3.0 TECHNICAL DATA:
PICTURE
The rear screen projection method via an optical compensation system with
18-face revolving prism gives a very brilliant, bright and sharp picture.
The standard dimensions of the projection are 212 x 288 mm.
Accurate film transport is achieved by revolving sprockets on the left and right
side of the polygon.
The left sprocket is spring driven, guaranteeing a smooth and careful film
transport and a very good picture steadiness.
With the ‘New Line’ Series it is possible to change sprockets within a minute
for shrunken film (optional).
There are two shrunken sprocket systems available.
There is a possibility that the picture steadiness with shrunken film sprockets
is poorer.
Framing is possible in running mode.
Moreover, with the ‘New Line’ it is now possible to have three picture/image
formats:
Standard (academy) and (optional) Cinemascope, S35 or Widescreen.
The projection lamp can be easily replaced and adjusted.
In stand-still mode the light is automatically dimmed to prevent heat damages
to the film. The very easy threading saves time and protects the film from being
damaged.
SOUND
High quality sound reproduction is possible with specially designed digital pre
amps and main amp of 2 x 40 W output.
The “New Line’ series Steenbeck have the following standard set up:
ST3512: COMOPT Stereo optical sound, mono switchable.

6.0 OPERATION MANUAL STEENBECK ST3512 – ST3514 – ST3516
6.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW
The ‘NEW LINE’ STEENBECK is a high quality film viewing and controlling
table for motion picture and perforated magnetic sound film and specifically
designed for film archives and film laboratories.
The most important goal of this new design is to view and transport fragile film
and sound material in the best possible way with a minimal amount of physical
wear.
With these tables films can be checked for any kind of degree of scratches,
fading of colour and optical or magnetic sound.
The drive and sound system
is processor controlled.
These processors can be aligned for users’ specification.
When the film breaks or at the end of the film the table will stop automatically
as it’s detected by sensors.
The film plates of the disengaged MAG tracks (ST3514-ST3516 only) will also
stop turning.
Standard Bi-phase 50 Hz output for synchronising (master only)
An optional foot pedal is available.
Picture reproduction
is done via an optical compensation system with an
highly rated 18 face revolving prism.
Two revolving sprockets ensure of an accurate transport, a smooth and careful
film transport and an excellent picture steadiness.
A third sprocket is for the COMOPT sound reproduction.
All three sprockets can be replaced by special sprockets for shrunken film
within a minute. There are two kits available.
The lighting system
is equipped with a 12V – 100W halogen lamp.
The projection lamp and the condenser system with heat filter are fitted in a
quickly removable system enabling very easy replacement of broken lamps.
Light is automatically reduced when the film transport is stopped, which allows
viewing of the film frame for an unlimited time without causing any damage.
The projection system
is fitted with highly polished front surface coated
mirrors. A hard over coating ensures long life with constant picture quality.
The special close grained screen is of a special plastic to ensure maximum
view quality within a viewing angle of approximately 70º.
V4E-2013 35mm New Line
17
Sound system
can be controlled by the touch screen (TS).
Every pre-amplifier for optical and / of magnetic sound can be selected by the
touch screen menu. Faders for volume, treble, bass and balance are available.
Each pre amplifier has two channels / stereo, can be set in mono and mute.
The mix of the pre-amplifiers is available on the balanced XLR +4dB outputs.
An extra RCA -10dB input is available for mixing or monitoring an external
analogue audio source.
The summing amplifier is fitted with the master volume control for audio
including treble, bass and balance of this signal.
A high quality power amplifier with 40 W output and 2 way compact
loudspeakers guarantees an excellent sound reproduction.
Reproduction of 4-channel COMMAG films and separate (SEPOPT) 35mm
sound film or sound negatives is also possible as an option.
Audio playback is automatically muted when the table runs more than 30 f.p.s..
The Steenbeck Universal counter
is standard equipment.
This counter for all formats measures all film length, elapsed time and frames
and is able to convert every count immediately into another count.
Within the universal counter display is also monitored:
- the exacts running speed of the film.
- measurement of the MAG 1 sound track, by switching.
- Vario speed is active.
- the selected synchronous speed.
- the picture-sound shift advance / retard frames
( for ST3514-ST3516 only).
The universal counter system is operated mainly from the touch screen menu
which also has a film format calculator and transfer counts to a cueing system.
The advance and retard system
for sound tape (only on MAG 1 of ST3514 and
ST3516) can be operated at all speeds by a differential gear.
By using the advance and retard switch the sync mode can be matched to
within one teeth of a frame or after switching over in single frame in either
direction to the picture. This enables in a short time exact perforation
synchronisation.
The touch screen
is the operation centre of the ‘New Line’ Steenbeck.
This touch screen gives the operator of the table some interesting tools:
- light menu for levelling working lamp for standard light as well as LED light.
- calculator menu to calculate and transfer counts, operation of universal
counter.
- cue menu: return zero system and 5 cue point are available.
- count 1 and 2 menu.
- sound menu.
- sensor menu.
- elapsed time counter for maintenance.
All preceding items are explained in section 6.3 and 6.4.

