I've been showing films for fifty years, but never seen a double band projector. Exiting ! Less exiting to watch You run so much film onto the floor... Never seen that either, and thanks for that !

Really interesting stuff. Back in the sixties l was the assistant manager of the Southend ABC CINEMA. I used to spend a lot of time in the projection room. When l left l worked in large advertising agency in London in the preview theatre’s and recording studio. Had to learn to lace up the projectors very quickly when the client was there often double head 35mm film. The projectors then were using arc lamps they also had B&W video cameras attached for early video CCTV and recording to video on Sony reel to reel recorders B&W only.

That was interesting. i've never seen a 16mm setup like that with the separate mag film and reader. how many tracks does that give you? I run a small home cinema as well. Nice setup you have going on there. greetings from ontario canada

Greetings to you in Canada ! 16mm 'sep-mag' was a common set up in British TV studios and preview theatres. Our machine is single track mono, but there were two track / stereo with Dolby around too.

That’s a art form putting on the films on

@slashmaster2 8 месяцев назад

The projectors suffer some light loss going through those windows. Wonder how well it would work out to have a black rubber cone go from where window would be to the lens? I've seen something like that at IMAX theaters.

@johnsalim7981 8 месяцев назад

There is a little light loss of course, but light-level readings are taken in the auditorium off the screen and adjusted for the recommended 16 foot lamberts luminance.

@slashmaster2 8 месяцев назад

@@johnsalim7981 Nice to know there is power to spare. How much brighter can those projectors get?

@johnsalim7981 8 месяцев назад

In our situation we could get about one f stop more light.

4:15 what's this magnetic tape use for?

@bagnome Год назад

It's the soundtrack. I've not seen a setup like this before, but it appears that the projector allows for the soundtrack to be played on a separate magnetic tape. Since it's a part of the projector, it will stay in sync. The sound quality will be a lot better on the tape than what is on the film. Allowing for stereo or even surround sound. Since it appears to be a 16mm one and the optical soundtrack on 16mm film is almost always mono. Other older cinema, including IMAX sometimes used 35mm magnetic tape for movie soundtracks as well.
