Author Topic: What's up with prints from India?? Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 07-23-2008 01:01 PM                        The ones I'm recalling are Smart 2B, though I think the 2C also has it, or did they remove that in place of a digital button?  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 07-23-2008 02:24 PM                     He wasn't saying "Smart removed that feature." He was asking "What is this 'Gen'?" thing because he'd never heard of it. And he asked if you were using SMART because other non-SMART processors don't have a 'Gen' button. I, too, have no clue what 'Gen' would refer to, having not used SMART processors.  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 07-23-2008 03:25 PM                        I beleive on the Smart Mod 2B, it's labeled Gen by the format button itself, but on the Mod 2C, it's labeled as 3D. Check the manual http://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/wareview.php?id=706&category=2 3D-Mono provides a "realistic" 2 channel sound from a mono source. I put realistic in quotes because that's what the manual says, realistic. I'm still unsure how you get 2 channels from one, maybe splitting the sound and equalizing each new channel slightly differently so different sounds are more present on one side than the other? That's pretty much what I did to emulate stereo with those old 78's I had.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-23-2008 03:41 PM                        Wow. It's really hard for me to miss SMART. That's something you'd find in a very cheap home-theater-in-a-box. the cheaper they get, the more useless gimmicks like that they have.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-23-2008 08:27 PM                     Stereo Synthesis usually works by comb filtering the audio spectrum and using level theshold detectors It can be very effective on some prints The best synth weas the Kintek KT 30 system  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 07-23-2008 09:27 PM                        I didn't say it was perfect. ::Shrugs:: Just was a thought.  |  IP: Logged Geena Phillips Expert Film Handler Posts: 198 From: Norcross, GA / USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 07-24-2008 10:16 AM                        At this point, my Number One issue with regular mainstream Bollywood prints is the delivery times. I'm hoping that, with Adlabs making a big push in the U.S., they'll decide to open a lab facility here, which will make things go a lot smoother.  |  IP: Logged
