The Evertz Universal Film Reader/Decoder system provides multi-format reader head and decoder unit that will handle all the major film formats and all the various codes presently in use. All in one easy to install head and a separate 1RU decoder unit. This new breakthrough technology vastly simplifies the telecine bay operation by having a complete solution in one system while providing scalable purchase options.

Evertz KeyKode reader heads can be mounted on a telecine or other film transport, to recover KeyKode and Film Time code numbers from 16, super 16, 35 or 65mm film.

Operationally the design is absolute simplicity. When switching between 16 or 35mm film, there are no levers, adjustments or realignments involved on most telecines.

With the Evertz combination KeyKode reader system, varying film densities, negative and positive material are handled with ease. The Evertz universal decoder unit (model 5550) features a simple to use automatic light and sensor control.
