>Hi Bill: would you consider taking on the task of writing a module for
some keycode mfr's reader software that would detect descending keycode
at a particular speed, and then correct it? I imagine it  
would take a couple of frames of buffer. Rob Lingelbach

Assuming the tails out film was loaded into a magazine with the emulsion
facing the right way would mean the keycode would be on the wrong edge
of the film when loaded on a telecine requiring the reader to be
inverted to properly position it! No? Also, as the KK is continuous
prior to being cut, and since KK can be read in rewind, the only change
that should be needed would be a change in the offset!
