Two of these showed up at Community Thrift in San Francisco a few weeks ago, and I picked one up yesterday. American Cinematographer in 1986 says: Seems like this was used in the 80s to print CGI to film! Looking inside, I saw a 2-phase stepper motor with what appears to be a glued-on optical encoder. The magazine feed and takeup are driven by Japan Servo 5000rpm DC motors with 10:1 gear reductions. There do not seem to be an actual computer inside - this is good! With a bit of help and experimentation, I can probably recreate the original controller, which I don't have, with a common MCU. Anyone ever worked with one of these, or have any docs for it? Here is the camera. Is it actually the PC-35 described in ASC mag? What kind of magazine does it take? A standard 400ft Mitchell?

Hello all, I am hoping that someone can answer my questions here. I am planning on shooting a 20 min. narrative short on a BMPCC 4K Cinema Camera. I will be using the BRAW 3:1 at 2.6K in a 16:9 aspect ratio, at 24 FPS. Once it is edited and color corrected and sound design is applied, I will take a digital file and send it to either CineLab in Massachusetts, or Colorlab in Rockville, MD for a filmout negative and a 16mm print. I am thinking that the lab will be able to make a 4:3 squeezed print from the 16:9 image. Is this even possible?
