Proposal for a 16mm/8mm Nontheatrical Leader
A new type of leader is proposed for use in nontheatrical showings. It is compared to the Academy Leader and to the SMPTE Standard Leader, both of which are designed for professional use in 35mm and television. It is demonstrably advantageous to provide a suitable focus leader with sufficient black leader to permit shutdown after focus and then energizing the projector for the actual showing without encountering wow or flutter as the sound system stabilizes. Compatibility with standard SMPTE leaders is generally maintained.
