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.

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

To ensure smooth attachment and removal of
Rollei CM 55/50 magazines during projection,
observe the following:
Push the first magazine forward as far as
»
it will go and start magazine advance.
Attach the second magazine not later than
during projection of slide 45 of the first magazine. The first magazine may be detached
after slide No. 6 of the second magazine, but
not later than slide No. 12.
To do this, slightly raise the magazine
»
and lift it out.
If a track extension is used, the first magazine
may be detached later.
To attach a track extension, engage its
»
studs into the corresponding holes 9 of the
magazine track where they are engaged by
the force of springs.

1.1 Logging a manually controlled slide
show
Unnoticed by the user, the projector will
automatically log the slide data in its working
memory during a normal slide show. These
include: Slide number as well as dissolve and
screen time, which are logged under a common program number. If a dissolve time is
changed by pressing one of the three dissolve
buttons 14, this will be logged during the following dissolve. The timer interval recorded is
always equivalent to the screen time of a slide
between the end of its fade-in and the beginning of its fade-out.
In the timer mode, the show can be
»
stopped and continued by pressing the »stop/
go« button 16. The resultant extended screen
time will be recorded.
Dissolves also can be stopped with the
»
aid of the »stop/go« button. However, this
will not be logged.
36
NOTE: Logged data will be lost if the projector is switched off.

1.2 Running a test
A manually controlled slide show can immediately be repeated automatically for testing
purposes.
To do this, switch on the »test« mode
»
by pressing the »mode« button 35 after the
end of the show.
Playback can be started immediately by
»
pressing the green forward button 19.
Use the »stop/go« button 16 to stop
»
and restart a dissolve or the timer.
The show can be terminated at any time
»
by pressing the »end« button 12.
The »memo« button 21 can be activated as
in the manual mode.
Making corrections during a test run
It is often necessary to change the dissolve or
screen time of a slide.
To do this, press the »stop/go« button 16
»
during the test run while the corresponding
slide is being shown.
If the timer-correction button 37 or
»
one of the three dissolve buttons 14 is then
pressed, this will change the previously recorded screen time of the slide being shown or
the dissolve duration from this to the next
slide.
If, however, the dissolve time being
»
watched is to be corrected, first press the red
reverse button before making the correction.
Additional reverse commands are, however,
impossible during test runs.
To resume the show, press the green for-
»
ward button 19 or the »stop/go« button 16.

1.3 Chip modules
A slide show logged in the program storage
of the projector can be permanently saved
in an interchangeable chip module 44. The
slot for this module is located underneath the
control panel.
Modules are available with a capacity of
approx. 120 slides (module 100) or approx.
400 slides (module 300). The capacity may
vary depending on the slide information
involved. All modules can be read and overwritten as often as desired. In each case the
entire contents of the module is loaded into
the projector‘s program storage or the latter‘s
content into the type 100 or 300 module
(insofar as this is possible).
NOTE: Standard equipment of the projector is
a type 100 module.

1.3.1 Saving in the chip module
When saving a show in the module, the data
logged in the working memory of the projector are transferred to the module.
To do this, press the »mode« button 35
»
to set the »record« mode. The LED of the
»module« button 36 will blink.
After pressing the »module« button 36,
»
the word »record« will also blink, signaling
that any further depression of the »module«
button will completely erase the information
stored in the module.
The logged data are transferred to the
»
module after the second depression of the
»module« button. During this process, the
LED of the »module« button 36 is lit. It will
go out as soon as the recording is complete,
and the projector will automatically switch
to the »test« mode. The data of the show
remain logged in the working memory.
1.3.2 Playing back a show saved in the
module
To play back a show saved in a module it is
necessary to transfer its data into the working
memory of the projector.
To do this, set the »auto« mode by pres-
»
sing the »mode« button 35. The LED of the
»module« button 36 starts blinking.
After depression of the »module« but-
»
ton 36, a copy of the data in the module will
be transferred from the latter to the working
memory.
The show can be started immediately by
»
pressing the green forward button 19.
Using the »stop/go« button 16, dissolves
»
or the timer can be stopped and restarted.
The »memo« button 21 can be activated
»
as in the manual mode.
If there is no module in the slot, the LED will
keep blinking.
The »module« LED will also blink if the capacity of the module is insufficient. However,
the show has been saved as far as possible.
In this case, quit the »record« mode by
»
pressing the »mode« button 35.
NOTE: Do not switch off the projector during
saving!

