Vendo film recorder POLAROID PALETTE PLUS, compreso di adattatori per pellicola Polaroid e pellicola 35mm, e cavi di collegamento con il computer.

E' stato ai suoi tempi un innovativo apparecchio che permetteva di registrare su pellicola (a sviluppo istantaneo o 35mm) quanto appariva a schermo su un PC. Ecco un estratto illustrativo:

"The (original) Palette, Palette Plus. Polaroid originally entered the film recorder business with the production of the Polaroid Palette video film recorder. This unit attached to the video output signal from IBM PC's, and copied the computer screen onto film. Consequently the resolution of the image on film was exactly the same as the computer's monitor. The earliest Palettes were designed for the CGA video adapter card, which was a video card with a top resolution of only 320 x 200 with only 4 colors. Later the Palette Plus was released, to support the IBM EGA video adapter card, which had 640 x 350 resolution and a whopping 16 colors. With extremely low resolutions like these, the slides these Palettes produced were, of course, awful. The video Palettes have two 9-pin D-type connectors, each with 2 rows of pins, on the back. One connector is for connection to the computer's video output, and the second one sends the video signals on to the next device, usually the computer's monitor. This way it was not necessary to disconnect the monitor in order to connect the film recorder to the computer's video output. The video Palettes also have an RS-232 Serial connector to allow control of the film recorder from the computer (mainly to tell the film recorder when to take a screen picture - no picture data was transferred via the RS-232 serial port). Because the resolution of these old IBM video cards was so low, there was no need for fancy optics, and so the 35mm camera portion (generally referred to in the film recorder industry as a "camera back") on the Palette and Palette Plus was a flimsy plastic number. The 35mm camera back was removable, and could be swapped with an optional instant Polaroid 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 sheet film back, for instant Polaroid prints. Polaroid Palettes were marked with the model numbers of the form 72-xx, including 72-19, 72-20 and 72-25 (there was also a model 72-10, which had two RCA video connectors on the back instead of the two 9-pin D-type connectors, and was designed to copy TV-type video, not computer output)."

L'apparecchio è in ottime condizioni, anche se non mi è stato possibile testare completamente il collegamento a un computer non avendo un tipo di PC adatto: tuttavia si accende, e collegandoli, gli adattatori per pellicola scattano regolarmente.

Una vera curiosità per amanti del vintage fotografico e informatico, e per tutti gli sperimentatori!
