On this page you will find some info on the DSuper8 project from Manuel Angel. It is based on the Raspberry Pi Film Capture project https://groups.google.com/g/rpi-film-capture
A telecine machine to digitize old Super8 films frame by frame, using the Raspberry Pi.

The video below was made by Manuel in 2020:

With the support from Manuel I was able to modify my Bauer T192 projector into a Normal8/Super8 film scanner:
DNG frame capture with DS8. Edit in Davinci Resolve Studio.
New workflow using 4 nodes in Color tab: Noise reduction, Sharpen, Color correction, transform and crop.
In the video below you will find my workflow in DaVinci Resolve Studio.
Regular 8 film was scanned with DS8 software and HQ Rpi camera connected to a modified Bauer T192 projector. Both server and client of the DS8 software running on the same Rpi with the Bookworm 64bit OS.
Scanning JPG and DNG format in 4k at the same time.

Although the name is DSuper8 it is also possible to use it for other type of film projectors. This is my 9,5mm film scanner:
The results of scanning an old 9,5mm film, scanned with a new version of DS8, for the Rpi5:
And a 16mm 2xperf film scanner:
With a comparssion, left as scanned, right after basic edits in DavinciResolve Studio and final edit in CapCut Pro:
And a 35mm film scanner.… This time a design from scratch not using a projector as a base but a small wooden skid with 3D designed and printed parts. In the near future controlled from DS8. Here is the first prototype in action, just running the 35mm film:
