With the onset of the Super 8/Single 8 era, Canon shifted its emphasis to more affordable projectors. On the contrary, more and more advanced amateurs were calling for high-end projectors. For this reason, Canon developed the CINE PROJECTOR T-1, a high-end model with sprocket drive. It was the Super 8 version of the AUTO PROJECTOR 8Z, Canon’s high-end Regular 8 projector.

Lip-sync projection, a major requirement of advanced amateurs, was achieved by electronic motor control using signals from a tape recorder. The light source was a high-efficiency tungsten-halogen lamp. Combined with the newly developed PS 17-28mm f/1.0 zoom lens, the lamp delivered highly improved large-size projection. This model was very well accepted as the top-end projector.
