It introduces two main models: the new slot loader and the upgraded self-threading projector. The slot loader is praised for its lightweight design, ease of use, and film safety—requiring only a simple “S-curve” to thread, with features like automatic loop setting, built-in speakers, and modular construction. The self-threader, long popular among professionals, now includes reduced noise, interchangeable parts, multiple shutter options, and added features like freeze-frame, remote control, reverse playback, and support for large film reels. Both machines share a rugged internal build, easy maintenance, and a 3-year or 1,500-hour warranty. Demonstrations show the projectors handling even severely damaged film with ease. Eiki also offers a wide range of accessories and specialized projectors, including high-brightness Xenon models and auditorium systems, reinforcing its commitment to reliable, professional-grade projection equipment. 0:00 – Shots of a Hollywood movie premiere, John Wayne holding an Oscar and Kirk Douglas walking the red carpet.
