When, in December 2005, I bought an ST-1200 in favour of a twice the price GS-1200, one of the compromises I knew I'd be making was the inability of the ST to record pulse-sync sound. As I regularly use my camera which is capable of producing both a pulse tone and a pilot tone, and I've recently bought a Nagra reel to reel which is also pulse enabled, the posibility of recording sound to a sound-striped film is getting closer.
The next step ought to be for me to upgrade to a GS, buy a gadget or two from Pedro and, hopefully, Bob will be my uncle, providing I can work out how to link it all up.
BUT WAIT!!!
Whilst aimlessly leafing through my downloaded manual for the ST, I found a paragraph referring to the small jack at the front of the projector; something that, in my excitement at receiving the machine, I'd never bothered to investigate. I quote:- "The R-1 synchronizer is used to synchronize the Elmo SR-1 Cassette Recorder with the ST-1200HD projector for transferring sync-sound to magnetically striped film. The SR-1 Cassette Recorder, when attatched to Elmo cameras, 110R, 612R or 1018R, utilizes a pulse-sync system for recording sound in post-sync for later sound transfer to the film during projection."
Now, call me old fashioned, but that seems to be saying that there is a way for me to link up my Nagra to my ST and sync sound to picture. There are, apparently at least 554 of you out there so hopefully someone will haved some ideas/suggestions/abuse to send my way?
