![](pics/arisia/arisia01.jpg) Berkely and Clarendon ballrooms at the Park Plaza hotel with temporary seating and non-perf fast-fold screen. Speaker is located below the screen. There was no masking.
![](pics/arisia/arisia02.jpg) We used a pair of Spanish-made portable 35mm machines. These used 1000w tungsten bulbs; surprisingly, the picture filled the width of the screen for scope and was fairly bright. The built-in changeover system works by simply turning off one bulb while turning on the other; this got "interesting" with prints that had clear leaders immediately before or after the picture. The picture was super-sharp with ISCO Ultra-Star lenses for all formats.

![](pics/arisia/arisia05.jpg) Rewind bench, splicer, and reel cabinet. We ran about seven different features films over three days, plus shorts.
![](pics/arisia/arisia06.jpg) MARC 300 16mm machine for shorts and sound "rack" with Altec mixer/amp and CD player. Sound quality for 35mm was passable, but lacked high-frequency detail.
