Professional video transfer kit, in fitted white case, (45cm x 32cm x 10cm) by Van Doornen Innovision of Holland.

This equipment is used for transfer of cine films.

Film is projected onto a screen, measuring about  37.5cm x 32cm,

and is transferred via a surface silvered mirror from where a camera records that image.

Offers please

Blimey

takes me back. I have one as well.
they were really good and cost about £130 when money was probably twice the value that it is now.
Funnily enough, I got my first request for a cine transfer in 4 years yesterday.

Re: VanDoornen Video Transfer kit

Just finished an interesting job! A guy who worked for a local TV company 50 odd years ago brought in loads of 35mm stills to be digitised. They used to film on 35mm & when the un-used film was bought in they would cut off lengths of un-exposed film to use in their own 35mm still cameras, enterprising to say the least. He had never seen the results until I scanned in the images to produce digital files!

Talking about this to another client who used to work for a newspaper who said that if the TV company wanted to use an image on the local news broadcast, the local rag would have to give it to the bus driver to drop of at the studio on his way to Plymouth no later than 5pm! How times have changed.

Can you imagine the answer you would get back if you had told them that in the future you would simply click a button (they wouldn`t understand the term, using a mouse) to send the image across the world let alone 30 miles down the road :-)

I (somewhere) have a photography series that was join BBC2 on VHS.

 one episode looked into being a "sports photographer" and had 2 togs at a football game.

One shot a roll and handed it to a courier at half time.

One developed his roll in a tank in the washrooms and then fitted the still wet film into a huge scanner type unit, then connected to a mobile phone the size of a car battery.
This was received back at the newspaper in a classic 80's slow appearance of a picture, line by line.

The programme was saying how this was the future for high end journalism, but wouldn't reach the masses.

I used to know a stringer for Southern who'd film on 16mm and a motorcycle would meet him to collect the film, which went back to Southampton and was developed and shown wet on the news a few hours later

Surprising how a small advertisement generates all this nostalgia! Very interesting though.

 In view of  comments the offer is closed. Equipment donated to a charity shop now - if acceptable.
