Originally purchased by Spectra for ,000.00 for use on their Digi 4 and Y-front.  Now it is being sold for pennies on the dollar!  This amazing gate created by Mike Waldie at Video Engineering provides custom optics that include a zoom and focus for setting optimum picture size on the tube for best picture (highest resolution) while eliminating tube burn and shading issues that would interfere with 16mm or 35mm formats.  Sliding sprocket and interchangeable skid plates (included) allow the gate to be easily converted between super 8 and regular 8 film formats.
The gate was created as a far superior option to the standard Cintel super 8 gate (converted from 16mm) that offered no zoom or side adjustment.  These inferior Cintel produced gates created huge problems with tube shading while lacking resolution.  The new V3 Gate worked around this problem with a superior design and optics for the best scans the Cintel telecine machines could offer at the time.
Warranty:
The gate was removed from operation in perfect working order 2 years ago.  Considering price reduction, this item is sold "as is" with no warranty or guarantee.
