Follow my 3D Printed HD Telecine System Project

Lets have some fun. Watch this project progress.

 
  • 1280x720 3D printed HD telecine system build using off the shelf parts (2K-4K upgrade path)
  • Real-time system operation is planned -- actual 24fps, 18fps and 15fps run times
  • User set fixed and variable film indexing speeds (1fps to 24fps)
  • Arduino (UNO / Due) is being used for test and system control
  • Complete full described BOM (Bill of Materials) will be available
  • All 3D print STL design files will be available
  • Complete HD telecine kit is planned
  • Custom windows software application for camera control and streaming management
  • Planned to handle 8mm, Super and 16mm films on one platform
  • Upgrade path for 35mm academy film considered – 400ft or less for now – too big and heavy
  • Standard HDMI, USB2 or USB3 interface, ext triggered cameras
  • System budget is est to be less than $1000. Camera and lens ain’t cheap for quality results.
