Experience cinema at home with our cutting-edge film projectors!
(Well they were 50 years ago.)
We Often Have Others, Feel Free To Ask.
We capture the pictures on our film scanner, but lifting audio off 8mm films can be quite tricky. We have several options, including using Heurtier sound projectors. The audio files are then synced up with the picture.
These projectors have survived well. The film transport mechanism remains solid, and the film speed across the audio heads is very steady. Considering the limitations of the recordings, which are now 50 years old or older, the quality we can achieve is surprisingly good.
Film Formats: Super 8 / Single 8, and Standard 8mm (all feature interchangeable transport wheels and film tracks).
Lens: Typically equipped with a Som Berthiot f/1.3 17-28mm zoom lens.
Lamp: 100W, 12V FCR halogen lamp.
Reel Capacity: Up to 400 feet (120 meters).
Projection Speeds: Forward, reverse, still projection, and variable speeds (including 6, 18, and 24 frames per second).
Loading: Automatic film threading.
Weight & Size: Weighs roughly 7kg (14kg with the full sound base unit).

Finding 8mm Sound Projectors that work well, don’t chew up the film and provide decent audio is not easy, and this perhaps is another reason to digitise film. Although a premium brand half a century ago, unfortunately, many very old 8mm Eumig projectors now cannot run at a steady speed. Multi-standard projectors sound good in theory but will often make the damaged film worse, particularly if they only move the film with a claw mechanism.
Collection is preferred, but delivery is available at an additional cost.