1.4 Direct access to specific slides in the
»auto« and »test« modes
As in the »manual« mode, direct access to all
slides in the working memory is also possible
in the »test« and »auto« modes. The run can
be started in three different ways:
PRO G R AMM I N G
NOTE:
Direct access is possible in the »auto« and
»test« modes only if the slide selected does
exist in the working memory.
1. By pressing the green forward button.
»
2. By accessing a slide slot using the
»
»focus« buttons 15 and then pressing the
green forward button 19.
By entering the number of the slide slot
»
on the numerical keyboard and pressing the
green forward button 19.
The projector will then search for the program number under which the selected slide
number is logged. This and the slide registered under the following program number will
be moved into the projector.
During a slide show, direct access is pos-
»
sible at any time using the keyboard and then
pressing the green forward button 19.
In this case, the slide in the standby position
is exchanged for the one selected and then
faded in.
NOTE:
An uninterrupted show of over 100 slides can
be assembled only with type CM 55/50 Rollei
hook-up magazines. If such a show is to start
with slide (slot) number 175, for example,
first enter the figure 175 via the keyboard
and then press the green forward button 19.
As a result, the magazine will not advance by
175 slide slots, but only by 25 - the projector
assuming that the magazine with slides 151
to 200 is in place. The projector will start
operating that way beginning with slide (slot)
number 101.

2.1 Programming a slide show with the
aid of “enter mode 1”
Input via the keyboard offers a much greater
number of possibilities for assembling a slide
show. In this case, it is not necessary to run
the show in parallel, as has been described
under 1.1. In addition, –> special functions
can be programmed as well.
Setting up a table like the one shown on
page 46 is helpful because it allows one
line of the program after another to be processed. “Enter mode 1” is used for programming.
For this purpose,
select the »test« mode using the
»
»mode« button 35
and press the »enter« button 39.
»
The slide show can now be entered with all
desired special effects.
2.1.1 Program number
»program« blinks in the display 41, prompting you to enter the program number via the
keyboard 40. It is advisable to start the program with number 1. After input, press the
»enter« button 39. This transfers the selected
number to the working memory where it is
logged. The highest program number is 999.
In other words, a show may include up to
999 slides.

2.1.4 Screen time (timer)
Upon transfer of the dissolve time, »timer«
will blink in display 41. The digit field shows
the screen time previously entered under
this program number. When programming a
new show, the default timer interval of »0«
second will be prompted - in other words,
the timer is inoperative.
To accept this interval, press »enter«
»
button 39.
To input a different interval, use the
»
keyboard and confirm by pressing »enter«
button 39.
Timer intervals can only be input in increments of full seconds.
When the timer is inoperative, the forward
command is either given by pressing the
green forward button 19 or by the forward
command from the sync-pulse generator or
the computer. Screen time can be set in steps
of one second from 4 s (MSC 535 P 5 s) to
600 s. It should not be shorter than the time
required for slide changing (longer in the case
of far-distant slides).
NOTE:
The display will always show the timer interval in full seconds. In other words, a timer
interval of, say, 7.8 s previously saved in another mode will be shown as 7 seconds.
After pressing the »enter« button 39,
»
the interval displayed will be transferred to
the working memory - 7.0 seconds in our

