Josh, just keep up your dreams and ambitions. From time to time, the "wheel" has to be not only re-invented, but modified. ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/smile.gif) Remember in 1900, some idiot said, "All that can be invented or made better has already been done". HAH!!!! Now we have automatic toilet flushers in the theaters that "inspect" the user as he or she gets up off the seat. Then the toilet flushes. Electronics might be getting too personal... We have two such devices in our new tri-plex, and already, some lady was complaining about one of those devices. (I am not kidding) Paul

Randy, when I was in Japan in 1962, the natives simply "watered" the side of a building, or used a Binjo Ditch. (spelling may be wrong.)Seen it! But didn't do it. I have heard of some of our young sailors getting drunk on their butt and falling face first into those ditches. Not the most tastiest thing to think about. Also, that tiny button may have been a frog. (kinda like stepping on a plumb that goes "Pbpthbpthbthp!") Paul

John said: "I don't see why an IR LED wouldn't work."A red LED would be a better choice. Film dyes are relatively transparent to infrared energy, and the DTS timecode track is at the edge of the area that is now "applicated" in the lab to redevelop silver in the analog soundtrack. When cyan dye analog soundtracks are implemented, there will be no silver to modulate infrared light, and a red LED will be required.

John Anastasio, I think Josh can probably make that work.John Pytlak, Yes, red LED's are the way to go for the reasons you cited. ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/smile.gif) Paul Mayer - thanks for the info on Benjo Ditches. All I wanted to know in one neat little paragraph. ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/smile.gif) Paul
