INT R O DUC T I ON
The Rolleivision Twin MSC 325 P and Rollei­vision MSC 535 P are highly precise opto­electronic projectors designed for dissolve projection. Focusing, magazine advance, slide changing, dissolve time and screen time are microprocessor-controlled. A remote infrared handset with integral timer and dissolve-time control plus integral laser pointer ensures high operator comfort. Intelligently organized indicators keep you informed about the cur­rent operating status. The line of interchange­able lenses includes suitable focal lengths for all normal projection distances.
Either projector accepts LKM, CS and stan­dard magazines, including the Rollei CM-55/ 50 hook-up magazines based on the latter. There is no need to use special magazines that would require rearranging your slides.
Awkward blackout between screen images and abrupt image changes are a thing of the past: Projection with smooth transitions opens up new perspectives for creative slide shows.
projectors. At the end of the instructions, you will find practical hints as well as troubles­hooting help. A table lists screen sizes and projection distances.
Whether you use your projector in your work or as a fascinating hobby – we wish you a lot of fun with dissolve projection.
We have prepared detailed operating instruc­tions that will enable you to use the full potential of these unique projectors to best advantage. An explanation of all important components and their functions is followed by brief information on essential controls. This in turn is followed by a detailed descrip­tion of use and operating modes of the

Loading slides Standard Rollei CM-55/50 magazine
Preferably use “auto-safe” slides in smooth plastic mounts with rounded corners, no thi­cker than 3.2 mm. We recommend the use of slide mounts that are available in a comprehensive range of types and sizes.
NOTE:
Bent cardboard-mounted slides, metal mounts or all-glass mounted slides with sharp edges or corners should not be used because they are liable to cause problems.
Identical slide mounts ensure optimum regist­ration of images during the dissolve.
CAUTION:
Use only high-quality magazines made of an opaque material to avoid projec­tor malfunctions!
The Rollei CM-55/50 magazines are a perfect match for the Twin projectors.. These 50-slide magazines are easily hooked up before or during projection, which permits continuous projection of several magazines without any interruption. To aid in this, maga­zine extension tracks are available as optional accessories, which are simply hooked into the projector. Rollei CM-55/50 magazines can also be used with most other commercially availab­le projectors.

Loading slides
Position the magazine with its numbers

on the right and insert slides upside down, emulsion facing the screen, in the desired order, starting with slot No. 1.
LKM magazines
LKM magazines may be used for all slide mounts up to 2 mm thick. To avoid problems, we recommend the use of slides between
1.5 and 2 mm thick with LKM magazines. Mounts of less than 1.5 mm thickness should be used only with standard magazines. Be sure to use only identical slide mounts for optimum registration of images. Magazines for 60 or 80 slides are commercially available (not from Rollei).
CS magazines
CS magazines take specially designed CS mounts. These have shaped edges that enga­ge guides in the slide slots. Other types of mount cannot be used. CS magazines are commercially available in sizes for 40 or 100 slides (not from Rollei).
Fitting the lenses
Screw the two lenses into their mounts, taking care not to leave any fingerprints on their glass surfaces.

Setting up the projector and screen
Set up the projector properly: its front

parallel to the screen, the lenses centered on the screen, with adequate space for cables and magazine travel. A stable horizontal posi­tion is very important. We recommend the use of a projector table. Do not obstruct the ventilation slits!
Aligning the image
Line up the projected image with the

This basic manual focusing is required only once at the beginning of the show. Thereafter, the autofocus system will take over and auto-

matically focus the two lenses.
Manual refocusing is necessary after changing the lenses, varying the projection distance or changing the focal-length setting of zoom lenses.
Slides in glassless mounts may pop when exposed to the heat of the light beam. In this case also, the AF system automatically refocu­ses the image.
The two »focus« buttons used for manual operation remain active even with the AF sys­tem in operation. In other words, pressing one of these buttons will override autofocusing. Blinking of the LED next to button 38 indi­cates that the image on the screen is being projected without AF. AF will be reactivated either by depression of button 38 or by the next slide-change command. The LED will then go out.
