Logmar Camera Solutions IVS
Audio Format:
The camera supports two different audio formats that are user selectable:
1.
OGG VORBIS
2.
MPEG LAYER-3 (MP3)
Aspect ratio:
The camera is natively born with a MAX-8 gate, which is wider than a regular Super-8 gate and therefore
exposes much more of the film than a typical Super-8 camera as it can be seen on the illustration below:
Since normal projectors are not equipped with a MAX-8 gate they will only show the smaller SUPER-8
frame above even though the film has been fully exposed to MAX-8 and hence if you plan to project
your footage it’s important to know how much of the image you’ll be able to see.
For this exact reason, the menu has the option to choose either MAX-8 or SUPER-8.
When choosing MAX-8 the frame line in the LCD is shown as MAX-8 and when SUPER-8 is chosen the
smaller frame line is shown.
INFO
The optical film centre is aligned to fit the MAX-8 gate and
not
the SUPER-8 format.
The gate is fixed as MAX-8 regardless of the menu setting as this only changes the LCD
framing guide.
