Dear colleagues,

Hi, I got some metres of film double perforated 16mm.

They has a white 16mm normal 16mm film leader.

The double perforated 16mm film can be passed through a Bauer P6?

Or needs an special projector?

Thanks in advance, kind regards, Arturo.

Yes you can use double perforated film on a Bauer P6. In fact you can project double perforated film on any 16mm sound projector. Just make sure you feed it the correct way as not to mirror the image and also don't forget to turn down the volume.

Hi Alexander, thanks a lot for your quick reply!! :-)

I made a comparative putting another 16mm normal film over the double perforated film and is the same, in fact, i thought that if the leader white band was only normal 16mm maybe passed well time ago in the owner projector, but I wanted to be sure,because I do not want break the bauer P6 projector.

Thanks for confirme me that I can pass it.

A big hug, regards,Arturo.

Remember to turn the sound off as said because it will make a BIG noise through the speaker if on.
