Horizontal Editing Equipment<br />
MKM Horizontal Editing Machine<br />
The MKM Editing Table was introduced in 1973, and it is<br />
the most widely used horizontal <strong>Super</strong> 8 fullcoat editing<br />
facility.<br />
The picture head is an original design incorporating an 8-sided<br />
prism, a 21V/150W projector-type lamp with dichroic reflector<br />
and an additional dichroic mirror to keep film cool,<br />
and a large bright groundglass rear screen (3.75" x 5") that<br />
can be viewed confortably by as many as 6 to 10 people<br />
sitting up to 45 ° off axis, in a normally lit room.<br />
The sound path has a flywheel/capstan and flutter filter<br />
tensioner to provide excellent sound fidelity. With the AC<br />
synchronous version of the table, it is possible to do transfers<br />
or mixes using the <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder in AC sync<br />
mode. A built-in solid state amplifier and speaker have volume<br />
and tone controls, and a headphone monitor jack.<br />
Picture and sound have separate electric clutches. Either<br />
strand or both can be moved forward or backward at continuously<br />
variable speeds from 0 to 62fps. Creep speeds at less<br />
than 1fps can be accomplished, and there is a manual inching<br />
control for locating an exact frame. Both picture and sound<br />
can be marked, at the frame in the gate or at the sound head.<br />
Options include a matching work table with folding legs, a console<br />
version built into a work table with permanent chromeplated<br />
legs, a single-system magnetic head on the picture<br />
strand, and a two-channel amplifier. To order a single-system<br />
head on an MKM table, add the suffix "-1" to the product<br />
code, e.g. MKM824-1. To order a 2-channel amplifier on an<br />
MKM table, add the suffix "-2" to the product code, e.g.<br />
MKM824-2, or for a table with a single-system head and two<br />
channel amp, MKM824-1-2. Both the single-system head and<br />
the two-channel amplifier must be ordered with the table;<br />
they cannot be added later.<br />
Two 6-plate versions of the MKM table, with one picture and<br />
2 sound heads, will be available later this year. The Model<br />
1224 is a self-contained unit, with legs, with complete editing,<br />
<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Editing<br />
playback and mixing capabilities. The Model 1224R, in the<br />
same console unit, is projected to have those same basic<br />
functions as well as recording capability to and from all<br />
sound tracks.<br />

These horizontal editing tables were introduced in early 1975<br />
and immediately were available in 4-plate, 6-plate, and 8-plate<br />
versions. An optional picture head can be added to the left and<br />
right hand sides of the table, allowing combinations of three<br />
picture tracks with one sound, two picture and two sound,<br />
or one picture and three sound tracks. The 4-plate and 6-plate<br />
versions may be expanded later to add additional plates, up<br />
to eight.<br />

The picture head is a conversion of an action-principle viewer<br />
with a 4-sided prism. The rear screen is a 5" x 7" color corrected<br />
fresnel lens, which focuses the light into a bright narrow<br />
beam suitable for viewing by one person even in a<br />
brightly lit room. The lamp is a 6V/10W quartz viewer lamp.<br />
The sound paths use a large 40-tooth single sprocket drive to<br />
advance the sound smoothly and intelligibly. <strong>Sound</strong> amplification<br />
is provided, and multi-track models have volume controls<br />
for each track.<br />
Picture and sound paths are independently clutched. Independent<br />
torque motors on the take-up and supply reels can be<br />
turned on and off separately from the drive motor, allowing<br />
one track to be rewound while another is moving at 24fps.<br />
Manual inching control. A common start outlet allows any<br />
number of <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorders to start in sync with<br />
the editing table, and sound tracks from the table be laced<br />
through the sound heads of <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorders for<br />
