Pro8mm, the company formerly known as Super8Sound™ takes their
40-year legacy as inventors of sync sound for Super 8 by launching an audio
encoding system specifically for Small Format Film. While we have offered sync
sound masters for Super 8 and 16mm from
fullcoat for many years, our new system is designed specifically for
single system film with audio stripe.
This upgrade of our audio system allows us to scan directly to our state-of-the
art Millennium II 2K Scanner with audio and picture in sync. The system can
handle all types of sound tracks used in small format film, including Super 8
main magnetic track, Super 8 stereo main and balance track, Regular 8 main
track, 16mm with magnetic track, and 16mm with optical audio track.
Of special interest is our capability to handle audio for regular 8,
a specialty that is both unique and rare. Millions of feet of audio stripe are eliminated
from archives and private home movie collections because most facilities do not
have the capacity to transfer it, and in many cases, can’t recognize that the sound stripe on the film exists.
Our experienced team members are trained to be able to quickly identify if there is sound on your film
and what type it is.
Throughout the history of filmmaking, sound in many forms has been
used in conjunction with small gauge film. Sound has been recorded on film
either using magnetic or optical systems, and has had many challenges from
fidelity
issues to holding sync with picture. Part of the Super8 Sound™ legacy
is having been the company to invent a fullcoat recorder and double system
filmmaking
so that audio for super 8 film could be done the same way it was
done in larger formats. We
continue this legacy today by giving you the opportunity to create a
magnificent new digital master of your film and sound in perfect sync with high
quality audio. For more information on our history, go to http://www.pro8mm.com/story.php
Pro8mm will have a base set-up charge for the new system of scanning
film with audio.
