Author Topic: Which Is Left Edward Jurich Master Film Handler Posts: 305 From: Las Vegas USA Registered: Jul 2003 posted 03-14-2004 10:34 PM                     I have a paper somewhere that shows this but I can't find it. So, does anyone know which optical track is the left channel. Is it the track close to the sprocket holes or the track close to the picture. I guessed it's the one close to the sprocket holes today.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Wilkinson Film Handler Posts: 17 From: Kincumber, NSW, Australia Registered: Oct 2002 posted 03-14-2004 10:48 PM                        Edge of the film (sprocket side of course) is the right channel and left closest to picture.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-15-2004 08:08 AM                     Look in a dolby processor manual under setup and it shows you about the audio tracks.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-15-2004 09:31 AM                        Also specified by standard SMPTE 203. Track 1 (left) is inboard towards the picture, Track 2 (right) is outboard, towards the perfs.  |  IP: Logged Edward Jurich Master Film Handler Posts: 305 From: Las Vegas USA Registered: Jul 2003 posted 03-15-2004 11:06 AM                     Oh sure, I guess wrong . I used to know that but went brain dead yesterday. At least it's the back-up machine, I'll reverse and set it up again tomorrow.  |  IP: Logged
