Film Recorder, Slide Recorder, Slide Maker....Different names but the same old nightmares.

If you'd like to learn about a way to eliminate DAC lines, have fast and usable Calibration, exceptional image quality, and blazing fast imaging speed,
YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

We distilled the basic Film Recorder into it's basic elements
and drew some startling conclusions:
aside from the size of the CRT, and the film recorder "Engine"
(the hardware that transfers the data from the interface to the CRT),
they're all pretty much the same.

Regardless of what anyone would have you believe.

We then applied our substantial expertise in designing film recorders to develop a new Engine to mate with a housing. When all was said and done, we came up with a way to convert an old, slow, paperweight of a film recorder into an incredibly fast, high quality, artifact free, imaging machine. And we took the nightmares away from you and back where they belong...
in the collective laps of the other manufacturers.

We call our Engine the PHOENIX.

We're also pleased to offer you our newest addition: the Phoenix PLUS. The Phoenix PLUS is a new 16K film recorder built around our Phoenix Engine. It boasts all of the outstanding features of our Phoenix, as well as an enhanced phosphor CRT. All packaged in a newly manufactured, easily handled enclosure, that accepts a wide variety of film format modules including Standard and Bulk 35mm, 120/220, 4x5, 8x10, and Cine.

For the sake of direct comparison, here's a table of quoted imaging times comparing our Phoenix with a couple of popular, high end units - the abbreviations should be evident if you use a little imagination. The information contained here is readily available in printed form from these manufacturers.
