Editing Components
With the entry into the Super 8 field of the world's largest
and best-known editing equipment manufacturer, editing
bench components, particularly multi-gang synchronizers,
which were formerly in very short supply, have now become
stock items at Super8 Sound. We are pleased to announce the
availability of Magnasync/Moviola equipment for Super 8,
and the selection of Super8 Sound as a Magnasync/Moviola
dealer — the first Super 8 dealer.
The consequences of this for Super 8 are significant: greater
availability of Super 8 editing components, and reduction
of the synchronizers' price, since they are now being built
in quantity, instead of as special-order items.

We are hopeful that the continued strong interest of our
customers will convince Moviola of the need for Super 8
versions of their more sophisticated editing and sound
studio equipment. We look forward to offering you Super 8
versions of the 4-gang Moviola, Jr. and eventually the world-
renowned Moviola console flatbed editors.
Super 8 Synchronizers
The synchronizers we supply are built with the sprocket
teeth away from the operator, and with footage counters
that advance when film is moved from left to right. You
should be aware that pulling by hand in Super 8 to produce
intelligible sound quality at 24fps is quite a bit more diffi-
cult than in 16mm, where there are fewer frames per linear
foot and which therefore allows the fullcoat to be pulled
faster. We feel that motorizing a Super 8 sync block is es-
sential and all our synchronizers are supplied with a 2"
shaft extension for later motorization.

Sync Block Roller Outriggers
Super8 Sound's unique roller outriggers lift the film cleanly
away from the sprocket teeth so that it is not scratched, and
hold it in the guide rollers straight over the sprocket wheel.
Film can usually be lowered back into place with one hand,
instead of fumbling with two hands to pick it out of the
space next to the sprocket wheel. You must order these out-
riggers with the sync block, as they are custom-fitted to pro-
vide accurate alignment of all the rollers. You need one out-
rigger for each gang of the synchronizer.

Super8 Sound Sliding Magnetic Head
The Sliding Magnetic Head is mounted directly in line with
the editing bench viewer. It can be unlocked and moved to
advance or retard the sound relative to the picture by up
to twelve frames in either direction. This greatly simplifies
syncing up the rushes, especially in shots with no clapmark
where sync must be achieved by reading lips. The sliding
head can be moved back and forth to "tune in" the best
sync as one tunes in a radio station. Fitted with a miniphone
plug for connection to a squawk box or Super8 Sound Re-
corder.
