SMPTE ST 7-2004 Motion-Picture Film (16-mm) - Camera Aperture Image and Usage.pdf

1、 1 Scope 1.1 This standard specifies the dimensions of the camera aperture image and its relative position to the reference edge and the perforations of 16-mm motion-picture film. The location of the perforations is based on dimensions given in SMPTE 109. 1.2 This standard also specifies the positio

2、n of the emulsion and the frame rate for 16-mm motion-picture film perforated one or two edges. 2 Film position Except for special processes, the emulsion shall be toward the camera lens. 3 Dimensions 3.1 The dimensions shall be as given in figure 1 and table 1 and shall apply to measurements of the

3、 aperture image as formed on freshly exposed and processed film. 3.2 The angle between the vertical and horizontal edges of the aperture image shall be 90 to each other. 4 Frame rate 4.1 The standard frame rate for motion-picture photography is 24 frames per second. However, it is recognized that no

4、nstandard frame rates are sometimes used for specific applications. For example: 24, 25, or 30 frames per second may be used for motion pictures intended for television; higher or lower frame rates may be used for special effects and analysis; and nonstandard rates may be used for special motion-pic

5、ture systems. The use of nonstandard frame rates requires notification and agreement of all parties concerned with the use of the particular film. NOTES 1 Dimension B, vertical height of aperture, must be maintained in order to ensure a real (unexposed) frameline in the projector. Close control of t

6、he tolerances given for dimension B is necessary to enable dimensions F and H to be held within satisfactory limits. These are the distances from the lower edge of the perforation to the horizontal edges of the framelines. Dimensions F and H represent the maximum conditions which can be tolerated du

7、e to misalignment of the horizontal centerline of the aperture opening and the optical centerline of the photographic lens. Dimensions B, F, G, and H shall be measured to lines that are at right angles to the reference edge of the film and through a point where the radius (dimension R) is tangent to

8、 the horizontal framelines (see figure 1). 2 The centerlines of the aperture image are normally on the optical center of the camera. The optical axis of the camera is defined as the mechanical axis or centerline of the sleeve or other device for holding the camera lens. Except for manufacturing tole

9、rances, it coincides with the optical axis of the lens. Page 1 of 3 pagesSMPTE 7-2004 Revision of SMPTE 7-1999 Copyright 2004 by THE SOCIETY OF MOTION PICTURE AND TELEVISION ENGINEERS 595 W.

12、2004 Page 3 of 3 pages Annex A (informative) Additional data A.1 If the aperture plate is not in the plane of the emulsion, the physical dimensions of the aperture in the camera will be slightly different from the dimensions given in figure 1. The exact amount of this difference will depend upon the

13、 f-number and focal length of the camera lenses used and upon the distance between the emulsion and the physical aperture. This separation should be no greater than is necessary to prevent scratching of the film. A.2 It is the intent of this standard to provide a camera image such that the exposed a

14、rea will always be larger than the area of the projector aperture. This standard meets this objective without causing double exposure of the area between frames. A.3 Dimension G, the distance between adjacent framelines, has been limited carefully so as to make it possible to keep both framelines ma

15、sked simultaneously by the projector aperture. In addition, dimensions F and H have been established to limit the distance that any part of the frameline can depart from the bottom edge of the perforations. This is to minimize the necessity for frequent adjustment of the framing device on the projec

16、tor. A.4 The pull-down claw is located at the plus-3 perforation (see figure 1) with respect to the projector or camera aperture. The reason for selecting the plus-3 perforation for positioning is to obtain the positioning perforation as close as possible to the image being photographed, yet not so close as to interfere with the optical system and gate structure.
