I have a Revere S-16 sound projector & is there a way to make a mount such as a temporary one for a Revere S-16?  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-23-2005 09:33 PM                       I don't think there are any 16mm DTS prints, Matthew.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 10-23-2005 09:36 PM                        http://www.dtsonline.com/cinema/specialvenues/ quote: Now you have an opportunity to match high-resolution 70mm images with high-resolution DTS Digital Sound. DTS is capable of playing back up to 10 channels of digital sound for 16mm, 35mm, and 70mm prints in 5 perf, 8 perf, and 15 perf...For more information on DTS Special Venue applications, visit our Web site at: www.dtsonline.com, or contact Walter Browski at (818) 706-3525, ext. 298.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-23-2005 10:51 PM                     DTS did make a 16mm reader I beleive at one time but currently they make a preamp that uses the regular cell and switches between optical sound and time code output It has been used on several festivals  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-23-2005 11:30 PM                     If the 16mm projector has a 600-ohm output (such as higher-end Eiki and Elmo xenon portables, most pedestal xenon models, and Eiki SSL and SNT models), the output would be fed to pins 1 (TC hot) and 6 (TC ground) of the reader input on the DTS decoder. Feeding a speaker output from a projector, especially an old one with a vacuum-tube amplifier, would be risky to say the least. This thread has more information on 16mm DTS, an intriguing concept if it wasn't for the two minor details of almost nonexistent prints and the near death of 16mm as an exhibition format.  |  IP: Logged
