<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Crystal Sync<br />
Crystal Sync Operation<br />
Crystal sync equipment eliminates the sync cable used to send<br />
a pilotone signal or 1/F sync pulse signal from the camera to a<br />
second track of the sync recorder. This signal was a record of<br />
the variations in the camera speed during sound filming. With<br />
crystal sync the camera is precisely speed-controlled to run at<br />
an exact 24fps (or 25fps for sync work in 50Hz countries). A<br />
companion crystal sync generator for the recorder provides<br />
an equally precise 24fps or 25fps signal, derived from a quartz<br />
crystal oscillator exactly like that used to set the camera<br />
speed. This signal is recorded on the sync track just as the<br />
cable signal would be. As with cable sync filming, it is necessary<br />
to slate and provide a clap-mark for each scene.<br />

<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Crystal Camera Control<br />
The Crystal Camera Control matches the speed of a <strong>Super</strong> 8<br />
camera to a quartz crystal clock at precisely 24 frames per<br />
second, allowing cableless sync sound filmmaking with the<br />
<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder and other crystal sync sound<br />
recorders.<br />
Crystal Camera Controls are available for the Beaulieu<br />
4008ZM2 and 4008M3, and for the Nizo S480, S560,<br />
S800, 481, 561, 801, and 800P Professional.<br />
The Control is 1" x 2" x 2" mounted on a 2" x 4" bracket<br />
and weighs six ounces. It attaches directly to the camera,<br />
which is its power source. It is accurate to within one<br />
frame in 14,400 frames (10 minutes). No battery, cables or<br />
belt attachments encumber the cinematographer. A lightemitting<br />
diode indicates proper sync operation.<br />
Beaulieu cameras require no modification but must be<br />
equipped with a 1/F sync contact switch, available from<br />
<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong>.<br />
Braun North America will adapt a Nizo camera for crystal<br />
speed control.<br />
<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Crystal Sync Generator<br />
The Crystal Sync Generator 24 provides a precise 24fps sync<br />
pulse, derived from an accurate quartz crystal clock, suitable<br />
for recording on the sync track of our cassette sync recorders.<br />
The Crystal Sync Generator 24 is 1" x 2" x 2" and weighs<br />
about five ounces. It mounts directly to the strap of the recorder's<br />
carrying case. It derives its operating power from the<br />
cassette recorder batteries. Accuracy is one frame in 14,400<br />
frames (10 minutes). 25fps is also available.<br />

Why consider crystal sync when a 25-foot coiled extension<br />
cable is available for the <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder and when<br />
additional cables can be connected in series? There are two<br />
basic reasons: first, complete freedom of mobility for cameraman<br />
and soundman, and second, the need for multiple sync<br />
cameras and recorders. Multiple cameras are essential for complete<br />
coverage of non-repeatable phenomena such as concerts,<br />
sporting events, or important interviews. Multiple sync recorders<br />
capture sound from different perspectives - crowd,<br />
performers, etc.
