mounting bracket by a quick release thumb screw. The head mounts over an
alignment pin on the bracket. The angle of the head can be adjusted over almost
180 degrees, and should be set so that the film enters and leaves the head at
about the same angle. A set screw on the side of the bracket can secure the
angle of the head should you need to remove the head. Removing the head may
be accomplished by merely loosening the thumb screw and disconnecting the
cable. Figure 8-5 shows the proper installation of the reader head assembly onto
the telecine feed roller collar. Figure 8-2 shows a side view of the reader head and
bracket, and the film path.
When mounting the head on your telecine, the following procedure should be used
to ensure that the head does not interfere with the film path.

supplied with the mounting bracket between the roller shaft and the
mounting bracket. Tighten the binding screw finger tight to hold the
bracket and adapter rings in place. Re-install the roller onto the shaft.
3.
Slip the reader head over the alignment pin on the mounting bracket
and tighten the thumbscrew (11) to hold the head in place. The head
should be positioned such that the film enters and leaves the reader
head rollers at approximately the same angle.
4.
Thread some film into the telecine as you would normally, making sure
that it passes over the reader's rollers. Set the height of the mounting
bracket so that the film is running smoothly through the reader head
rollers. Rotate the bracket such that the reader head rollers deflect
the film by 3 or 4 mm. This will ensure that the film will not climb over
the flanges of the reader head rollers as it travels through.
