>"one of the types Hollywood uses to digitize..." etc etc
I stand corrected. I just oversimplified because the Rank is the most
popular.
If I have to name every single Telecine that Hollywood and IMAX
uses/used then one wouldn't know from where to start: Rank URSA,
Cintel C-Reality, BTS FLH-1000, FDL-60, Philips Spirit DataCine,
Thomson Shadow, ITK Millenium, Sony Vialta, and all the other Line
Array CCD Telecines, and then we have Anamorphic, Cinemascope 55
telecine. Oh God. But to my knowledge, the only Flying Spot Scanner
with a custom made REGULAR 8 / S8 gate is found at PostHouse.
Other facilities, such as FSFT, use the Thomson Shadow Flying Spot
Scanner for SUPER8. http://www.fsft.com/ (no regular8)
.... ok, ok, some would argue that in the 70's Kodak made an 8mm
desktop Flying Spot Scanner for TV stations. In my humble opinion, it
would be much more easier to find a 2" VTR in working order than a
Kodak 8mm CRT scanner even in a museum...
