Re: [Frameworks] projecting 16mm at 16 fps

[Scott Dorsey]

Well, the king of the pack is the Kinoton machine, which is designed exactly
for this sort of job.

Some of the Eiki xenon projectors can run at 16 fps by moving a drive belt
from one position to another, and the details are in the manuals if your 
Eiki can do it.  I am pretty sure the EX-6100 will do it, though I don't know
about the EX-9100.

http://www.cardinalsound can probably rent you a Kinoton, though I don't
have any idea what it will cost.

Hi Andy on many Eiki Projectors you can loosen the screw that holds the
cover to the main body. Inside you will see a rebber belt and a roller with
two sizes, small and large. Adjust the belt to the other roller. It will
change the speed,  however, it is debatable which speed it is . Some say
16pfs some say 18fps. I do not recall it changing the density of the bulb,
however, that could present another problem such as slight burning in the
center.

 Does anyone have advice for finding reliable and bright 16mm projectors
 that run at 16 fps? This is for a potential screening of Warhol's Empire. I
 have shown Warhol's other silents at 18 fps (using the common model Kodak
 Pageant). But i need 16 fps in order to maintain Empire's correct running
 time of eight hours.

 I seem to recall an earlier Frameworks discussion on modifying Eiki
 projector speeds by adjusting a belt, but cannot locate that thread in a
 search. Any advice appreciated.