2.1.9.1 Special light functions
Fade-in/sandwich
In the »test« and »auto« modes, a slide with
the „fade-in“ special function entered in
its program line will be faded into the slide
already being projected in the other projector
channel with full brightness. The screen time
of the fade-in slide can be selected between
1 and 9 s. The fade-in and fade-out times will
depend on the dissolve time entered for that
slide. The timer interval programmed for the
slide gives the screen time of the slide in the
other channel after the end of the fade-in
function.
Freeze
In the »test« and »auto« modes, a slide with
the „freeze“ function entered in its program
line will be stopped in mid-dissolve. The
freeze time can be chosen between 1 and 9
seconds.
Blinking
In the »test« and »auto« modes, a slide with
the „blinking“ function entered in its program line will be faded in blinking into the
slide being projected in the other projector
channel with full brightness. The number of
blinking cycles may be chosen between 1 and
9. The duration of fade-in/fade-out depends
on the dissolve time entered for the fade-in
slide, but should be kept brief in order to
preserve the impression of blinking. The timer
interval selected gives the screen time of the
slide in the other channel after the end of the
blinking function.
Flashing
–> Blinking – reduced duration.
Toggling
In the »test« and »auto« modes, a slide with
the „toggling“ function entered in its program line will be projected alternately with
the slide already on the screen. The number
of toggling cycles can be varied from 1 to
9. The toggling characteristics can be varied
with the aid of the dissolve time entered. The
timer interval selected gives the screen time
of the slide in the other channel after the
end of the toggling function. The toggling
cycle always ends with the slide in the other
channel.
Fade-in/fade-out
In this function, the previous slide will first
fade out completely before fading in again.
This is useful if two slides should not be
dissolved, for instance when changing from
horizontal to vertical format.
Fade-out – pause – fade-in
This function may be selected if the show is
to be interrupted. The previous slide is faded
out. The next slide is faded in and the show
resumes only after renewed depression of the
green forward button.

2.1.9.2 Special mechanical functions
Autoreverse
In the »test« and »auto« modes, a slide with
the „Autoreverse“ function entered in its
program line will automatically be followed
by the first slide of the show. The transition
will be seamless, in other words, there will be
no blackout.
Master-slave operation
In the »test« and »auto« modes, a slide with
one of the two „master-slave“ functions
entered in its program line will cause a control pulse to be applied to the PC terminal.
With a Rollei adapter cable connected to the
remote-control terminal (RC terminal) of another MSC 325 P, MSC 535 P, MSC 300 MSC
300 P, MSC 320 S or MSC 330 P, this may be
used to trigger a forward pulse in a slave. The
pulse may be applied either at the beginning
or in the middle of a dissolve. If the slave also
is a type MSC 325 P, MSC 535 P, MSC 330
P or MSC 300 P projector, this may execute
special functions and can in turn be used as a
master driving an additional slave. Depending
on its operating mode, the latter will use the
dissolve times and, possibly, special functions
either according to the dissolve time set on
its keyboard (manual mode) or the data in its
working memory (test or auto mode). A certain triggering delay is, however, unavoidable
in a ladder network.

NOTE: To avoid malfunctions, make sure that
the slave projector has completed its dissolve
or special function before a slave command
is given.

of 1, 101, 151, 201, 251, 301, 351, 401 ...
951, it will always begin with the first slide
of the corresponding magazine. This may be
used to save several slide shows in one chip
module. It should be noted, however, that
the projector will always save the entire contents of its working memory in one module.
Consequently, if a new show has to be
expanded, the old shows will first have to be
loaded down from the module into the working memory. A combination of several slide
shows might look as follows:

It should be noted that every show has to
end with a »0« slide number. In the case of
irregular slide sequence, slide numbers must
not be lower than the number of the starting
slide.
Note: To allow subsequent program expansion of the different shows, some gaps should
be left in the current program numbers.
However, these should not be too large
because they use up module space.

