PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your KODAK EKTAGRAPHIC III AFT Projector.
Please review this product sheet and the important maintenance instructions enclosed.
The KODAK EKTAGRAPHIC III AFT Projector is a standard KODAK EKTAGRAPHIC III
A Projector with fade and timer controls added. This projector was specifically designed
for cinema applications and therefore does not include a slide tray, lamp, lens, user manual, or
remote control.
FADE and VIEW controls
There are three controls for the special features of the AFT Projector. They are located under
the projector handle.
1. Automatic AFT mode (ON / OFF)
When this switch is ON ( I ), slides will advance automatically using the VIEW and
FADE times selected.
2. VIEW adjustment screw
Allows you to select the amount of time the slide is displayed on the screen, from
5 to 15 seconds.
3. FADE adjustment screw
Allows selection of the time it takes to fade up and down between slides, from 0.5
to 4 seconds.
NOTE: The operation will sequence as follows: fade up, change slide, fade down.
Selection of 0.5 second, for example, will fade up 0.5 seconds, change slide
1 second and fade down 0.5 seconds for a total of 2 seconds per slide change.
