The term SyncSound describes the suitability of film cameras for using the original sound.

Background: Older or cheaper film cameras are so loud that the original sound cannot be used, so that noises and conversations in a sound studio have to be played back in sync with the film. This production method was common for feature films before 1980.

For SyncSound the cameras have to run studio quiet (noise less than 24 dB). This is achieved through sound insulation integrated into the camera (known as a blimp in technical jargon ). Since the early 1970s, so-called self-blurred cameras have been offered. Their highest frame rate (for slow motion) is 60 to 70 frames per second. The leading providers were Panavision and Arnold & Richter Cine Technik (Arri).

Arri refers to these types as the ArriCam series. This series is subdivided again into the ArriCam ST (for studio, heavier and quieter) and the ArriCam LT (for light, lighter and louder, suitable for steadicam ).
