film gate

Then I peeked through the film gate with the shutter open.

There are three different commonly accepted ways to check a film gate for hairs.

The film gate can be seen by removing the lens and rotating the shutter out of the way.

A true Quadra had a new capstan position closer to the film gate and with a blue color deck.

A positive curvature lens concentrates the reflected and direct light toward the film gate.

The projector is modified to accommodate several fire extinguishers with nozzles aimed at the film gate.

The film gate is the rectangular opening in the front of a motion picture camera where the film is exposed to light.

It should also be noted that hard mattes for all common ratios exist and either replace the film gate itself or are inserted within it.

This has the appropriate markings in the viewfinder and the film gate was machined and polished to professional standards.

Rotary discs are semicircular mirrors that rotate in front of the film gate, and thus expose the film.

Sapphire inserts in the film gate (all other models had steel ball bearings as inserts.)

In cinematography, full frame refers to the use of the full film gate at maximum width and height for 35 mm film cameras.

Super 16 cameras are usually 16 mm cameras which have had the film gate and ground glass in the viewfinder modified for the wider frame.

Just as with a standard motion picture camera, the intermittent pin register camera actually stops the film in the film gate while the photograph is being taken.

Instead of having to thread the film end into a narrow slot in the takeup spool, you simply drop the leader across the film gate and close the back.

In IMAX the film is transported horizontally in the film gate, similar to VistaVision.

These enable the camera operator to roll the film backwards and forwards through the film gate, and to know exactly which frame is being exposed at a given time.

Once the shutter is completely closed, a claw pulls down the next frame of negative film by the sprocket holes into the film gate and the process begins again.

In January 1993, Liu was invited to visit Australia and the US for the interviews in the documentary film Gate of Heavenly Peace.

The top edge of the cartridge above the film gate has a square notch in a specific position corresponding to the speed of the film in the cartridge.

The camera's film gate is also different to that of a regular motion picture camera, in that fixed pins hold each film frame in place while it is being exposed.

Some makes of film scanner are intermittent pull-down film scanners which scan each frame individually, locked down in a pin-registered film gate, taking roughly a second per frame.

Early focal-plane shutters designed from the 1930s onwards usually consisted of two curtains that travelled horizontally across the film gate: an opening shutter curtain followed by a closing shutter curtain.

Their maximum flash synchronization speed is also limited because the slit is only fully open to the film gate (36 mm wide or wider) and able to be flash exposed down to 1/60 sec.

The format expanded the usable film negative horizontally, which required a larger film gate and necessitated either specialized conversion of machined parts or purchase of new cameras designed with Super 16 gates.
