Film Recorder software wanted

[John Salim]

Bit of a long shot, but does anybody know where I can find 'generic' film recording software ?
Does anyone here use such a machine ?

I have two perfectly good Imapro QCR-35 recorders ( possibly with corrupt software ) sitting dormant, waiting to be woken up !

Any leads will be very welcome,
John S

I still have a copy of Werp (circa 2009) for Windows; unfortunately, I no longer have the key. It might be good for testing purposes (puts bars across the output when in demo mode), but that's about all. Sorry!

Have you tried contacting Imapro? Their web site lists software for the QCR and their support email is support@imapro.com.

Thanks for getting in touch.
Unfortunately that's an old website that's still kept online.
The Imapro Corporation has been defunct at least for a couple of decades.

Did you ever get your Imapro working with Werp? Just curious.

Hi, are you still looking for software to drive a QCR?

 

[John Salim]

Hi there, actually no because we discovered the problem is with the GPIB link.

I've had an engineer round and after monitoring the individual signal lines, set up a custom made interface which modifies these levels ( mostly the 'handshake' signals ).
The machine worked with his lash up and is now building me my own device.
I'll update this thread once it's properly up and running.

What software do you have ?

Cheers,
John S

Hi John,

Sorry, I don't have any third party software. I worked in the plant where the QCRs were produced, writing firmware and production software for them. it's really interesting to learn that these devices are still being used!
