Although it is not a mastering machine, it
is perfect for transferring images of 16, S
16, 35 and Silent 35 to video or directly
in a data-based environment for editing or
storing.
The heart of DIXI is a unique optical
scanner with a broadcast quality CCD
camera.
The capstan drive system provides
extreme steadiness and is suitable for
gentle film handling of archive and
shrunk material.
New integrating sphere just above the
film provides a very even diffuse illumination
of the film and has a similar effect
to a wet gate eliminating scratches and
sparkles.
The calibrated R-G-B colour control system
provides the finishing touch to a very
cost effective system.
Inexpensive to buy and to operate DIXI is
the key to lower cost telecine transfers.
