I'm just concerned with 6-track mag prints. These 70mm prints are my main concern, oh and we are running a loaded Cp200 Lawrence of Arabia 1989 version, format 41? Spartacus 1991 version, format 41? Untouchables, 1987, format 42? Star Trek 6: Undiscovered Country, 1991, format 43 w/SS Baraka, 1992 print, format 43 w/SS? Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, 1968 print, format 40? plus these short Canadian films: format 40 for all ? A place to Stand, 1967 Multiple Man, 1968 Where the North Begins, 1971 Festival, 1971 Seasons in the mind, 1971 an 70mm trailers? The Fly 1986, Frantic 1988 Any help would be great! Thanks, paul Oh this is regarding a 70mm film festival happening Sept. 24-26th in Gatineau, Quebec (near Ottawa) http://in70mm.com/news/2010/canada/index.htm  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-31-2010 12:44 PM                     Lawrence of Arabia 1989 version, format 42 with SR cards installed if it is the toronto stored print (tones and noise use sparticus) Spartacus 1991 version, format 42 Untouchables, 1987, format 42 Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, 1968 print, format 40 (depending on the noise level you may want to roll off the highs or put the 22 into cleaner mode) all of these are format 40 A place to Stand, 1967 Multiple Man, 1968 Where the North Begins, 1971 Festival, 1971 Seasons in the mind, 1971  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 08-31-2010 12:59 PM                        Thanks Gordon, That clears things up... an yes it is the T.O. print of LOA  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-31-2010 09:51 PM                     I don't recall on Spartacus but Lawrence in its "restored" form was format 43 (stereo surround). I think the Spartacus restoration also went with format 43. Note, format 43 prints are backwards compatible with format 42.

Spartacus 1991 version, format 42 quote: Steve Guttag Lawrence in its "restored" form was format 43 (stereo surround). I think the Spartacus restoration also went with format 43. Here's my two cents... Several sources, including Dolby's records and correspondence with restoration producer Robert Harris, indicate the '89* "Lawrence" and '91 "Spartacus" were Format 42. (Harris' '94 restoration of "My Fair Lady" was Format 43.) * There was a digital remix done for the 2002 re-issue, so those prints might be Format 43.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 09-16-2010 06:28 PM                        I think will go with Format 42 as Robert Harris is attending the festival.  |  IP: Logged Lionel Fouillen Expert Film Handler Posts: 230 From: Belgium Registered: Nov 2002 posted 09-18-2010 07:01 AM                     One question here. How did they achieve Dolby SR playback for magnetic Dolby Stereo on 70mm? Did they replace the cat. 22 cards with 280T or 350T in the CP200 or were the required SR cards added into the Accessory Unit? Thanks  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-18-2010 10:38 AM                     You pull the cat. 22's and replace them with cat. 280T's in the CP-200.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-18-2010 01:15 PM                     Yes, normally the Cat 22s are replaced with Cat 280Ts...However, it is possible to use 363 frames (and I've done it with Panastereo's SR35s too) to offer SR automatically when the appropriate format is dialed up. Steve  |  IP: Logged Lionel Fouillen Expert Film Handler Posts: 230 From: Belgium Registered: Nov 2002 posted 09-18-2010 02:00 PM                     Bill and Steve, thanks for your replies. Steve, as far as I know, the 363 contains two cat. 300 cards, with the possibility to switch to A, SR or bypass noise reduction. How did you use them? Three of them and all kinds of 35mm/70mm prints entirely processed through them, or really just for 70mm SR? Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

With the CP200, there are always multiple ways and is installer's preference. When I did the Library of Congress with Pana SR35s, they were SR only so I have them between the MPU and the Control unit...when non-SR films are played, they are bypassed. They only activate on SR movies. Steve  |  IP: Logged
