The photos in this section show construction details of some of the parts used in the Cine Film Recorder. Please read all the instructions and documentation elsewhere in this HTML document (Web site) before trying to build the Cine Film Recorder. The information about the Cine Film Recorder is intended only for use in testing DANCAD3D.EXE (tm).
See also Section: 3.80.0.0 and Section: 9.75.61.0 for information about DANCINEL.EXE (tm) to display 2048x1536x32 high resolution Digital Cinema like image frame files on the monitor in your cine film recorder and have DANCINEL.EXE (tm) automatically operate the cine film camera and filter wheels.
See also the video about building a cine film recorder in Section: 4.0.0.0.
The single frame cine camera motor is advanced by a tone tapped off of the computer's speaker. The length of time the tone is on controls the exposure time. The signal tone and pause are produced by using the macro SIGNAL and DELAY commands. See also SECTION: 5.1.2.0 and SECTION: 5.1.2.1 for more information about the cine camera single frame advance motor.
For cine cameras that do not have an external drive shaft that you can use to advance the camera from a single frame motor, you may be able to use the camera's cable release with the camera set to single frame mode. For camera's that have a single frame time exposure mode you may be able to use the length of time the signal from the computer is on to control the time of the film's exposure to the light coming from the computer monitor in the recorder box. Use the macro SIGNAL command in DANCAD3D (tm) to set the length of time the signal coming from your computer's loudspeaker lasts. To save wear on the single frame advance, advance the camera by using its continuous run internal motor, when you want to run the head or tail leaders in or out for "daylight" loading of the camera. See also SECTION: 5.1.3.0 and SECTION: 5.1.3.1 for more information about the solenoid cable advance for cine cameras.
The cine film recorder box holds the camera and monitor steady, and keeps stray light off the monitor. You need extension cables to pass into the box for the AC line power cord, audio signal coaxial cable, and the monitor video extension cable. If you make your box to have a wide light trap air vent you, can snake your cables through the light trap without having to make extra holes in your box. At the end opposite the monitor you should drill a small hole, with a covering flap, so you can peek in and see what is on the monitor.
