Super8 Sound Sync Projectors
Super8 Sound Sync Eumig Projectors
The Eumig line of Super 8 Sound projectors are the most
widely used in the United States, primarily because they are
the lowest-priced adequate sound-recording and repro-
ducing Super 8 projectors. They have an inching knob and a
dimly visible still frame on the preheat lamp position.
Autothreading. Automatic gain control only. No VU meter.
They have a significant 60Hz hum on playback (you must
learn to adjust the hum-bucking coil) and it is essential to
have an equalizer with a 60 Hz cut. They handle fullcoat well,
but are unforgiving if improperly loaded and occasionally
chew up polyester-base films. Supplied by Super8 Sound
with a 1/F sync contact switch installed.

Super8 Sound Sync Bolex Projectors
The Bolex SM8 is a very sturdily built projector. It is reliable
with well-cemented acetate base splices. VU recording meter.
Manual gain control. Autothreading. It cannot handle fullcoat
or polyester-base Single 8 films; it often buckles at a tape
splice and chews up the film in the top sprocket. No inching
knob. No still frame.
The Bolex SP8, SP80, and SM80 are built for Bolex by Eumig
and are mechanically similar to the Eumig projectors — inch-
ing knob, dim still frame, 60Hz hum, and no VU meter
(
LED's are used for record level). They have manual gain con-
trol as well as automatic gain control. Supplied by Super8
Sound with 1/F sync contact switch. See the projector data
table for further details.

Super8 Sound Sync Kodak Supermatic 70
This is Kodak's compromise between a conventional projec-
tor and a continuous-loop cartridge projector. It accepts film
in Kodak Supermatic cassettes, and projects them onto either
a built-in Ektalite screen or a standard wall screen using just
one lens. It has high speed automatic rewind through the
gate, and is ready to restart moments after showing the film.
Still frame. Auto/manual gain control. VU meter. The same
cassette fits the Kodak Videoplayer VP-1 or VP-X. Supplied
by Super8 Sound with 1/F sync contact switch installed.

Continuous-Loop Super 8 Projectors
These cartridge projectors are highly portable rear-screen pro-
jectors (some with optional front screen), usually packaged
in an attache case. Console versions are also available. They
allow Super 8 sound films to be shown in a normally-lit
office, plant, or exhibit. They are widely used by salesmen
to make a specific point that is best made by a short single-
concept film. They are much less expensive and more porta-
ble than color videotape recorders/monitors that are also
widely used to accomplish the same thing.
A large fraction of all Super 8 release prints made are pre-
sented in this cartridge format. In the past such films were
produced in 16mm and reduction printed for Super 8 release.
Today many Super 8 cartridge films are produced on Super
8 original stock, with a cost saving of between 50 to 70% on
the stock cost, and a saving of 80% on the production and
post-production equipment costs, compared to 16mm pro-
duction.
Super8 Sound can supply the well-known Technicolor and
Fairchild cartridge projectors for producers whose clients al-
ready have such equipment, but we recommend that a new
installation be equipped with the remarkable MPO Video-
tronic Compact Super 8 projector.
We have found the Videotronic to be quieter, with better
sound and a brighter, larger picture (the 21V/150W bulb is
the strongest used in any Super 8 projector), and all this in a
lighter and smaller package than its two major competitors.
Super8 Sound can supply sync versions of any MPO Video-
tronic recording projector on special order, and we also have
quantity discount prices on the Videotronic for the producer
who wants to supply a large number of projectors with his
release prints, or for an in-house film group that wants to
project film simultaneously in a number of places. We also
have a special rental program for testing acceptability of a
fil
m in the rear-screen presentation method. Send for details
on Super8 Sound's Videotronic Program.
