[Tig] Dust and telecine

[Jim Mann]

Hi Andreas,

You can do a few things to help with dirt in the Telecine environment.

1) Positive airflow
2) filter incoming air.
3) Control the RH in the room 40-50% RH is a good target
4) Keep film leaders from dragging on the floor. (This sounds like common
sense, but I have witnessed experienced operators do this!)
5) Spray your film platters with an anti-static spray.
6) Keep your PRTs clean.
7) Keep the capstan and the rollers clean.
8) check that your rollers are turning freely. A dragging roller will create
static (and other problems)
9) Never sneeze while lacing the Telecine!!!!

Regards,
Jim
