Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 https://archive.org/details/dvw-golden-eye-archive-scanner Uses 2 cameras. Anyone have experience with it? Cost?
Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted February 21, 2022 Site Sponsor Posted February 21, 2022 Basically a tri-linear 4K CCD machine i.e. a not as good version of the Spirit 4K or Scannity. Evidently not the most reliable of scanners either. 1
Dan Baxter Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 From what I understand it's a piece of junk. 1
Site Sponsor Perry Paolantonio Posted February 21, 2022 Site Sponsor Posted February 21, 2022 Picture quality is pretty terrible on these machines. Lots of issues with splice bumps, but also dynamic range isn't good at all. 1
Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted February 23, 2022 Site Sponsor Posted February 23, 2022 I accidentally got included on a email thread about the GE scanner by a similarly named lab in London..... nothing nice was being said about this machine in that thread and they were trying to do 65mm dailies with it....
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted February 24, 2022 Author Posted February 24, 2022 Thanks for the rundown members! It is sad that they sell problem child's like this. If Cintel would just come up with a better sensor and take warped 16mm it would be a pretty good deal for the money.
Dan Baxter Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 The Cintel is good for the money. If it had no problems it wouldn't cost $30K.
