  • Synchronex Super8 System consists of the camera and a synchronised c-cassette player. After you finished taking your images, you placed both the film cartridge and the matching tape cassette in a prepaid mailing bag and you mailed to Synchronex Laboratories in New York. Your films were returned to your magnetically striped and lip-synchronized, ready to be played back on any Super8 sound-om-film (magetic) projector. See the section on Synchronex cameras
