10、splice-free, and of the low-shrinkage, safety type in compliance with SMPTE 223M. 4.1.1 Test films shall be cut and perforated in accordance with dimensions specified in SMPTE 139. 4.2 The film stock shall be conditioned for 10 days at 20C 3C (68F 5.4F) at a relative humidity of (50 10)% prior to re

11、cording. 4.3 The film shall be recorded and packaged within the temperature and humidity limits specified in 4.2. The recorded film shall be packaged in a metal can and sealed either with a low-moisture permeability plastic tape or a fabric tape having a moisture barrier. 5 Identification Each test

12、film shall be suitably identified to include the date of manufacture. 6 Test sections 6.1 Reference level A sine wave with a frequency of 1000 Hz 2% shall be recorded ahead of the azimuth section, having an absolute short circuit record level of 185 nWb/m 10 nWb/m, for a duration of approximately 30

13、 seconds. (This film is classified as a type U by the ISO because of the 185 nWb reference level, as compared with the type E which specifies a 320 nWb reference level.) 6.2 Azimuth A frequency of 16 kHz 2% shall be recorded ahead of the pink noise section having an absolute short circuit recorded l

14、evel of 25.89 nWb/m for a duration of approximately 30 seconds. 6.3 Pink noise The pink noise test signal used for this section shall have equal energy in equal logarithmic frequency intervals within the audio bandwidth. The lower limit shall correspond to the lower bandwidth of a 31.5-Hz octave ban

15、d filter of the ANSI class II type, and the upper limit to the upper bandwidth of a 16-kHz octave RP 127-2004 Page 3 of 4 pages band filter of the ANSI class II type. (Test bandwidths must be within these limits.) The level in each one-third octave band from 40 Hz to 12.5 kHz shall be the same withi

16、n 1 dB. The pink noise signal shall be recorded so that there shall be a low statistical probability of the extreme peaks within the signal saturating the magnetic film. The peak level of the wide band pink noise spectrum shall be essentially equal to that of the corresponding frequency response tes

17、t segments. The recorded pink noise shall have the characteristic specified in 6.5 and a duration of approximately 30 seconds. (The pink noise may also be used for multitrack azimuth adjustment using an oscilloscope lissajous figure from the two outside tracks of multitrack equipment.) 6.4 Frequency

18、 response The 1000-Hz frequencies of this multifrequency section shall be recorded at the reference level of 185 nWb/m. The following test segment frequencies in hertz 2% shall be sine waves recorded in the order given: 1000, 31.5, 40, 50, 80, 100, 160, 400, 1000, 2500, 4000, 6300, 8000, 10 000, 12

19、500, 16 000, 1000. 6.5 Recorded levels With a constant-amplitude sine-wave signal applied to the input of the recording system, the relative characteristic in effective values of the short-circuit magnetic flux versus frequency shall decrease with increasing frequency proportionately to the impedanc

20、e of a parallel combination of a capacitance and a resistance having a time constant of = 35 s. (A time constant is a shortband notation, such as illustrated by a frequency response curve, having a shape which results from a time constant of one or more microseconds. This is a convenient way of defi

21、ning a response curve and is never intended as a recommended electrical circuit.) The characteristic defined above is obtained by the following calculation: Lre 185 nWb/m = 0.20511 10 log101 + (2)2f2 dB where Lis the recorded relative short-circuit magnetic flux level in decibels, f is the frequency

22、 in hertz for which Lis computed, is a time constant of 35 s, and 0.20511 is a constant calculated to make L= 0 at the reference frequency of 1000 Hz. The approximate numerical values are given in table 1. 6.6 Flux level variation The film flux level at each frequency from 31.5 Hz through 16 kHz sha

23、ll be within 0.5 dB of the value specified in 6.5. 6.7 Duration The duration of frequency response test segments shall be approximately 10 seconds, except for the 16-kHz tone which shall be approximately 30 seconds for azimuth and high-frequency equalization adjustment.
