test films are available.
Azimuth Test Film (50 ft.), Flutter Test Film (50 ft.), Signal
Level Test Film (50 ft.), Multifrequency Test Film (50 ft.),
and Projector Registration Test Film (50 or 100 ft.).

ciate it if you mention the Super8 Sound Catalog as your

Super8 Sound Studio Services
Super8 Sound has a limited number of studio services for
fil
mmakers working in Super 8. Equalized transfers to Super
8 fullcoat (resolving) from cassette sync tapes; Multiple sync
track mixes to composite master fullcoat track; and master-
track to release-print magnetic edge stripe transfers. Use of
original single-system films for transfer of sound to fullcoat
magnetic film is only at the customer's risk, and customers
should retain a safe copy of all materials sent to Super8
Sound. The intention of these services is to expand the capa-
bility of filmmakers who are already working in double-sys-
tem Super 8, and who own or have access to fullcoat editing
equipment. Send for a listing of Super8 Sound Studio Ser-
vices, and see the Video section of the Super8 Sound Cata-
log for Super 8 Video Transfer Services.
