The MINI35 '400' was the start for a whole product family of P+S TECHNIK Image Converters and because of its high quality design and maximum modular product structure, it has proved itself as a very time-enduring product. Consisting of a basic unit and the connecting kits to attach different camcorders, the MINI35 has already been adapted to more than fifteen different camcorder models.

The MINI35 Compact combines the market proven features of the MINI35 '400' model with redesigned optical elements into a more compact and lightweight housing, especially for video cameras with a detachable lens. The MINI35 Compact is currently available for the following camcorder:
Canon XL H1, XH A1/G1, JVC GY-HD251/250, HM700, Panasonic AG-PX300/301

With this convergent device, a video camera can capture the same depth-of-field, focal length and angle-of-view as 35mm film. The Image Converter resolves the 35mm image from the lens onto a ground glass located at the position of the traditional film plane. The image is then optically frozen, down-scaled and transmitted to the camera's CCDs. You can use the converter relay lens' own iris or the camera's iris to control the amount of light coming through the system without affecting the dept- of-field. This gives you new creative freedom, unknown before on digital cameras.

Cinematographers:
When a conservative production budget precludes shooting in 35 mm you get impressive film-quality images with a video camera, the P+S TECHNIK Image Converter and your favourite 35 mm film lenses.
For productions shot in 35 mm film, shoot pre-production trial footage with the MINI35 Image Converter and get a true 35 mm image without having to use an expensive film camera. Get immediate results on a monitor without the postproduction costs associated with film.

Video Filmmakers:
For the first time you can enhance your creativity by controlling depth-of-field with your digital video camera. Reproduce the dimensional quality of 35 mm film on a digital video storage and produce better images for TV spots, documentaries, features, Internet applications and presentations.
