Vast Valley Presentation on the MINI35® Image Converter For Digital Cameras

Galahad Goulet and Volker Ehlers co-founded Vast Valley Ltd. in 2006. It is a means to produce our own projects as well as facilitate your production with equipment, know-how and creativity. They will be demonstrating MINI35® Image Converter whichh enables you to enhance your creativity by controlling depth-of-field on your digital video camera. Reproduce the threedimensional quality of 35mm film on a HDV tape and produce better images for TV spots, documentaries, features and presentations.

The Image Converter resolves a 35mm image onto a ground glass located at the traditional film plane. The image is then optically frozen, downscaled and transmitted to the camera's CCDs. The Image Converter relay has its own iris to control the amount of light coming through the system without affecting depth-of-field giving new creative freedom not available on a standard digital camcorder. Depth of field, focus and angle of view are virtually the same as with a 35mm motion picture camera.
