Each Super8 Sound System has been designed to accomplish

a specific production or post-production function — TV

News, Film School Class, Lowest Cost, etc. — and to provide

guidance to those selecting a new system or completing an

existing one. Super8 Sound Systems also have a money-saving

aspect, since Super8 Sound has priced them at an additional

discount of five percent below our already low prices for

the individual items. Each System contains components

carefully chosen to complement one another at the given

price level and generally includes a minimum of four units:

Location Unit

with capability of filming and recording sync

sound — generally includes Super8 Sound Sync Camera, Sync

Recorder, Microphone, Monitor Headphones, Chestpod, and

all necessary cables. Optional equipment could include

additional Sync Cameras and Recorders, Wild Recorders,

Camera Silencers, Crystal Camera Control, Fishpole Boom

and Shock Mount, Tripods, Extension Cables, Carrying Cases,

Slate.

Studio Unit

with capability for sync transfers from location

sync tape to Super 8 fullcoat magnetic film. Optional Equalizer,

Mixer, Multi-track Recorder, additional Fullcoat Recorders,

Compressor/Expander, Dolby Unit, Microphone, and Micro-

phone Stand.

Editing Unit

with double-system capability for separately

cutting picture and mag film, including an Editing Bench or

Editing Table and Splicer. Optional Single-System Track

Reader, Displacement Recorder, Multiple Strand Editing

Equipment.

Projection Unit

with capability for double-system and

single-system screenings, including Super8 Sound Sync

Projector, PhotoStart and necessary cables. Used in conjunc-

tion with Studio Unit, the Projection Unit provides for

double-system transfers to and from mag stripe. Optional

DoubleBand Projector, Screen, Amplifier, Speaker(s),

Xenon Arc Projector.

There are many accessories for each of these units, and there

are a few production units that perform distinctly different

functions from the basic sync sound units above. These

include:

Video Unit,

e.g. Kodak Videoplayer, SONY Trinitron Monitor

or Receiver and Video Cassette Recorder. An alternative to the

Kodak Videoplayer would be a Super 3 Telecine Projector

in a video film chain.

Lighting Unit,

e.g. new quartz miniature broads, spots, tiny

"Tota-Lights", diffusers, gels, etc.

Titling/Optical Printing/Rephotography Unit,

e.g. an anima-

tion stand, a step printer with fades, dissolves, etc., a syn-

chronized projector and camera set-up to permit pans and

zooms on Super 8 original material.

Processing Unit,

e.g. the new fully automatic Kodak Super-

matic

8 Processor.

Special Function Units,

e.g. Crystal Sync Location Units,

Cinema Lab Transfer Units, Mixing Studio Units.

Each Super8 Sound System consists of components

selected for their suitability and complementarity at the

given price level. Nevertheless, a unit from one System is

always compatible and may be used with other units from

other Systems, since at every stage standard double-system

or single-system techniques are being employed.

planning

your own system, feel free to rearrange or substitute compon-

ent units and accessories to fit your particular needs. We

suggest you use the System Plan and Order Form that

accompanies this flyer (extra copies available on request).

This will simplify our price quotation procedure and facili-

tate our making critical comments on the system, if you wish

them. To get more information on particular system compon-

ents, send for the Super8 Sound Catalog and the Reference

Book Super 8, a 500-page compendium of all manufacturers'

technical literature on sync Super 8 equipment.
