This projector used cartridges loaded with 50’ spools of processed Super8 film and allowed automatic changing and uninterrupted projection of up to six films. At the end of a film, the next cartridge moved into position and began projection, the previous film was then simultaneously rewound automatically inside the cartridge. A reject button also allowed the projector to switch from one cartridge to the next before the film was finished.

The multimatic was advertised as an ideal projector ‘… for children and wherever people want to project films without studying long instruction manuals’. It was also suggested as being perfect for providing entertainment at cocktail parties.
