The "1 + 1 = 4 concept"

Taking pictures means being creative, playing with light and colour, capturing moments and revealing to others a very personal view of life. The possibilities are virtually unlimited.
Anyone with this discriminating approach to photography will soon discover that perfect photographs also need to be seen in the right light. The most effective way, of course, is on a large screen, in brilliant colour. And for that, the best projector is just about good enough.
Rollei has been building slide projectors for more than 35 years. For 35 mm and medium-format. Rollei slide projectors have a superb reputation for their innovative technology, uncompromising quality and outstanding ease of operation. For example, the professional Rolleivision 66 and the unique dissolve projector, Rolleivision twin MSC 535 P.
These products are the result of a concept, which, through pioneering solutions in slide photography, has repeatedly provided a fresh stimulus to the market. In the private sector as in science and technology, in training sessions, seminars, presentations or professional slide shows. The Rolleivision 66 dual P is a projector that is geared precisely to the needs and wishes of its users. The designers took into account that the picture and slide formats tend to be different in the private segment than they are in the semi-professional sector or in schools, advertising agencies or companies.
They came up with a true multi-format projector for slide mounts with outside measurements of 7 x 7 and 5 x 5 cm for the most common negative formats of 6 x 6, 4.5 x 6, 4 x 4 and 24 x 36 mm. It is a unique projector with innovative technology, sophisticated features and an excellent range of lenses.

The multi-format professional

Professional possibilities
The Rolleivision 66 dual P is the result of Rollei‘s many years of experience in the construction of high-grade slide projectors. Apart from its unique multi-format concept, it offers functions and modes, which are regarded as exemplary in sophisticated projection.

• First of all, the previously mentioned ability to handle the 6 x 6, 4.5 x 6, 4 x 4 cm and 24 x 36 mm formats via two different magazines. Comfortable pre-sorting of the slides on the monitor
• A bright illuminated monitor on the top of the housing allows comfortable presorting of the slides.
• With the Variofade technique, the slides can be faded in and out anywhere in the magazine at speeds of 0.1, 2.5 and 5 sec, thus creating impressive dissolve effects between CUT and SOFT.
• Using the memo button on the remote control, up to 16 slides can be tagged during the presentation and then called up again when the magazine has come to an end.
• Three slide screen times (4, 8 and 12 sec) can be preselected via the timer for automatic projection.
• The ?auto-reverse“ mode, which can be programmed for slides 1 – 60, permits automatic magazine return and continuous projection.
• The projector can be connected for audio-assisted and dissolve slide shows; it also has a V-24 PC interface for linking up to the multimedia world.

Focus on operating comfort

• The Rolleivision 66 dual P can be adjusted for 6 x 6 or 35mm magazines in no time at all. Inserting the magazine and start-up take a matter of seconds.
• An integrated autofocus system with override function ensures optimum focusing on the screen – superfast and with precision accuracy.
• The interval light is automatically switched on stand-by mode before projection starts and after the magazine has run through.
• The projector recognises empty magazine compartments and triggers a shutter to cut out sudden brightness on the screen.
• If a lamp fails, the spare lamp switches on automatically.
• All the functions can be comfortably controlled via the infrared remote control, which can be removed from the housing.

Maximum reliability
The Rolleivision 66 dual P is also equipped with the unique MSC technology (Multi Sensor Control). This means microprocessor- controlled direct drive, which ensure maximum functional reliability, freedom from vibrations and a long life.

Superior technology for comfortable, professional presentations

Be your own director with the remote control
You will find everything you need for a live projection on the hand-held infrared remote control. You can start and end the slide show, give the command for forward or backward projection, activate the preset slide screen time (timer) for an automatic advance, interrupt it at any time, fine-tune the focus by hand, set the dissolve times from CUT to SOFT in three steps and, using the memo button, tag up to 16 slides you would like to show again at the end of the presentation.
You can direct the whole show from your armchair or anywhere else in the room. And there are no cords or cables to worry about either. The clear arrangement of the different sized buttons means you have everything under control at all times, even though it may be dark.
For external operation, the IR remote control operates with a 9V battery pack and has a particularly wide range.

Automatic focusing
The autofocus ensures that, once the basic setting has been made manually, the reset is looked after automatically during projection. It all happens so quickly, the audience hardly notices.
In certain circumstances, especially with different types of mount, it may be necessary to fine-tune the sharpness on the remote control using the override facility. For the next slide change, the autofocus is automatically activated again.

