I'm still working on playing around with my Pioneer / PM 6100 Clone, but I'll be releasing a full video about this system quite soon! I've got some neat upgrades for it! 🔥

Feel free to share the examples, that would be fun. I haven't messed with the frame rate yet, but that'll be next I imagine. Someone sent me the innards of their v2.0 project after they had some soldering issues. Other than the power input board, it seems largely identical. However the...

This weekend I digitized a Super 8 reel using the Kodak device (1920x1440, etc) and compared it to a previous capture I made using my old home-made telecine style setup I made in 2017 using a DSLR (which was limited to 720p resolution). The attached screenshots below are from the original files...

I'm so glad this thread has proven helpful for your archiving efforts! (y) I'm touched that this has helped you with archiving your precious family memories. I'm tempting to purchase a v2.0 unit, although the hardware inside looks nearly identical... but I do wonder if somehow I can push it...

Here's my tips for getting a good image: 1. Ensure the Zoom is all the way out, any zooming in is digital and doesn't help things much 2. Set the sharpness to -1.5 (this may be as close to the "off/low" setting as it goes), it seems the 0.0 setting still applies a filter and introduces...

You're welcome! I've been able to change the resolution (up to 1920x1440) and bitrate, but not the white balance. (n) There is a program on the device that is taking a photo, adjusting the balance/color, and changing things... I am not smart enough to understand how it does this or if it could...

Awesome work! I'd love to test this out! 🎉

Excellent, I'm glad you were successful in increasing the video bit rate on your device. The original resolution (in a 4:3 aspect) of the device is 1728x1296. I've recently found that I can bump up the resolution to 1920x1440, which gives a nice resolution increase, especially if you consider...

FYI, I've uploaded the STB v1 hard drive image, you can download it here. The original file was a .dmg and needed some help to convert it into something usable. Now it's a BlueSCSI compatible .HDA file. It will also work in an emulator.

Good to know. Yes, Kodak's firmware does a lot of auto-color / auto-white balance which can sometimes have undesirable results. Great! (y)

I posted it on Twitter, here's the download link (use the second download): https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac84-poster-kits-cd I made the HD icon a few years back using Icon Factory's software. Sean needed a HD image for his Mac TV, so I set one up for him... with some custom icons and some...

This is SO cool, thanks so much for sharing! The montage at the end is particularity fun. Well done!

It was an absolute blast and a whirlwind! I hope to share some photos and video soon. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said hello!

The v2.0 file is only with the original bit rate (6400) and the default resolution. I haven’t had a chance to modify it or test any mods. However the steps are detailed in the initial post if you wanted to try it yourself. To clarify, there are two versions of the product. From what I gather...

I'll see you all there, very excited for the event this year! 🥳

Great! Glad to hear it :-) I will say that adjusting the resolution / bit rate on the 2.0 firmware seems to be the same process for version 1.0. I'll dig into this a bit more after VCFMW.

@Dare was kind enough to send their board my way. Version 2.0 of the Kodak firmware has been preserved. You can find it here. Doing a quick comparison in a hex editor, both firmware files have differences and are not identical. Warning! I have no way to test the v2.0 firmware just yet. So use...

Hi Thomas, Thanks for the kind words. I'm happy to provide some insight into these devices. I'm sorry Kodak couldn't provide you with any update files. Of course, in a perfect world user modification wouldn’t be required. It would be great if Kodak had some type of resolution or video bit rate...

Yes! Thanks for the great article. It’ll be interesting to see if we have all the pieces to make a bootable system with video out! 👍

For almost 17 years I've been tinkering around with the Apple Interactive Television Box, or Set Top Box (STB). If you don't know much about the device, there's a great wiki for it here. But essentially, it was a semi-Macintosh LC 475 designed to support multimedia playback and interactive...
