so uh
we rescued a set of 4K movie film scanners

does anyone need a set of 4K movie film scanners

if you have a need for a cinema film scanner (or can give it a good home!), and can arrange to have it transported from the Seattle area, message me on fedi or e-mail me at hello@alyx.sh

[alyx@frogs.lgbt]

yes they're Spirit 2Ks
i believe both of them have the 4K upgrade things

[alyx@frogs.lgbt]

we also got this prism cover off of an old ITK yfront machine, which was already missing nearly all of its internals

it's not useful but it certainly looks cool

[alyx@frogs.lgbt]

here's what was behind a panel behind the yfront panel

[alyx@frogs.lgbt]

with cinema film scanners, you can:

digitize some archival footage!
admire them!
fill your jellyfin library with filmrips!

@alyx I do hope they end up at the Internet Archive and we'll soon have a lo-fi 35mm archiving stream!

[hypha@cafe.mycelium.locahlo.st]

@alyx i have a genuine question: how

[dosfox@tech.lgbt]

@karpour @alyx agreed!

[fredy_pferdi@social.linux.pizza]

@alyx Any way to ship this internationally? AMAZING!

@alyx @etchedpixels Maybe the internet archive could use this? :)

[faaab@eldritch.cafe]

@alyx I'd loooove that, but my flat (and my cat) said no unfortunately... 😅

[f4grx@chaos.social]

@alyx maybe @internetarchive ?

[faaab@eldritch.cafe]

@alyx poke @jelora

[crazypedia@pagan.plus]

@alyx does @mediaarchaeologylab or @internetarchive need something like this?

[jelora@mastodon.gargantia.fr]

@faaab @alyx
Oh nice !
I have few 35mm movie and trailers films. I would be happy to get it but I'm in France and I don't know where to put these big things
