Super8 Sound Cables
Pilotone Sync Camera Connectors
The sync output from pilotone cameras is a 60Hz continuous
sinusoidal wave (50Hz in Europe). It varies in voltage from
camera to camera — typically lying between .4V and 4V rms.
PI LB4, The Beaulieu pilotone generator for 4008 and 5008
PI LB5 cameras. These generators screw into the Beaulieu
cameras, and are fitted with BNC connectors
(see below).
TUC
The most widely used camera sync socket for
pilotone is a standard 5-pin Tuchel socket, e.g. Nizo
800P Professional, Arri S, Arri BL, Bolex.
XLR
Another common 16mm and 35mm camera
pilotone socket is a locking Cannon (XLR)
connector, e.g. Eclair NPR.
BNC
Beaulieu R16B, and the Super 8 Beaulieus use this
bayonet-type connector.
1/F Sync Recorder Connectors
Sync resolver cables connect the Super8 Sound Recorder to
a sync tape recorder, which has a prerecorded sync signal
on one channel. This signal can be either a continuous 60Hz
tone, or a once-per-frame digital pulse or burst. The Super8
Sound Recorder will match its speed to the sync signal
(
which is a record of the original camera speed) frame for
frame. This process of matching up sprocket holes of
magnetic film to correspond frame-for-frame to the pulses of
a sync track on magnetic tape is called "resolving".
The other track of the sync tape recorder contains the audio,
which is connected to the AUX input of the Super8 Sound
Recorder by an Audio Resolver Cable as described below.
The sync socket of the Super8 Sound Recorder is a 5-pin
1
80° DIN female with lock ring. Resolver cables for transfers
to the Super8 Sound Recorder are designated "RC", e.g.
RC2209 for the Philips 2209.
The sync output sockets of the most common sync tape
recorders are briefly summarized here.
SKP
The Super8 Sound Scipio uses a 6-pin DIN 240°
socket. Sync on pin 2, ground on pin 3.
2209
The Super8 Sound Philips 2209 also uses the 6-pin
DIN 240° socket, but sync is now on pin 6, ground
on pin 3.
U134
The Super8 Sound Uher CR134 (and the older
identical Uher 124) uses a 7-pin DIN socket of
which 5 pins are in the standard 180° DIN pattern.
Sync is on pin 3, ground on pin 2 (both standard).
Pilotone Sync Recorder Connectors
TUC
The most common type of sync socket on pilotone
recorders is a 6-pin Tuchel connector (240° pattern
si
milar to the 240° DIN).
RCA
The Super8 Sound XSD Recorder, and most stereo-
phonic quarter-inch tape recorders used for sync
work, use an RCA phono jack for sync output.
Sync Projector Connectors
Sync projectors have a 1/F switch closure. Super8 Sound
Projector Sync Modification Kits have a cable with a DIN
male plug connector (180° 5-pin) suitable for connection to
the sync socket of the Super8 Sound Recorder. Super8
Sound Sync Projectors supplied by Super8 Sound, and
PKITs installed by Super8 Sound, have a miniphone jack.
A DIN2MIN I sync cable is used to connect the Sync Projector
to the Super8 Sound Recorder. This cable is supplied with all
Super8 Sound Sync Projectors.
