Nostalgia
Before there were commercial digital color scanners, before the Internet and before the world got used to tiny, yet powerful digital cameras, there was the Satlight. The Scitex Satlight Portable Film Scanner was a product ahead of its time. Introduced in the middle of the 80?s this ‘portable’ (which needed two strong men to carry) weighed about 50Kg. It included built-in: 35mm Film scanner, color CRT monitor, broadband communication, CPU, hard-disc and lots of electronics. Since only a few devices have actually been sold to real customers?the picture of Satlight here is dedicated to the nostalgic dreamers of the time.
