Notice this mechanical
change to available printers:
Crank and worm-gear assembly that is shown in the
picture is not available.
The projector is supplied with 360 degree rotating mount.
that is graduated to 100 increments. Projector rotation is indented for
horizontal image correction but can be used for special effects also.
The function of rotating gear system is accomplished by the manual operation.
Incremental rotation is controlled by manual adjustment
and knob locking screws.

Quartz Halogen Light Improved condenser system covers up to 35mm. slide size image. This 300 watt 110VAC. light source delivers enough light to illuminate a small 8mm. frame to be blown up to 35mm. camera frame. Condenser system focus the collimated light beam to cove up to vistavision (slide) frame. Use a Opal glass or Ground glass diffuser to reduce contrast. A Light dimmer and Volt meter helps to set light out-put and make fade effects. Add US$ 395.00 |

Add your Bolex
camera to Printer set-up. For 16mm. format a Bolex H16 Rex4 or Rex5 are most commonly used with JK Optical Printers. Early versions like Rex 2 and 3 can be used but requires a 1 to 1 drive shaft installation. |

DESCRIPTION
ALL
CAMERA AND PROJECTOR OPERATIONS: ADVANCEMENTS, EXPOSURES AND
SEQUENCING ARE CONTROLLED BY A COMPACT, PROGRAMMABLE SEQUENCE
CONTROL BOX, MAKING PRINTER OPERATION SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT.
Mechanical movements,
including focus, reduction and enlargement ratios, are achieved by
hand adjustment. Image magnification is determined by the extension of the
bellows and relative
position of lens and camera.
With a 75 mm lens, ratios of 1:4 trough 4:1 are
possible, providing a range for optical zoom,
pan, cropping, split screen effects, and format reduction or enlargement. Focus
is done through
either the camera viewfinder, or, when the camera is unloaded, by observing the
camera gate
through a 90-degree prism.
The lens and camera are tracked and located by
fine-pitch lead screws, using graduated
hand wheels. Exposure is controlled by the iris, filters and programmable
exposure time control.
Fades and dissolves are accomplished by using the combination of variable
shutter, iris and
light dimmer or a combination of ND filters. Colors are corrected by color
printing filters.
Synchronized printing speed is 40
frames-per-minute. Camera rewind speed is 120 frames
per-minute. K107 is designed for Bolex H16 Rex 4 & 5 cameras. Custom
build model K107MC is
designed for Heavy Cameras such as Mitchell 35 used for
35mm. film format.
Projector printing modules (film gates)
are interchangeable for 8mm., Super 8, 16 mm and 35mm.
film size. All film gates are provided with the fixed pin registration. The
projector is easily removed
for custom installations such as roto-scoping, rear-screen or aerial-image
projection.