Sophisticated lighting system
The 24V/250W halogen lamp, in combination with the fully coated condenser system, ensures optimum illumination. To adapt the light to the room conditions or to the size of the screen, the output can be reduced in 5 % stages via a 5-step dimmer.
An automatic voltage stabiliser protects the lamp from overload where fluctuations occur in the mains voltage. Should the lamp fail during the presentation, the projector automatically switches to the spare lamp – a process that goes virtually unnoticed. An LED indicates that the spare lamp is in use and that the defective lamp should be replaced as soon as possible.
A particularly quiet but powerful axial fan takes care of the heat problems and keeps the slides at the right temperature. For safety reasons, it also operates when the lamp is switched off. In the case of a malfunction, an integrated overload cut-out prevents any damage to the projector or the slide.

Automatic return and continuous projection
In ?autoreverse“ position, the magazine is returned to slide 1 with the lamp switched off after the last slide. The projector starts again according to the set screen time.
Continuous projection can be programmed for slides 1 – 60 or parts thereof.

Unique transport system for medium format and 35 mm
For 6 x 6 and 4.5 x 6 picture formats, the so-called 77 standard magazines are used. For 4 x 4 and 24 x 36 (with the appropriate mask, also 18 x 24 half-formats), the DIN 108 standard magazines for 35 mm can be used.
Rollei‘s interconnectable magazines are particularly recommended. They can easily be hooked into one another during projection and, in conjunction with the magazine track extension (optional extra), allow several magazines to be projected without interruption, one after the other.
This is of particular interest for professional purposes and where a larger number of slides are used in dissolve projection with a second projector.
The Rollei interconnecting magazines are available for 30 medium-format slides under the name CM 77/30 and for 50 35mm slides under the name CM 55/50.
With the Rolleivision 66 dual P, a precision slide control ensures accurate position all the time. The magazine track is open, so that corrections to the picture sequence can be made at any time during the presentation.

Synchronised audio slide show
In combination with the side synchronizer and a tape recorder or cassette recorder, the Rolleivision 66 dual P can also be used for sound-backed automatic slide shows (via the 8-pin socket).

Premium-quality lenses

The demanding slide photographer will automatically make sure he uses a top quality lens for shooting his pictures. The emphasis is on sharpness, contrast, colour rendition and resolving power. But all this does not help very much if the projection lens is unable to reproduce on the screen all the fine details captured in the transparency.
This is why Rollei has been working for several decades with the world famous lens specialists, Schneider-Kreuznach. The lenses marketed under the name AVXenotar have received praise and recognition among experts all over the globe.
Rollei has now gone a step further. Using the very latest computing techniques, Rollei has developed a number of new lenses in Brunswick especially for the Rolleivision 66 dual P.
These fast Rollei AV-Apogon projection lenses are specifically for AV application and for use in teaching and science. Their performance is impressive. They have exceptional resolving power, outstanding brilliance and optimum brightness distribution.
All supported by Rollei‘s proprietary HFT (High Fidelity Transfer) multilayer coating system, which eliminates
troublesome reflections and colour fringes and guarantees absolutely faithful colour rendition.
A complete range of lenses is available for the Rolleivision 66 dual P to fit in with any room and screen size:
The fast Rollei AV-Apogon 90 mm f/2.8 and 120 mm f/2.8 HFT. The 120 mm AVApogon is regarded as the standard lens for projection with 7 x 7 and 5 x 5 slide mounts.
The Schneider range includes the AVXenotar 90 mm f/3.5, 150 mm f/2.8, 250 mm f/4 and 400 f/4 HFT.
The lenses for the Rolleivision 66 dual P also fit the previous models, the Rollei P11, P66 AF, P66 S and Rolleivision 66/66 AV.

The fascination of dissolve projection

Anyone wishing to present a rather more sophisticated slide show will need to look at the enormous possibilities offered by dissolve projection. With two or more Rolleivision 66 dual P projectors, a dissolve option offers a wide variety of creative options – from flowing picture fade-overs at various speeds to special effects such as blinking, flashing, alternating and sandwich, to mention but a few. All these effects help to stimulate the mood of the audience and enhance the effectiveness of the presentation. The peak is an opticalacoustic dissolve presentation, which allows a programmed reproduction with synchronous picture and sound via a stereo tape recorder or cassette recorder, a CD player or direct from a PC.
Two Rolleivision 66 dual P projectors can be comfortably placed on top of each other with the AV kit (optional extra). It represents a space-saving alternative to conventional projection racks. A number of commercial pulse generators can be connected via the 14-pin dissolve terminal.
Dissolve control units from e.g. Stumpfl, Bassgen, and m.objects are suitable. In combination with a tape recorder (multi-track cassette recorder), the selected effects can be recorded on tape during the presentation in the form of control pulses in real time. The show can then be called up any number of times in sync with the sound.
With a dissolve software program, slide shows can also be designed and programmed completely on a computer.
