The ARRIFLEX 16 SR-HS II
The ARRIFLEX 16 SR-HS II is a development of the 16SR-
HS. The exposure control system is the same as in the 16
SR II, the automatic exposure control is, however, a
standard fixture.
Both manual exposure control and automatic exposure
control (when using lenses with spring loaded diaphragm)
can thus be used, The frame speed of the 16 SR-HS II can
be adjusted steplessly from 10 -150 fps with the Variable
Speed Unit (VSU). There is a special scale graded from 10 -
150 fps available for use with the VSU, but the standard 16
SR II scale graded from 5 -75 fps can also be used; the set
reading need only be doubled to obtain the actual frame
speed. With the exposure meter, the frame speed is
automatically taken into account.
The noise level, at 25 fps 32 dB (A) and at150 fps 56 dB (A),
is relatively low.
A trouble-free run for the complete frame speed range can
only be guaranteed when the threaded film is not colder than
-5°C (23°F). The camera is also fitted with a rev Iimiter which
automatically switches the camera off when a speed of 165
fps is reached. With the exception of the magazines, the
complete range of the 16 SR mechanical, optical, electronic
and electrical accessories can be used with the 16 SR-HS II.
The standard magazines for the 16 SR II are built with a
spring-Ioaded pressure plate and for a focal plane
measurement of 52 mm. The 16 SR-HS II needs a special
magazine with a rigid pressure gate and the high speed film
run makes a film channel with a focal plane measurement of
51,970 mm necessary. To avoid confusion with the
magazines, the 16SR-HS II magazines are finished in an
attractive grey.
