<< What kind of film recorder are you using?
 I have a Polaroid HR6000, but it is not real sharp (ok for projection). For
 quality I have to send slides out (I use slides.com).>>

It's an Agfa PCR II being driven by RasterPlus 4.01
 
<< For scanning I've been using a Nikon Coolscan 2000 (tried the Polaroid

 tests). >>

Well, everyone on the film scanner list seemed to think that the SS4000 was 
the way to go, so I went that way! It's got it's own personality, but does 
what I want... There was a focus problem with the early ones, but that seem 
to have been fixed. 

<<Next month Nikon comes out with their 4000, but it won't run under
 Windows NT (only 2000! keeping up ain't easy!). I will need to upgrade to
 get the highest resolution scans for producing StereoJet images... (as well
 as slides) >>

Well, NT doesn't support colour management, of course. So (in that respect) 
2000 and 98 are superior...

 <<That's great that you're doing the classic Whitehouse show. (How can I get 
a
 copy???) >>

Don't know! We (the Stereoscopic Society committee) have custodianship over 
the Whitehouse shows, but we haven't considered the question of having copies 
of the shows around...

I imagine that we will impose "fair use" conditions on the slides - they will 
be issued for showing as complete sequences - no ripping off individual 
slides!

And I suspect that we will permit showing to non-3-D groups, generally. Shows 
to PSA, NSA etc will need prior agreement from us - to avoid overshowing, and 
keep the shows "fresh" if you see what I mean...

And then there's the question of synchronising tracks. I use Bassgen UX-Plus 
controllers, which use the "mate-track" system (if thsat's the right name!) 
and so should be compatible with Arion, Imatronic etc but I have no way of 
checking. I would want to be sure that showings of the sequences were exact 
facsimiles of my interpretation... (I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm the 
only one left that can _manually_ project these shows as Pat intended. I'd 
like to ensure that the interpretation is preserved...  

What do you think? How would you use a copy of the "Tribute to Handel" for 
instance?

Bob

PS - I hope to get a chance to worship at the Church when I come over with 
Alan Mahon for the NSA convention...
