16mm sound formats
- mono - various types (mauer, single track, etc) (stereo was developed in the 1990s and some Eastman projectors have readers for this but no prints were made)
- silent (double perf vs. single perf)
- sound from external sources (digital file, cassette tape, radio, etc.)
- mag stripe (rare for standard projection settings but comes up with home movies and artifacts like Scopitones)
- production elements you may run into (e.g. fullcoat)
- DTS exists in very rare, semi-experimental cases, but this is not something you will run into in an ordinary projection setting.
