Description of Film Transport
Fig 35 Transport
The Film Transport (Fig 35) comprises continuous rotation feed & take-up back plates that can accept 2000ft of 35mm
film. The film is fed to an intermittent clapper type register pin gate by continuously rotating sprockets, with free loops
formed either side of the clapper gate. This mechanism minimises any transport tension on the film by avoiding
tensioned intermittent motion. The transport includes PTR cleaning rollers, a keycode reader, means to select A/B
wind of the back-plates and a removal gate mechanism.
Transport Safety Interlock
When the diTTo door is open remote control from the GUI is inhibited. Local controls remain active. This interlock
should only be overridden, when necessary, by qualified service personnel. On no account should diTTo be operated
with the interlock overridden due to the possible danger from the rotating mechanisms.
