CMX's MC2 Solves Film/Video

Tape Production Dilemma

With MC2 and the CMX 6000,

producers can complete post-production
electronically in a video mode, prepare a
videotape master for release on television
and have a matching film/audio cut for
future reference. As

are introduced, this

Surpasses Fresnel Technology

Innovative optical system design (pat. pend.) and precision manufac¬
turing define a new level of performance. A light output comparable
to conventional fixtures of much higher wattage. Economical 100, 50
and 20 watt 12 volt lamps are available - rugged and long-lasting.
Power by battery - camera or car (cigarette lighter). Or

MC2 also solves a problem for
international production. When transferring
on tape directly from NTSC to PAL or
SECAM, there is a loss of picture quality.
Instead, the matching film cut created with
MC2 can be used in place of the NTSC
