Tobin Cinema Systems
welcomes you to the TCS web site!
New TCS Tobin Video Transfer TVT-8 telecine machines for Super-8 or 8mm, TVT-16 for 16mm, NTSC or PAL. Connect directly to your DVD or Mini-DV.
Time Lapse (Intervalometer) filming and Animation are possible with the TTL Tobin Time Lapse motor for Bolex. Some users adapt it to the 35mm Konvas or Eclair CM3.
Crystal Motors: By popular request, we are re-introducing select models of crystal motors including Arri 16-S/M and the crystal control for Bolex EBM, EL and ESM.
Ancient movie cameras can use today's superior emulsions of Eastman Kodak, Foma, Fuji and Orwo. (Agfa and Ilford no longer offer movie camera films.)
We make crystal sync pilot generators for Nagra double system sound filming and resolving. We suspect we might be the last company on the planet to do so!
