This magnetic recording and playback sound projector was developed for the 514 XL-S CANOSOUND Ektasound movie camera, unveiled in 1976. Designers focused on compactness and light weight on a par with silent projectors, as well as easy operation.
Unlike conventional projectors, this model had no reel arm, so was highly portable and easy to operate yet could accommodate a 400-foot reel. An automatic sound-level control circuit (ALC) was built in to allow recording at suitable sound level. The long-life, tungsten-halogen lamp with cold mirror coating, combined with the fast f/1.3 zoom lens, provided bright projection.
A unique accessory to this model was the Daylight Viewer DV-1, a small screen attached in front of the lens for viewing images.
