[Tig] Sepmag and telecine

[Andreas Wideroe Andersen]

Hi,
We just got in some 16mm films from a client with magnetic audio on 
separate reels. The audio-tape/reel is 8mm (!) wide and looks just 
like Regular 8mm film, but is a magnetic tape. See a photo here:

I've never seen this before. Does anyone have any background info 
about these magnetic reels - Ie. how common are/were they? What is 
the most common sepmag type audio format out there for film?

What type of equipment would be used to play back these 8mm reels/tapes?

Also, what sepmag players would work with our FDL-60 and 90 
telecines? I've seen the tall ones installed and connected to 
telecines in machine rooms, but I don't know the names of them. What 
brand and models should I look for?

Cheers!
Andreas
