sankyo Dualux 1000 and a 2000 with the express purpose of this project. I can't wait for the details. The capture video looks phenomenal.
Update:
Installed a 75 Ohm 100W resistor in series with the rheostat center connector to get a wide range of slow speed. Ran at 8 FPS and here is the test video as is without any post. One flicker and a few bumps due to worn out film. The flicker at the beginning is before I slowed the system down to 8 FPS. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fa8...ew?usp=sharing
IMHO this is the way to go for the budget system and surprisingly good quality transfer.
Replaced the webcam lens with a better quality 16mm AICO lens.
Will provide more details within a few days.
Awesome. I look forward to more details and results. I guess with sound film and sound projector you could also capture the audio in sync. I have over 60 hours of film I want to transfer. This may be the ideal and affordable solution. Thanks.
Hi Kim,
My capture sw has a limit of 7 FPS on my system. If I go higher I see some flicker on the top of the image. I have not spent much time analyzing where is the bottleneck is. The sw is available at my github site. https://github.com/vintagefilmograph...ith_elp_camera