3.1 “DiaEdit Win”
The Rollei “DiaEdit Win” software has been
developed especially for IBM-compatible PCs
and serves to simplify the assembly even of
sophisticated slide shows. It allows the slide
information required, such as program number, slide (slot) number, dissolve time, screen
time and special functions, to be presented
on the screen in tabular form for editing. The
course of the show can easily be followed on
the screen, interrupted and terminated at will.
The programs can be downloaded into a PC
or into a chip module and can be reloaded at
any time. Printing and copying (partial) programs onto each other are additional features
of “DiaEdit Win”.
4. Sync-pulse control
The projector has a special terminal (26) for
this purpose. The following equipment is
recommended for sound recording:
--> GEBUHR DIA-AV Recorder
--> KINDERMANN AV Stereo Radio Recorder.
These are stereo recorders with a freehead
track and integral sync-pulse generator for
projector control. The Rollei Adapter Cable
83 881 is needed for connecting the recorder
to the projector. The cable is connected to
terminal 26 of the projector. It is 1.5 m long.
Other suitable equipment is made by Fostex,
Tascam and Yamaha.
These units use an external sync-pulse generator, such as the Rollei RCP Slide Synchronizer 62 656. Be sure to follow the instructions
supplied with these units.
NOTE:
Since the feed pulses are generated by the
sync-pulse generator or AV recorder, timer
intervals have to be deleted from programmed shows!
To do this, press the »timer« button in
»
the »record« mode. It is advisable to delete
the timer intervals before saving the show in
the chip module.

Standby/Pause
At the start of a show, the first two slides
have to be moved into the projector from the
magazine before the first fade-in. The corresponding delay can be avoided only if the
slides are moved into position beforehand.
To do this, press »stop/go« button 16,
»
followed by green forward button 19.
»
The first two slides are loaded into the projector.
Fade-in will follow only when the green forward button is pressed the next time. The
»timer« LED will blink during waiting.
The forward commands may also be given
by the sync-pulse generator or the computer.
Standby operation is also possible if a discrete
slide in the magazine is to be accessed directly via the keyboard.
During projection in the manual mode (timer
disabled), the slide show may be interrupted.
The screen
is a decisive factor in determining the quality
of your projected images. A tensioning device
taking creases out of the screen is very desirable. Larger screens mean greater impact.
The larger the screen, the more impressive the
projected image.
Select a large-enough screen - about 1.5
»
m y 1.5 m for home projection. Screens of
1.8 m
x 1.8 m to 3 m x 3 m are suitable for large to
very large rooms.
Set the screen up vertically (and parallel
»
to the front of the projector). The center of
the screen should be at the same height as
the projection lenses and about 25 cm above
the audience‘s eye level.
In very large rooms alignment is easier if
you tilt the top of the screen about 5 - 10°
towards the projector.

In small rooms it may be helpful to set up
the projector in an adjacent room and project
through an open door.

Changing lenses
Unscrew the lenses by turning them
»
counterclockwise.
Clean the glass surfaces of two lenses of
»
matching focal length and screw them into
the projector.
Repeat basic manual focusing.
»
Zoom lenses with focal lengths between
70 and 120 mm are useful for projection in
rooms of different size and make it easier to
match the slide size with the screen size.
Rollei AV-Apogon and Schneider-Kreuznach
AV-Xenotar lenses meet the most stringent
demands for edge sharpness, uniform illumination and color balance. They are renowned
as high-performance slide-projection lenses
bringing to the screen the outstanding image
quality of modern camera lenses.
Sophisticated slide shows
Select slides very critically, eliminating
»
repetitions and poor quality.
Avoid frequent changes between day-
»
light and flash shots as well as random series
of personal souvenir pictures.
Assemble powerful series of uniform pre-
»
dominant color, candid shots, etc.
Focus and adjust images before begin-
»
ning the show.
Always keep a spare lamp ready.
»
Keep the number of slides to a tolerable
»
level.
Allow for pauses in the show to keep up
»
the interest of viewers.
Terminate your show with a particularly
»
evocative slide.
Use subdued room lighting before the
»
show and for a while after it.
Matching background music improves
»
any slide show. For today‘s audience, accustomed to TV, it is almost essential, particularly if
there is no commentary.

• Be sure to use a metal-coated screen that
will not affect polarization. Align the projector so that its axis is perpendicular to the
screen to avoid light falloff.
Insert the original Rollei polarizing-filter
