v3001 Laser Soundtrack Illuminator for 35mm film projectors
Replaces the sound optics lens and gives superopr performance and Cyan, High Magenta and Black tracks - long live laser - NO LEDS to replace !

The v3001 is designed as a simple to install replacement for white light readers in 35mm projectors, to allow playback of Cyan Dye soundtrack films. It can also be used to upgrade first generation LED retrofit kits where greater reliability noise may be an issue. The unit performs well with all types of tracks, be they black, high magenta or cyan dye.

The unit consists of a high stability laser diode and internal optical components, housed in a standard package. It is intended to replace the sound optics lens in an existing projector, and a variety of adaptor sleeves are available to fit most machines. Alternatively, a bracket is available to allow fitting to ANY projector where a standard cylindrical lens is not used (for example Kalee, Ernemann).

Because of the highly focused light emitted from the laser, the unit works with the existing mono or stereo solar cell already fitted to the
projector, removing the need for a pre amplifier and increasing the gain of the system substantially.

SUPPLIED COMPLETE WITH POWER SUPPLY, CABLE AND A FULL INSTALLATION KIT

All units are supplied complete with a power supply, AC socket, screened cable and a variety of small components designed to make instal-lation quick and easy. Each kit also comes with a stick of fproj.com rock (candy !) for enjoyment once the installation is complete !Special note – Kalee, Ernemann and other projectors use a non standard sound optic path. For these machines we supply a generic bracket and recommend installing this direct to the projector chassis, discarding the existing exciter lamp housing. Some engineering work is required however excellent results can be achieved – please call us for details and guidance.

v4001 Laser Soundtrack Illuminator for telecine machines

This laser conversion is a bolt on replacement for the existing 35mm or 16mm lamphouse. It suits the C-Reality, URSA and MK3 telecines (simple lamp supply mod required for the Mk3). It incorporates a red laser assembly that produces a tightly focused, uniform and high brightness beam.

The baseplate and front clamp of the original Cintel lamphouse are retained to mount the laser. The existing position adjustment, formerly a pair of lock-nuts, are replaced by an easy to use knurled adjuster. There is a built in voltage regulator that means that you simply plug it in to the existing socket on the deckplate. The laser takes less than a hundredth of the current of the original lamp. Laser life is typically 50,000 hours.

The overall performance is consistently superb on both Cyan and conventional optical tracks: frequency response and phase are much improved due to the better defined beam. The as-sembly can be supplied as an exchange on an existing Cintel lamphouse base, pre-aligned so you can fit and forget.

Complete with regulator, plug, casing and install instructions.