6.2 WORKING WITH THE NEW LINE STEENBECK
Connect the Steenbeck to power as described in section 3.0 and 4.0.
Please take care that the power connector at the table is secured with the
safety clamping devise at the frame.
Always
check if the power is according to the given voltage and frequency,
which can be found on the type and serial number plate at the back of the
frame.
Always
check that the grounding of the power socket is correct.
Without a proper grounding, the operator might be at danger.
Use a free power group of at least 16 Amps.
Switch the power ON with the main power switch (16).
A part of the electronics of the table will go in standby and the fan will start
moving.
The push button 23 (standby) will show a RED light.
When the standby button (23) is pushed the light will turn to GREEN and the
table will start up in several stages in a short time.
Before switching OFF, it’s advised to always switch off the sub functions (2732-33-34-35) off first and then the Standby button 23. Finally the main power
switch 15 can be switched off.
After switching ON the processor the touch screen (TS) is activated too.
After a short time you will hear a ‘peep’ and the home page menu can be seen.
Now the table is ready for use and all the needed sub-functions can be chosen
now.
It’s advised to switch on only sub-functions which are needed.
The sound is also activated after switching on.
If you don’t need sound, then please always MUTE the master sound control.
( see section 6.3 ) If you intend to use one sound source, please take care that
other pre-amps are muted.
FILM THREADING.
Threading of the film is done as explained in fig. 29 – 30 - 31 .
The left hand sprocket has a spring, enabling the film ton be set with the
correct tension in combination with the right hand sprocket.
Always
check the tension before running the table!! The film can get damaged!
When a film with optical sound has to be viewed threat the film as shown in
fig.29 .
Now push button 37 ( tension COMPOPT) and the tension roller 58 can be
disengaged.
Align the film now by pulling the film to the right giving a margin of at least
one perforation at the tension roller.
Keep the film at that spot and engage again with button 37.

- length in meter / Dm./ frames
Example: you want to copy a 16mm film of 360 meter to a 35mm copy at 24
frames per second. (f.p.s.)
- push on field source data
- source format: 16mm
- push on field: M (meter)
- enter: 360 meter
- confirm with: < (above right)
- now you are back into the ‘calculator’ menu
- you see in ‘source data’ : 360 mtr. - 47246 frames
- target speed: set to 24 f.p.s.
- target format: 35 4 p. (35mm / 1 frame / 4 perforations)
- now you can read: time: 32 min. - 48 sec. - 14 frames
length: 899 meter - 9 decimetre - 4 frames

