Just an interesting update I'd like to share before I forget. If you have a UART serial connection to the device you can enable two undocumented modes. A photo capture mode (to capture stills that are viewable on the device or SD card) and a USB webcam mode! In this mode, a USB camera shows up...

You're welcome, glad to know you like the results. As long as you set "Sharpen" to -1.5 the compression artifacts should be fairly limited. Sadly my v2.0 unit's take up motor died. It's probably still under warranty, but maybe not the return window. These things are clearly quite cheaply made...

I have both models now. The insides are largely identical. However, the CPU chip has slightly different ID codes on it. This may mean it's similar, or the same. This may mean that software needed to be modified in order to make it work. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing the differences...

We appreciate your dedication! 🔥

Mark mentioned that there should be a few extras for sale on their page once all the Kickstarter ones are sent out, etc.

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 -2.0 (this is the "off/low" setting), it seems the 0.0 setting still applies a filter and introduces compression artifacts 3. Adjust the...

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! 🥳
