PIRL's CCG PCR4 Film Recorder

This film recorder prints grayscale and color images onto 35mm film. It has a maximum resolution of 4Kx4K pixels, and is excellent for creating presentation-quality images and text slides. The hardware is a CCG PCR-4 that replaces the old QCR/Z that went into retirement in 1999. The QCR/Z has since been resurrected, and is being held in "emergency reserve" in case the PCR-4 needs service.

This film recorder has the same capabilities of the old QCR/Z film recorder, with some notable enhancements:

This system is available for use by all of LPL. Prospective users are encouraged to take a tour of its capabilities and learn how to use its software. Contact Joe Plassmann or Brad Castalia for tour information. People accustomed to the QCR/Z software will be happy to learn that there are no significant differences in the operation of the software with this new device.

Prospective users that don't want to know how this new film recorder works, but do want to have slides made, can contact Maria Schuchardt who will be happy to shoot your slides for you.

The film recorder is located in SS-429A.
