The Egoltronics 1010 is a large format dodging enlarger with electronically selected automatic exposure and dodging control and optional computer controlled autofocus. Aerial negatives up to 10 x 10 inches (25 x 25cm) can be enlarged up to 4.5x with the 300mm lens provided; smaller formats can be enlarged up to 12.5x with a 135mm lens. A motorized roll film transport is available as an option. The 1010 is available in the following models: Autofocus (1010AE), Tip/Tilt (1010 T/T), Manual (1010DM), and Horizontal (1010AH)-all features the unique MultiDodge control system.

1010 enlargers are constructed of rugged, solid machined base and column sub-assemblies, providing a stable, vibration-resistant enlarging structure. The motorized easel (1010 AE, and 1010 T/T) runs on chrome runners and roller bearings, are positioned manually or by servo motors under computer control. The easel is topped with a low-gloss white surface of steel, permitting simplified focusing and uncomplicated raw-stock hold-down with ceramic magnets.

The light source is a cathode ray tube (CRT), manufactured to the unique requirements of a high-speed, high-power dodging enlarger. Modulation of the CRT is provided simultaneously in two forms: 1.) The instantaneous faceplate power of the CRT electron beam is varied, producing a change of phosphor luminance; this change, commonly called intensity modulation, provides the most rapid exposures of high-intensity transparencies. 2.) The instantaneous rate-of-change of electron beam position: this method, commonly called velocity modulation, produces the most rapid exposures of low-density negatives. The combination of these two forms of CRT modulation produces the fastest exposures possible with greater control over an extended range.

The control system for the photographic density compensation function is Egoltronics MultiDodge. This device, in conjunction with the CRT and the photo sensing system, monitors local densities on the original transparencies and produces the modulation signals utilized by the CRT. In addition, the MultiDodge generates a prescan operation-an assessment cycle-during which it determines the amount of dodging required, if any, and the correct mid-tone exposure setting.
