• Elmo Cinematic Sound System. "One amateur cassette sync system that deserves mention here is the Elmo Cinematic Sound System. The Elmo SR-1 cassette sync recorder uses the standard one pulse per frame on cassette track 4 (same as Scipio, Philips 2209, and Uher CR134) and it interlocks with the Elmo 110R camera to provide scene-to-scene sync. The same cassette recorder is then capable of interlock with the Elmo ST-1200 projector to provide transfers of cassette sound to magnetic edge stripe. A special synchronizer unit allows the cassette recorder to resolve its speed to the projector. Since the cassette cannot be edited, we aren't sure of the value of this step compared to using single-system sound originally, but many customers have requested this capability. The Elmo SR-1 cassette recorder and Elmo 110R camera can only be purchased as a pair." From Super8Sound Catalog, Cambridge, USA, 1976.
