Professional Film Recorders for Motion Pictures
The Solitaire Cine III Image Recorder is built expressly for the cine industry. Backed by the experience of digital film experts around the world, the Cine III offers the most advanced Solitaire features for cine imaging. The Cine III's new cutom-designed CRT uses a special small spot for superb sharpness. Its unique face plate and lenses add an extra-wide dynamic range for optimum contrast.
A perfect balance between speed and image clarity is engineered into the Cine III making every special effect come to life.

Speed. The Solitaire Cine III gives you excellent quality and an imaging time as fast as 18 seconds per frame at 2K or 4K resolution. With an optional buffer board for storing image data and dramatically increased SCSI and GPIB transfer rates, the Cine III produces more frames per hour than ever before. The automatic self-diagnostic feature at power-up also speeds production because troubleshooting is done before your imaging run.

Consistent Images. Pateneted Digital Geometry Conrol, an all digital alignment system, assures faithful reproduction of colors and images automatically. Curucial parameters such as alignment, vignette, linearity, orthogonality, format, dynamic focus and size are all precisely managed by Digital Geometry Control. Color is no problem with the Cine III's 36-bit color depth. You get the most pure and vibrant colors, blackest blacks and whitest white available for continuous tone or computer generated artwork.

The Solitaire Cine III Image Recorders have been used to image digital special effects in many of Hollywood's biggest blockbuster films, including Toy Story, Forrest Gump, Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, The Mask, Casper, Vertical Limit and Batman Forever.


Flexibility. With the flexibility of patented digital controls, you can change image parameters to accommodate your ever-chaning needs. Support a new image size or produce a different look, the Solitaire Cine III is as flexible as you want it to be. You can also download your own custom color tables for ultimate color control.

Easy Operation. The color-coded push-button menu system gives you fingertip access to all the recorder's functions. Use the Transport Setup, Load/Clear, Advance 1 Frame and Lift Pins buttons to speed through the basic cine functions. The front panel menu system also makes it easy to adjust image characteristics such as position, size, gamma and color balance.

Once you have configured the unit, you can store the configuration for future use. The new smart camera modules also retain setups so information for a specific format is retained within the module and downloaded to Solitaire when it is used. Switching formats has never been easier, faster, or more reliable.
The back-lit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows continuous system operation status.

Total Compatibility. The Solitaire Cine III is GPIB and SCSI compatible and can be configured with SGI workstations and other UNIX machines, PCs and Macintosh computers.
