Video Tap

[Bob Hobbs]

Hey,

Long time reader.. Needing a little help to wrap my head around a possible video tap option for my ikonoskop SP-16

 

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/JURGENS-COLOR-VIDEO-TAP-35mm-Arri-35-3-C-Mount-Arriflex-SONY-CCD-Camera-WORKS/182862271583?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

Could anyone let me know a little more about this product?

I'm wondering about power options, also just a general understanding of how it works in relation to a C-mount camera (how does the CCD work in relation to the film stock, where is my light going??? Also, Anyone see any reasons this won't work for a video assist for my NON-reflex Camera.)

Really looking to get this camera reflex without paying $6000USD for the Duall Conversion.


Thanks!
Bob!

Hi,

 

this item might work for a videotap, but first you must get a beamsplitter into the camera, I would sugest (actually this is what I'm going to do as soon as i find the time) to install a Bolex H16 reflex beamsplitter into the IKONOSKOP SP-16, once done this, I belive most 16mm viewfinder knees should work.
