E. S. Miller, R. A. Steelnack, R. S. Vukosic

The new Eastman 16mm Television Projector Model CT-500 has been designed for heavy-duty use with existing telecine systems and allows for compatability with foreseeable broadcast automation schemes. This professional-quality intermittent projector retains many of the design elements of its predecessors and incorporates the following new features: C-shaped threading channel with automatic gate-closing and loop-forming operations; high-speed slewing in forward or reverse; solid-state cuing system; and all control functions brought to individual terminal strips permitting remote control of any or all of the functions. Solid-state sound, halogen cycle projection lamp, reverse projection at 24 frames/s, automatic exciter-lamp changer, and control and readout of projection-lamp voltage are features that are new to Eastman projectors and are incorporated in the CT-500.
