Author Topic: Tips on screening rooms Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-08-2007 09:53 AM                     remember that that Devry is currently set up for incadescent light source and all 35mm prints are timed for 5400K xenon so your dailies will have colour issues  |  IP: Logged Larry Myers Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: Herndon, VA, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 12-08-2007 02:03 PM                 For once I agree with Brad Miller that Devry your looking at is Junk. Actually, most Devrys I see are junk because they were used and abused machines. I have several factory refurbished units with more or less zero time. They actually look new at 1 ft away. These work very well with good modern lenses. They work as well as any Super Simplex unit since the Devry uses the same intermittent. It's the intermittent that presents the film image to the screen. I have one for sale. I believe it's sold but the deal has not gone through yet because of a long string of bad weather in Upstate NY. You might want to contact me in case the deal falls apart. Although shipping from the East Coast might be expensive.  |  IP: Logged Steve Beverly Film Handler Posts: 83 From: El Paso, Tx., Registered: Nov 2007 posted 12-08-2007 10:51 PM                     I'm very interested. I have a pretty good company I use for shipping. I'm assuming of course it has a xenon light source, modern sound reader and is in my price range.  |  IP: Logged Steve Beverly Film Handler Posts: 83 From: El Paso, Tx., Registered: Nov 2007 posted 12-10-2007 02:42 PM                     Thanks for the information on the dubbers, Gordon and Mark, so given what I have, what is the best way to go and how do I set up my sylsens interlock? (again, I know virtually nothing about projection and am just now learning) The sylsens came with the Magna-sync reproducers, so I know it works with them, but how and where does it hook up to a projector and what problems am I going to have to deal with? Thanks-Steve  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-10-2007 05:18 PM                     The Selsyn systems often used on dubbers was based on a master motor generator sync set driving the projector and dubbers  |  IP: Logged
