Super8 Sound Systems
Special Function Units
Minimum Double-System Location Unit
With Projector
This Unit depends on a laboratory, school or rental house for
compatible sound-studio and editing equipment. The filmmaker
owns his own sync location rig and sound projector, the only items
he needs away from the film department or lab. He can film
year-round, and can show his films at any time.
Of course the same minimal double-system functions can be
achieved with other double-system sync cameras ranging up to
$1250 list price, and with other sync recorders ranging up to $378.

Super8 Sound Minimum Double-System Unit . . MDSUNIT
Semi-Editable Single-System Unit
This Unit is fully compatible with professional double-system
editing since sound can be transferred to fullcoat on the Super8 Sound
Recorder. See the Super8 Sound Single/Double-System for further
information.
This is the least expensive semi-editable Super 8 production system.
Sound must be edited simultaneously with picture (you can't insert
a cutaway while the sound continues). Sound is edited at a different
point than the picture because of the 18-frame advance (this causes
li
ps to flap with no sound, and sound with no corresponding picture).

Super8 Sound Crystal Sync Location Unit
The basic objective of crystal sync is to eliminate the sync cable
connection between cameraman and soundman. Beyond that, it is
the only way to have multiple cameras and recorders running in sync
with each other. Multiple cameras often are necessary to film a one-shot
unrepeatable performance, e.g. a concert, sporting event, or important
interview. Super8 Sound offers nine crystal sync cameras and five
crystal recorders. Those listed here are the least expensive.

Super8 Sound Mixing Studio Unit
This special purpose unit utilizes the 4-channel quarter-inch tape
recorder as an inexpensive multi-track recorder for sync film work.
It depends on the Super8 Sound Recorder's pilotone output and
its ability to synchronize itself to a pilotone signal on one of the
four tracks. Detailed instructions for preparing A, B, and C sync tracks
on quarter-inch tape and mixing back to a fullcoat composite master
track will be found in the Super8 Sound Recorder User's Manual,
