Subject: Re: PUPT: Slide Sound Show


Hi Michelle

The fancy machine was made by Wollensack, forget spelling, it worked with Kodak slide projectors.
It was great. it would do dissolves, timed cuts and X-fades between two machines.
It was very expensive and it was hard to program. If you were doing anything timed to music. If you made a mistake you almost had to start over. It was an early digital system and you could only copy the cue tape with a similar machine.

I remember spending hours making the tapes for shows I did with Ragabash Puppet theater. 

You could try to find one at a used audio video company or a company that does convention and trade show rentals.  You might find a simple cut/ fade for two machines, A show I worked on back in college had something like 16 projectors that all cued in pairs on the simple device. I do not think they were programmable, but rather were cued by the stagemanager just like lights and sound.

With the advent of laptops and power point this kind of machine is obsolete.

Good Luck

Hello Everyone! 

Does anyone remember or use the slide shows with sound, 
where the cassette sent out an impulse that caused the slide to 
change to the next one? 


Thanks thanks!
Michelle Illuminato