73. CUE MENU fig. 18 (page 31)
With this menu you have to the following possibilities:
- return zero (73a): automatic wind back (or forward) to the set ‘0’
position.
- cue points (73b) for checking film copies.
IMPORTANT: always switch (with 85) the counter display to count 1 (fig. 12).
73a: return zero (RZ): by pushing this field (73a) the table will run back or
forward to the set ‘ 0 ‘ position.
By pushing on ‘wind speed’ (73c) you have the choice for three wind speeds.
Wind speed 3 is the highest wind speed.
The wind speed in this mode is the same as done by the manual speed paddle.
Wind speed 1: synchronous speed.
Wind speed 2: speed approx. 90 f.p.s.
Wind speed 3: maximum speed.
If you want to change the wind speed during winding, just push ‘wind speed’ to
select the wanted speed.
IMPORTANT: if you want to stop just push button 73g.
If you want to proceed, push return to zero (73a) again.
IMPORTANT: during cueing or returning to zero do not use the speed paddle.
CUEING
With this facility you have the possibility to store five cue points during the
checking of a film.
By pushing knob ‘cue’ (73h) you enter the actual count.
This can be done during any running speed of the table.
73b:
Field 1 (F1): is showing the actual count in frames.
Field 2 – 5 (F2-5) by pushing ‘cue’ you enter the actual count from that
moment into F2 (F2). By pushing ‘cue’ again the next cue point is F3 , F4 till
F5.
After you have checked the film copy the table can run automatically to the set
cue points by:
<< (73d): pushing ones: winding to the proceeding cue point.
pushing twice: winding to penultimate cue point etcetera.
>> (73f): pushing ones: winding to the next cue point.
pushing twice: winding to the next following cue point etc.
>> (73g): stop winding during return to zero or cueing mode.
Whatever button (73d-f-g) you have pushed, you always can restart RZ and
cueing.
Clear (73i): with this button you can clear the cue point to ‘0’.

77. SENSOR MENU. fig. 27 (page 36)
77a: Automatic stop ON / OFF:
ON: the table stops at film end or when film brakes.
This facility is ONLY available on the film track.
77b: Film detected: monitoring the sensors during film transport.
As long as the sensors detect movement the transport will be continued.
As soon as one of the sensors detect that one of the frictions are in
stand still, the transport will stop.
IMPORTANT:
- When the table is started and there is NO film in the film track, the
table will stop after some seconds.
- If it’s required to wind or playback a magnetic sound film (track 2) the setting
of the sensor should be at OFF.
- In case the film is started with the speed switch/paddle for example
synchronous mode and the table stops, give a little turn at the left or right
friction / film plate and the table will run again.
When this doesn’t help one sensor could be out of alignment.
6.4 UNIVERSAL COUNTER fig. 12 (page 15)
The New Line Steenbeck film tables also have a new generation counter board
and display.
Comparing this counter and display with the famous ‘hello’ series counter, the
new type has some interesting advantages:
- it displays the actual running speed of film (80)
- counting in: frames (81)
length in meter-decimetre-frames
or length in feet-frames
time in hours-minutes-seconds-frames
- variable speed ON (82)
- it has a switch for count film track or sound track Mag. 1 (83)
- the synchronous speed of the table: 24 or 25 f.p.s. (84)
- it has a switch for count 1 or count 2. Standard always on 1 (85)
- it has a push button ‘hold’ (86)
- it has a push button ‘reset’ (87)
- it has a picture-sound-shift (BT) (88) only for ST3514 – ST3516

7.0 FOOT CONTROL (optional)
The “New Line” series foot control is a useful tool when you need your hands
for checking / guiding the film.
All drive commands can be given with this foot control .
Push buttons ( red ) are for start running in sync speed and the next push
is STOP.
You also can go directly from sync forward to sync reverse without pushing
for stop
When the table is in STOP you can use the foot pedal for variable speed
between 0 and 125 frames per second.
When the table is in sync speed you can push the foot pedal to increase
the speed.
However when you take the foot of the pedal, it will go back to sync speed.
Pushing both pedals, the table will stop.
IN WIND MODE ( page 14 fig. 9 ):
In this mode the foot control is NOT active.
