<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> 16mm System<br />
This is a <strong>Super</strong> 8 original system calculated to provide the filmmaker<br />
with the maximum quality 16mm print for medium-scale distribution.<br />
The DS8 camera was selected to provide maximum image stability,<br />
and because there is a wide selection of emulsions available in the<br />
DS8 format. This System has the option of shooting 16mm original<br />
for critical scenes (using a rented 16mm pilotone camera). The<br />
sound equipment is compatible with the standard 60Hz pilotone.<br />
Original 16mm footage should be integrated with the <strong>Super</strong> 8 blow-up<br />
at the interpositive stage, on 16mm editing equipment.<br />
Final edited sound can be transferred to quarter-inch pilotone on a<br />
rented Nagra, or directly to 16mm optical negative stock, using the<br />
<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Recorder in AC line sync. Conformed original should be<br />
blown to a 16mm internegative or interpositive on liquid-gate equipment<br />
like that at Colburn Labs in Chicago.<br />

<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Leacock System<br />
This System is a unit-for-unit replacement for the MIT/Leacock<br />
System, the original <strong>Super</strong> 8 double-system sync production system.<br />
It has certain extra capabilities that are presently available which<br />
Professor Leacock probably would have included if he were designing<br />
the system today. These include double-system video transfer<br />
capability using the modified Kodak <strong>Video</strong>player, and sync rollback<br />
during double-system screenings using the <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> DoubleBand<br />

<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> <strong>Video</strong>/Stereo System<br />
A major release format for <strong>Super</strong> 8 production is videotape, and<br />
any of the <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Systems can be a video production system<br />
si mply by adding a <strong>Video</strong> Unit. This System takes special advantage<br />
of the stereophonic sound capability of today's principal video<br />
format, the 3/4" U-Matic Cassette. Future video formats such as<br />
the videodisc are also likely to be stereophonic. It may therefore be<br />
worthwhile to record location sound, especially musical events,<br />
in stereo to anticipate future re-release of the production. The<br />
stereo location unit of course is entirely compatible with our<br />
non-stereo studio, editing and projection units.<br />
This System has a stereo sync location recorder, a stereophonic<br />
fullcoat recorder, and a stereo editing bench. Note that it is not<br />
technically possible to record stereo sound using two fullcoat<br />
recorders. To preserve the proper phase relationship, both stereo<br />
channels must be recorded on the same strand of fullcoat.<br />
