PHOTO SHOWS YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
REGULAR 16MM AND SUPER 16MM
ULTRA 16MM CONVERSION
The format called "Ultra 16mm" which,
unlike Super 16mm, expands both directions from the center of the frame.
(Super 16mm offsets the image by expanding out to the opposite side of the
frame as the sprocket hole.) Because the "Ultra 16mm" image is
still centered, you only have to machine the gate and do not have to recenter
the lens. Also, most all lenses for 16mm will provide enough coverage for
Ultra 16mm, so the lens mount doesn't have to be changed. Best of all, for
standard 16mm projection, Ultra 16mm can be printed and projected like normal.
The gate will naturally crop to the standard 16mm aspect ratio with everything
centered like it should be. However, if you decided to either blow up to
35mm or tranfer to HD 16:9, then you've got extra information to either
side so resolution doesn't suffer when letterboxed
