1、 1 Scope This practice describes a test film to determine the uniformity of scanning-beam illumination in 16-mm motion-picture photographic audio reproducers. (This test film is not intended to be used for the determination of the correct position of the scanning beam with respect to the reference e

2、dge of the film.) 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this practice. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on

3、this practice are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the standards indicated below.

4、ed positive or a print made directly from an original negative. 3.2 The audio record on the film shall reproduce at a frequency of 1000 Hz 20 Hz when the linear velocity of the film is 24 perforations per second or approximately 36 ft/min (7.2 in or 18.3 cm/s). 3.3 At full modulation, the test recor

5、d shall have a width of 0.0050 in 0.0003 in (0.127 mm 0.008 mm), as measured between opposite amplitude peaks. The waveform shall be sinusoidal. 3.4 The test record shall move laterally at a uniform rate from one edge of the scanned area to the other, as specified in figure 1. 3.5 In any one test fi

6、lm, the combined effect of variation in modulation width and density of the exposed and unexposed areas shall result in a signal amplitude variation not exceeding 0.8 dB with respect to the average signal amplitude.

9、ted edge of the film shall be called the outboard edge, and the opposite edge shall be called the inboard edge. 4.2 centerline sweep: The centerline sweep of the test track is defined as the lateral displacement of the centerline of the test track from its initial position to its final position. Dim

10、ension D is the nominal centerline sweep. RP 81-2004 Page 3 of 4 pages 4.3 total test track sweep: The total test track sweep is defined as the sum of the centerline sweep and the overall width of the test track. Dimension C is the nominal total sweep. 5 Dimensions The dimensions and position of the

11、 audio track shall be as specified in figure 1 and table 1. Dimension A extends to the outboard edge of the test track in its initial position. Dimension B extends to the inboard edge of the test track in its final position. Dimensions A and B shall be measured at points opposite the first image are

12、a frameline next to the start and end splice of the test record negative. Dimension C, nominal total sweep, is 0.002 in (0.05 mm) less than the width of the scanning slit to avoid scanning of the edge of the slit. 6 Film stock 6.1 The film stock, preferably polyester, shall be splice-free, of the lo

13、w-shrinkage, safety type in accordance with SMPTE 223M, and cut and perforated in accordance with long-pitch dimensions specified in SMPTE 109. 6.2 In the event that triacetate film stock is used, it shall be splice-free and shall have a maximum lengthwise shrinkage of 0.50% when tested as follows:

14、At least 20 strips of film approximately 31 inches in length shall be cut for measurement of shrinkage. After normal development and drying (not over 80F 27C), the strips shall be placed at least 14 in apart in racks and kept for seven days in an oven maintained at 120F (49C) and a relative humidity

15、 of 20%. The strips shall then be removed, reconditioned thoroughly to 50% relative humidity at 70F (21C), and the shrinkage measured by a suitable method. The percent shrinkage shall then be calculated on the basis of deviation from the nominal dimension for the length of 100 consecutive perforatio

16、n intervals given in SMPTE 109. 7 Density The exposed track area shall have a minimum diffuse density of 1.20 including base density and the unexposed track area shall have a maximum density of 0.10 above base density. The longitudinal variations of these specified densities shall not result in a re

17、produced output variation exceeding 0.5 dB. 8 Width of exposed area The overall width of the exposed track area shall exceed the maximum variation in the scanned area by no less than 0.010 in (0.25 mm) on each side of the slit. The maximum width of the scanning slit as specified by SMPTE 41 is 0.071

18、 in (1.80 mm). This requires a minimum printed width of 0.107 in (2.72 mm) to ensure a dense area adjacent to the scanned area. 9 Test film length Each test film shall carry a minimum of three identical prints of the total length of the test record. In each, the test record shall start near the edge

19、 of the film and travel toward the image area. The minimum recommended length of the test record shall be approximately 30 ft (9.14 m). NOTE A test film conforming to this practice is available from the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. RP 81-2004 Page 4 of 4 pages Annex A (informa

20、tive) Additional data Before using the test film described in this practice, it is recommended that correct placement of the scanning beam be determined by means of a buzz-track test film as specified in SMPTE RP 67. The uniformity of scanning-beam illumination should be measured by means of a stand

21、ard volume indicator as specified in ANSI/IEEE 152, connected to the output of the optical audio reproducer amplifier. The illumination of the scanning beam should be adjusted according to the instructions furnished by the equipment manufacturer. Variations of the output of the meter should be obser

22、ved while running the full length of one track print, spliced into a loop, through the equipment.
