Yeah I’d love to, but I just get the feeling a lot of universal users are happy just providing SD scans to their clients haha.
Do you happen to know what camera the HDS uses? I’m assuming a FLIR blackfly S? if it doesn’t say the model number, if you ran FLIR spin view application with the camera plugged in, it should display the model number.
The camera on the Universal II is a great camera, It’s a FLIR cam that’s listed as 10/12bit if you want it to be. I think it’s just the software that goes with the universal scanner that bumps it down to 8 bit (which comes back to the majority of users still using SD)
The stability of the scan straight out with no stabilisation is excellent, the gate is rock solid. I don’t apply any stabilisation unless the film was warped or had damaged sprocket holes. does the HDS scan jump around a bit?
When scanning with the universal, I need to modulate the LED output to adjust the exposure as I don’t want to use the auto exposure which is just adjusting the gain. I believe your HDS adjusts the LED automaticly during the scan, so you could essentially let it do it’s own thing?
It can take me ages to scan a 400ft reel if the shooter kept going inside - outside - inside because I can’t adjust the LED quick enough during scene changes, so I have to pause, rewind, set brightness, continue. I WISH the moviestuff software could control the LED output.
