Photographic Sound for 8mm Film

John A. Maurer

Photographic soundtracks for 8mm motion pictures offer a major advantage in cost as compared with magnetic tracks in all applications that require large numbers of release prints. Contrary to the general belief, photographic soundtracks can give at least as good quality as magnetic sound stripes. A demonstration system using a Kodak 8mm Magnetic Sound Projector modified to reproduce photographic tracks is described, and performance data are given.
