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.
