Super8 Sound Sync Projectors
Two other more expensive projectors may also be substituted
for the upper unit of the DoubleBand Projector. These both
offer superior sound and much brighter pictures than the
S807. They are the Eumig 810 HQS (High Quality Sound)
with an f/1.3 lens and a 100W lamp, and the Bolex SM80,
which has an f/1.2 lens and a 150W lamp. See the projector
data table for further details.

Filmmakers who already own a Eumig or Eumig-type Bolex
with an inching knob at the back, may consider buying just
the lower half of the DoubleBand Projector. This is a sync
Eumig S807 with a double-band conversion kit that can easily
be fitted to your Eumig-made projector. Includes the supporting
table for the upper projector, and timing belt/pulley/
clutch system. Can be used with the following projectors:
Eumig S807, S807D, S810D, 810D Deluxe, 810 HQS, 810D
HQS, 810D Deluxe HQS, and Mark S-O&M (optical and magnetic
sound); Bolex SP8, SP80, SM80.

Finally, filmmakers with certain Eumig projectors may send
them to Super8 Sound to be converted into the lower half
of a DoubleBand Projector. The supporting table is fitted to
the projector, a sync PKIT is installed, and the timing belt/
pulley/clutch system is included in this conversion price.
This is available for the Eumig S807, 5807D, S810D,
810D Deluxe, 810 HQS, 810D HQS, 810D Deluxe HQS,
and Mark S-O&M (optical and magnetic sound).

Projector Sync Modification Kit
This is a simple kit of materials — magnetic reed switches,
magnets, mounting strips, adhesives, cable with wired DIN
plug — and a set of basic instructions that cover installation
of a 1/F sync contact switch in most popular Super 8 projectors.
It is intended for installation by a qualified camera
repairman or knowledgeable handyman.

Super8 Sound PhotoStart
The PhotoStart plugs into the remote control jack of the
Super8 Sound Recorder, and prevents the Recorder from
running until activated by a bright flash of light, e.g. a
scraped frame of an opaque leader, or a 1000Hz burst or
beep tone. This device insures a repeatable double-system
sync start without the frame calibration required for "common
start".

Super8 Sound Recorders (any number with extra taps). Pilot
light. 3 outlets.

Elmo ST1200 Sync Projector
The Elmo stands out as the highest fidelity Super 8 projector
currently available. It also has the largest reel capacity (1200
feet, 365m), one of the brightest lamps, the fastest projection
lens available in a Super 8 projector (f/1.1, as an optional
extra), and an automatic threading system that can be
monitored by opening the projector side and (with difficulty)
be unthreaded in the middle of a film. It handles fullcoat
well, and it is almost impossible to damage film with the
Elmo. The major drawback is the Elmo ST1200's poor sound
fidelity on film spliced with tape. This is no problem for
transfers to prints, or with a well-cemented spliced original,
but every time a tape splice passes the loop former there is a
significant wow, and occasionally, a lost loop. It is easy to
regain loop with the loop-former.
The Elmo ST1200 is the first Super 8 sound projector supplied
directly by the manufacturer with a standard 1/F sync
contact switch, and it therefore does not need a Super8
Sound sync conversion.
