SMPTE ST 117M-2001 Motion-Picture Film Photographic Audio Record Spectral Diffuse Density.pdf

1、1 ScopeThis standard supplements ISO 5-2 and ISO 5-3 byspecifying spectral conditions suitable for determiningthe sensitometric characteristics of photographicaudio records on three-component subtractive colorfilms having records made up of dye images plussilver or a metallic salt. It does not apply

2、 to the densitymeasurement of records composed of dyes only. Theconditions of this standard are applicable to systemsof audio reproduction using the S-1 photosurface. It isrecognized that there are other types of photosurfacesused for photographic audio reproduction that do notfall within the scope

3、of this standard. This standarddefines a practical condition by means of which it isexpected that most density measurements will bemade.2 Normative referencesThe following standards contain provisions which,through reference in this text, constitute provisions ofthis standard. At the time of publica

4、tion, the editionsindicated were valid. All standards are subject torevision, and parties to agreements based on thisstandard are encouraged to investigate the possibilityof applying the most recent edition of the standardsindicated below.ISO 5-2:2001, Photography Density Measure-ments Part 2: Geome

12、ling within the 20-nm bandwidth.Annex A (informative)Additional dataIn three-component subtractive color films, dyes or colorcouplers are used to form the photographic image. Thesecolor materials are designed primarily for the visual region,but audio-record reproduction via the S-1 photosurfacesuses

13、 the infrared region of approximately 700 nm to 900 nm,which is far enough away from the visual region so that thecolor materials cannot be used efficiently, but close enoughso that they produce a measurable effect. The spectralcharacteristics of this effect depend on the type of light-absorbing mat

14、erial used for the audio record, and on themanner in which the audio record is processed. Therefore,in order to obtain uniformity of audio record densitometryamong different films and density-measuring instruments, itis necessary to specify the spectral conditions under whichthese density measurements are made. It is the aim of thisstandard to define these conditions sufficiently to ensurereasonable uniformity of density measurements, yet notso rigidly as to make impractical the obtaining of suchmeasurements.SMPTE 117M-2001Page 2 of 2 pages
