Nuoptix has taken the problems historically associated with optical sound tracks and solved them with an integrated system.

The Nuoptix SORS/D controls each of the four ribbons of the Nuoptix Stereo Light Valve individually. The Nuoptix recording package uses a Stereo photocell to monitor the exact amount of light transmitted by the Stereo Light Valve so that the SORS/D dual digital read-outs can display the actual dimensions of the tracks and provide audio monitoring of the recording process.

The digital monitoring provides precise feedback for adjusting track spacing and bias line size accurately and easily, which greatly improves the sound quality. The ribbon displacement controls allow the system to make monaural or stereo recordings, at the flip of a switch, without compromising either format.

The Nuoptix SORS/D utilizes a digital anticipatory noise reduction. This feature, the hallmark of all Nuoptix systems, eliminated the transient distortion and the muted sound of older optical recording systems.

Each Nuoptix system includes an Auxiliary Optical System (AOS) which completes the electronic package. The AOS features a digital metered Constant Current Recording Lamp Power Supply and digital Test Signal Generator with true Pink Noise.

Nuoptix also offers a complete conversion of a monaural 1231 type Light Valve recorders to Stereo. We convert your old monaural valve to a Nuoptix Stereo valve and realign the optical system. The conversion also includes stereo photocells, photocell preamplifier, and a two-axis quartz halogen lamp assembly. With each system, our engineers align and calibrate the equipment then provide personal training for you and your engineers at our facility.
