Once the processed cine film was returned, it was ready for projection
Eumig silent dual-standard projector capable of projecting both Standard 8mm, and also, Super 8mm films.
Bell & Howell DCR projector for Super 8mm cine film has magnetic sound replay and also record. Sound was recorded on the film magnetic stripe along the edge of the film beside the picture.
Magnetic stripe film was available as new film stock, and sound could be recorded 'combined' as the film picture was taken, or later once the film was returned after processing. A magnetic stripe could be applied later to the film, either as magnetic oxide paste, or as thin magnetic laminate cemented to the film edge. The magnetic stripe was applied to the film along the entire length. However, a 'balancing stripe' was necessary to stop the film winding unevenly on the reel. This was added alongside the perforations. This balancing stripe, while originally never intended for recording, was sometimes used for recording using special 'dual-track' sound projectors.
