That Scanbox 4K looks incredible 😍

That 4K scanner is awesome.

Very interesting film scanner, and nice video equipment! :) The Blackmagic video capture card looks like the Decklink Studio 2 I had and unfortunately ruined. So a word of warning before it's too late: You will find the heatsink on the card is rather useless, despite running the very noisy fan at full speed all the time the card still gets very hot. The heatsink is glued to four surface mounted chips. On my card I tried to remove the heat sink to replace it with a much bigger one that would have provided sufficient cooling and would have possibly worked without any fan. But despite being very careful, when I tried to remove the useless original heatsink, I cracked a little ROM chip. Even if I was able to replace that, it would not help as the program in the ROM is lost. So better leave the heatsink alone, even though it really doesn't do much for cooling ;)

My first SVHS machine was a Panasonic NV-FS200. I seem to recall it cost me nearly 800 quid, which was a lot of money to me in those days. Actually I still have it and it still works. Nice machine, but I had recurrent problems with the anti-static brush on the top of the head. I had to clean the brush after every few hours of use in the end, or I'd get a noise streak on the playback picture. I used to clean it by soaking a lint-free tissue in IPA cleaning solvent, lifting the brush and placing the tissue underneath, then sliding the tissue between the brush and the contact on the top of the drum. Worked a treat - for a short time before I'd have to do it again! Also used to drill holes in standard VHS tapes so I could record in SVHS on them (this was before SVHS ET was a thing).

Cool!

I bet you wanted that 4k film scanner, salivating :-D Yes the concreate makes sense, stability and a wide range of oscillation/vibration is stifled by the mass. Looks like he has a really good setup for correcting most film faults. My dad filmed me /mum/brother/sister down the local park with a super 8 camera, I was a baby at the time. The original film was falling apart, bits would snap off, someone put the film through a crude film transfer projector system. I can see the edges of the black apature all the way through the film, and the colour was really way off plus i guess the film was damaged as parts of the picture had odd colour casts. I ran the film through basic software and did the best i could with the purple faces and other faults frame by frame. it took ages. i will never find out what happened to the film as both parents passed away. Apparently the film was so expensive that only short filming was possible.

Can you please answer this question i have transferd VHS tapes using a sony rdr hxd870 hdd recorder but i have a problem getting the files from the internal harddrive to my PC you have to use a DVD discs to copy the files from the hard drive and some are like 10 gb files and i cant find a dvd disc with that much storage. Do you know if i can just take out the sata hard drive and plug it in to my pc using a sata to USB adapter and copy the files?

Tenho um vcr vhs Samsung modelo SV-700S hi-fi nicam,e passado uns 5 minutos começa a ficar com a imagem suja como se fosse as cabeças sujas,e depois sem cor,e a imagem a dobrar e acaba por ficar só a dar som. Será grave?

Curious what kind of 4K camera costs $30K?

Nice mask

If you ever decide to go into film transfer, do consider Moviestuff film scanners, they are around $12K, much cheaper than your friend's 60K machine. They are the most popular brand in USA. Hope you two remain friends though.
