Does anyone recognize the projection equipment seen in a CBS TV
movie promo? It is seen at 00:18.3 into the file starting with the splicer. What model & brand is the equipment? www.80stvthemes.com/ra/121999/transvideo/CBSMOVIE78.ra

I was always annoyed by that shot of the splicer since it looked like they were cutting something out of the movie (which they probably were anyway). Having all those colors fly into the words but the letters all turning out a boring orange color was pretty lame too.

That dull orange was everywhere on TV in the '70's.The image that I downloaded was clearer than the one that I saw in 1978 with my roof antenna!

I have a recording of "Oh God" shown on CBS in November 1979 with the commercial breaks and bumpers, but not the opening segment. Very bad transfer, but at least there's no onscreen logo!!

Hey There!Not to be "negative" about things 
but it appears that this equipment is part of a setup doing advance editing. The old "lights! camera! action!" comes to mind. (The shots of the lights and clapboard are followed by the wide angle camera lens, etc.)
The negative material is being spliced. Please note that the orange color may come from the color balancing layer in the negative film stock. The letters are about that hue as well.
The projector looks like one of the type (brand?) used in the editing theatre where the film can be advanced forward and backward, frame by frame and in sync with the audio dubbing readers.
In other words, I believe this sequence depicts the steps in shooting and preparing a film for release and ends with the audience viewing the ultimate result.
This feature was , obviously, not shot in digital video.
