Or you could just put a big-ass infrared emitter behind the screen.
Do you folks not have hearing assistance systems that are IR based? That big-ass emitter would probably kill the audio feed stone dead.

Pardon me for asking what may seem like a stupid question, but why could you not use one of these filters with a white exciter lamp to play cyan track films, assuming you could find a way to mount it?

I recall that Kinoton had a tungsten-halogen reader retrofit that used a dichroic IR blocking filter. The issue is getting enough red light from a tungsten lamp to get good S/N. You also want to filter out the green and blue light if you are trying to read a cyan track. Fading of the filters can also be an issue.

That is why high output red LEDs were the chief enabler of cyan dye tracks.
