nice to see that they try a HD solution too..

their marketing spin is pretty questionable though:
once they mention a "3CCD camera head", then later "3-CMOS chip", i would expect a company that actually *builds* the unit to know the difference.

also, the sentence “The flashscan HD is the industry standard for super 8 and 8mm digital film scanning and we are delighted to demonstrate the system here today.” is funny at best. how can you be the industry standard if nobody uses the device yet? ;)

still, i'd love to be at IBC, cintel is there too.

Even funnier/stranger: That device isn't listed on the production company's webpage:

And even more funnier/stranger:
The "broadcastbuyer"-text calls the company "MWA Sondar Engineering" in the headline and "MWA sondor engineering" in the text!
