6.0 OPERATION MANUAL STEENBECK ST3512 – ST3514 – ST3516
6.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Th ‘NEW LINE’ STEENBECK is a high quality film vi wing and controlling
tabl for motion pictur and p rforat d magn tic sound film and sp cifically
d sign d for film archiv s and film laboratori s.
Th most important goal of this n w d sign is to vi w and transport fragil film
and sound mat rial in th b st possibl way with a minimal amount of physical
w ar.
With th s tabl s films can b ch ck d for any kind of d gr of scratch s,
fading of colour and optical or magn tic sound.
Th driv and sound syst m is proc ssor controll d.
Th s proc ssors can b align d for us rs’ sp cification.
Wh n th film br aks or at th nd of th film th tabl will stop automatically
as it’s d t ct d by s nsors.
Th film plat s of th dis ngag d MAG tracks (ST3514-ST3516 only) will also
stop turning.
Standard Bi-phas 50 Hz output for synchronising (mast r only)
An optional foot p dal is availabl .
Pictur r production is don via an optical comp nsation syst m with an
highly rat d 18 fac r volving prism.
Two r volving sprock ts nsur of an accurat transport, a smooth and car ful
film transport and an xc ll nt pictur st adin ss.
A third sprock t is for th COMOPT sound r production.
All thr sprock ts can b r plac d by sp cial sprock ts for shrunk n film
within a minut . Th r ar two kits availabl .
Th lighting syst m is quipp d with a 12V – 100W halog n lamp.
Th proj ction lamp and th cond ns r syst m with h at filt r ar fitt d in a
quickly r movabl syst m nabling v ry asy r plac m nt of brok n lamps.
Light is automatically r duc d wh n th film transport is stopp d, which allows
vi wing of th film fram for an unlimit d tim without causing any damag .
Th proj ction syst m is fitt d with highly polish d front surfac coat d
mirrors. A hard ov r coating nsur s long lif with constant pictur quality.
Th sp cial clos grain d scr n is of a sp cial plastic to nsur maximum
vi w quality within a vi wing angl of approximat ly 70º.

V4E-2013 35mm Ne Line

Sound syst m can b controll d by th touch scr n (TS).
Ev ry pr -amplifi r for optical and / of magn tic sound can b s l ct d by th
touch scr n m nu. Fad rs for volum , tr bl , bass and balanc ar availabl .
Each pr amplifi r has two chann ls / st r o, can b s t in mono and mut .
Th mix of th pr -amplifi rs is availabl on th balanc d XLR +4dB outputs.
An xtra RCA -10dB input is availabl for mixing or monitoring an xt rnal
analogu audio sourc .
Th summing amplifi r is fitt d with th mast r volum control for audio
including tr bl , bass and balanc of this signal.
A high quality pow r amplifi r with 40 W output and 2 way compact
loudsp ak rs guarant s an xc ll nt sound r production.
R production of 4-chann l COMMAG films and s parat (SEPOPT) 35mm
sound film or sound n gativ s is also possibl as an option.
Audio playback is automatically mut d wh n th tabl runs mor than 30 f.p.s..
Th St nb ck Univ rsal count r is standard quipm nt.
This count r for all formats m asur s all film l ngth, laps d tim and fram s
and is abl to conv rt v ry count imm diat ly into anoth r count.
Within th univ rsal count r display is also monitor d:
- th xacts running sp d of th film.
- m asur m nt of th MAG 1 sound track, by switching.
- Vario sp d is activ .
- th s l ct d synchronous sp d.
- th pictur -sound shift advanc / r tard fram s
( for ST3514-ST3516 only).
Th univ rsal count r syst m is op rat d mainly from th touch scr n m nu
which also has a film format calculator and transf r counts to a cu ing syst m.
Th advanc and r tard syst m for sound tap (only on MAG 1 of ST3514 and
ST3516) can b op rat d at all sp ds by a diff r ntial g ar.
By using th advanc and r tard switch th sync mod can b match d to
within on t th of a fram or aft r switching ov r in singl fram in ith r
dir ction to th pictur . This nabl s in a short tim xact p rforation
synchronisation.
Th touch scr n is th op ration c ntr of th ‘N w Lin ’ St nb ck.
This touch scr n giv s th op rator of th tabl som int r sting tools:
- light m nu for l v lling working lamp for standard light as w ll as LED light.
- calculator m nu to calculat and transf r counts, op ration of univ rsal
count r.
- cu m nu: r turn z ro syst m and 5 cu point ar availabl .
- count 1 and 2 m nu.
- sound m nu.
- s nsor m nu.
- laps d tim count r for maint nanc .
All pr c ding it ms ar xplain d in s ction 6.3 and 6.4.
