The Arriflex 16S/B-GS
[With 60-Cycle Generator and
Automatic Startmarker]
The 16S /B-GS is a special model of
the basic Arrilflex 16 S/B. It is factory
equipped with a 60-cycle generator, an
automatic startmarker and a manually
operated cue marker, designed to
work with all ¼” tape recorders
equipped with the pilotone system.
The 60-Cycle Signal Generator
A miniature generator is built into the
camera. When the camera runs at 24
fps, the generator ooutput is a 60-cycle
signal of approximately 1.2 volts. This
signal is the heart of all Piloton
synchronizing systems. The output
appears across pins 1 and 2 of the
camera’s 5-pin Tuchel outlet, after a
300 milli-second delay. Sync cables
are used to carry this signal to the tape
recorder. (See price list for various
types).
Automatic Clapstick
The 16 S/B-GS has an automatic startmarker capable of putting start-
marks on the film and on the tape, automatically, each time the camera is
started.
