Improved Edgeprint Format for

KODAK 65mm Film

Interval between main Keykode numbers increased from 80- to 120-perforations

Two intermediate Keykode numbers offset 40- and 80- perforations from the main Keykode number

An aid in matching short scenes which may not include the main key number.

Larger (full-size) human-readable intermediate key numbers

Easier to read on original and intermediate films. More legible on 35mm printdown workprint. Along with +40 and +80 perf designators, the two alpha-characters preceding the key number are half size to further indicate these are intermediate key numbers.

Frame-reference marker (key) added for 8-perf format

A new reference symbol for quickly locating the frame lines of dark scenes shot in the 8-perf format. (An addition to the dash and plus symbols currently used to reference frame lines on 5-, 10- and 15- perf formats.)

New manufacturer identification code-22

Allows readers and software to automatically recognize the new edgeprint format and accurately record Kodak Keykode numbers from the new and previous formats, even when intercut. Note: The identification code was 02 for the previous 65mm format.

New printer number sequence -91 and -92

Printer numbers (first two digits of the key number) are 91 or

92.Printer numbers for previous Kodak 65mm films were 01 or 02. On a negative cut list, the different numbers quickly identify the edgeprint format of the film.
