35mm soundtracks

Trying out a newly-acquired secondhand Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens.

 

Shown here is the quartet of 35mm motion picture film soundtracks. From left to right, part of a Sony SDDS soundtrack, one Dolby Digital block, a Dolby SR stereo analog track, and DTS time code. The SDDS track (cyan) takes up both outboard and inboard edges of the film; a proprietary CD with the digital soundtrack is synchronized to the DTS time code (blue).

 

Of course, with the invasion of digital cinema, all this is becoming a thing of the past.
