Product Overview

Universities, boardrooms, and conventions have the common goal of effective information communication. Today’s individual is continually being bombarded by sophisticated media presentation. To compete effectively for his attention (and retention) one must utilize similar techniques. The basis for most current efforts is elec- tronic data manipulation.

A picture is still “worth a thousand words”, therefore, in may presentations there is a need to insert pictures electronically for display, image enhancement, publishing, etc. Some of the “best” pictures around are stored on the millions of existing 35mm slides.

The sole function of the VideoMate 2030 (NTSC) & 2030 (PAL) is to provide an electronic representation of the contents of a normal 35mm slide. The output signals available are Composite Video and S-Video.

Product Description

The VideoMate 2030 utilizes a standard Kodak slide transport mechanism to present the 35mm slide image to a “state-of-the-art” color CCD array. Included in the package is a color balanced illumination system and high resolution Navitar zoom imaging lens. The zoom lens permits both the viewing of “vertical” slides and some “blowing up” of the center portion of the image.

Output is standard Composite Video through the BNC connector and S-Video output is available through a 4-pin MiniDin plug.
