On Location<br />
The <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder I will record in sync on location<br />
with over 40 available <strong>Super</strong> 8 sync sound cameras. The<br />
cameras must be equipped with a 1/F contact switch (electronic<br />
flash PC socket), a pilotone generator, or be crystal-controlled.<br />
The list of sync cameras currently available from<br />
<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> (all of which are also compatible with our sync<br />
cassette recorders) is given below.<br />
Crystal controls are available for a number of these cameras<br />
from <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong>. Single-system cameras can also be used<br />
as location recorders, with transfers to <strong>Super</strong> 8 magnetic film<br />
made back in the laboratory.<br />

Transferring sync sound to <strong>Super</strong> 8 magnetic film requires a<br />
sync signal that provides frame rate information to the <strong>Super</strong>8<br />
<strong>Sound</strong> Recorder I. The Recorder servo-controls its speed so<br />
that one frame of magnetic film passes the recording head for<br />
each "frame" of the sync signal, whether a pilotone or digital<br />
1/F signal. Transfers can be made from professional sync<br />
recorders such as Nagra, Stellavox, Arrivox-Tandberg, and Uher<br />
Neo-Pilot, and from the new sync cassette recorders such as<br />
Philips 2209 AV, Uher CR134, and CR210, <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong>'s<br />
XSD Recorder and others.<br />
Transfers can also be made from the magnetic edge stripe of a<br />
single-system film by connecting the <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder<br />
to a projector with a 1/F contact switch. Professional sound<br />
labs can use the <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder in AC line sync with<br />
their other recorder/reproducers.<br />
<strong>Super</strong> 8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder I<br />
In the Dubbing Theater<br />
Since the <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder will run in perfect interlock<br />
with other <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorders, with <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong><br />
Sync Projectors, and even with the <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> DoubleBand<br />
Projector, the possibilities for dubbing and mixing are extensive.<br />
Filmmakers can listen to the original sync material,<br />
on headphones, while they prepare new material, over and<br />
over if necessary until perfect, on a second fullcoat mag<br />
fil m recorder.<br />
In the <strong>Sound</strong> Studio<br />
The <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder offers two basic approaches to<br />
multiple track sync recording. One is to use multiple fullcoat<br />
magnetic film recorders, all running in sync with the AC line<br />
frequency. Any number of <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorders can be<br />
interlocked this way. No sync rollback is possible.<br />
Another method is to transfer edited lip-sync material to one<br />
track of a four-channel quarter-inch tape. A pilotone sync signal<br />
from the <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder is also recorded as a<br />
control track. Now the same <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder can<br />
transfer a second fullcoat strand, with additional sync material,<br />
to a third track of the four-channel machine. The <strong>Super</strong>8<br />
<strong>Sound</strong> Recorder will maintain sync against the control track.<br />
The fourth track can be used for music, narration, etc. All<br />
three tracks can then be mixed down to make a composite<br />
master fullcoat track, again on the same <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder<br />
synced to the control track.<br />
In the Screening Room<br />
<strong>Sound</strong> on fullcoat magnetic film, from the first look at<br />
synced-up rushes to the final composite master sound track,<br />
can be run in double-system sync with any projector<br />
equipped with a 1/F contact switch. Projector and Recorder<br />
are started together using either a Common Start Box or the<br />
<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> PhotoStart. The PhotoStart reacts to a flash<br />
frame in the picture leader, and releases the <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong><br />
Recorder for precisely repeatable starts.<br />
Double-system interlock screenings with a sync rollback capability<br />
can be accomplished on the <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> DoubleBand<br />
Projector. The <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder will also synchronize<br />
with AC synchronous equipment such as the Kodak TVM100A<br />
telecine projector. The Kodak <strong>Video</strong>players can be supplied<br />
with a 1/F sync pulse for double-system video transfers.<br />
