1、 Rec. ITU-R BR.265-9 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R BR.265-9*Operating practices for the international exchange of programmes*on film for television use (Question ITU-R 92/6) (1956-1959-1963-1966-1970-1974-1982-1986-1990-1992-1997-2004) The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that the internatio

2、nal exchange of recorded television programmes among broadcasters is currently, and predominantly, based on the exchange of recorded tapes; b) that some television programmes are still exchanged in the form of films; c) that several Recommendations already exist that relate to the international exch

3、ange of television programmes in the form of films; d) that several Recommendations already exist that relate to the subjective assessment of television pictures from telecine reproduction, as well as the viewing conditions, specifications and alignment procedures for television displays; e) that th

4、ere is a need for an up-to-date Recommendation that, while recognizing the prevalence of television tape exchanges, details the operational provisions recommended for the exchange of television programmes in the form of films, recommends 1 that, for the international exchange of television programme

5、s among broadcasters, the exchange of recorded tapes should be the preferred mode of operation; 2 that, in those cases where the exchange of programmes on film is preferred, the films should conform with the specifications given in Annex 1. *This Recommendation should be brought to the attention of

6、the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). *International programme exchange is defined as the transmission of television or sound programme material (or components thereof) among professional parties in different countries. It s

7、hould be based on internationally agreed and widely employed technical standards or operating practices, except by prior bilateral agreement among the parties involved. For the purpose of this Recommendation the term is used to indicate the delivery of programme material on film for use in televisio

8、n. 2 Rec. ITU-R BR.265-9 Annex 1 International exchange of television programmes on film11 Film code words The types of film to which this Recommendation refers are designated by code words in conformity with ISO 3640. The code word consists of a letter and a number (or numbers) followed by a two- o

9、r three-syllable word, for example: C 35 COMOPT. The first letter indicates either monochrome, B, or colour, C, film type. The number, usually 16 or 35, indicates the nominal width of the film in millimetres. The first syllable indicates either a combined sound and picture recording, COM, or separat

10、e sound and picture recordings, SEP. The last syllable indicates whether the sound recording is magnetic, MAG, or optical, OPT: for example: 35 mm colour film with an optical track is C 35 COMOPT; 16 mm monochrome film with a magnetic stripe is B 16 COMMAG; 16 mm colour film with sound on a separate

11、 magnetic film, having one or more tracks, is C 16 SEPMAG. For picture films without sound, the designation is MUTE, for example: B 16 MUTE. If the picture and the sound films have the same width a single number is used. If not, then two numbers separated by an oblique stroke are used, the first ind

12、icating the width of the picture film. For example: 35 mm picture film with magnetic sound track on 16 mm film is 35/16 SEPMAG. An identification of the tracks utilized must be added after the word SEPMAG. For example: 35 SEPMAG (tracks 1 and 3) or 16 SEPMAG (edge track). The appropriate code word s

13、hould be placed on the identification leader of films intended for international exchange of programmes and it should be used in the related correspondence. 1Reference can usefully also be made to Recommendation ITU-R BR.1530 which is intended as a guide to the Recommendations in the BR Series that

14、are relevant to various aspects of the use of film in television. Rec. ITU-R BR.265-9 3 2 Types of films recommended for international exchange of television programmes When the international exchange of television programmes is effected by means of films it should be based on one of the following t

15、ypes: a) 35 COMOPT b) 16 COMOPT2c) 16 COMMAG d) 16 SEPMAG e) 16 MUTE f) S16 SEPMAG3g) 35 MUTE h) 35 COMMAG i) 35 SEPMAG j) S35 SEPMAG. Films of types f), h), i) and j) may only be exchanged by mutual agreement between the organizations concerned. The fundamental technical parameters of each listed t

16、ype should conform to the specifications given below. 3 Specifications for the image film Normally the image on the film should be a photographic positive. The picture (frame) frequency should be either 25 or 24 frames/s. The indication of the picture frequency should accompany any reference to prog

17、ramme duration. Since the white point of colour television systems is either International Commission on Illumination (CIE), Illuminant C or CIE Illuminant D65, adequate prints of colour films may be obtained if the print is balanced for projection by an illuminant approximating the spectral distrib

18、ution of a black body at a colour temperature of 5 400 K4. The print, when so illuminated, should provide a pleasing reproduction of neutral grey and skin colours. Optimum viewing conditions for the appraisal of films for television are specified in Recommen-dation ITU-R BR.1355. The dimensions of t

19、he films and of the images recorded thereon should conform to the appropriate international standards. Recommendation ITU-R BR.1374 provides information on the image area on the various film types. See also ISO 2939 for 35 mm films and ISO 4243 for 16 mm films. 2Although the quality of sound obtaina

20、ble with 16 COMOPT films is marginal, this type cannot be excluded because of its widespread use. 3The sound of Super 16 film programmes must be provided on a separate support (SEP) since there is no space for a sound track on the image film. 4This neutral grey balance is very close to a metameric m

21、atch with a neutral grey in the scene. (The metameric match of two colours of which the spectral compositions are different is obtained when the visual comparison of these two colours does not permit them to be distinguished by the CIE standard observer.) 4 Rec. ITU-R BR.265-9 4 Safe action and safe

22、 title area When films are produced for television by conventional cinematographic methods, allowances should be made for the loss of picture area that occurs both in film-scanning and in consumer receivers. The television-scanned area, the action field and the title and sub-title areas should confo

23、rm to the appropriate international standards (see ISO 1223). Figure 5 shows that the safe action area is roughly 0.9 times the width and height of the full image, and the safe title area is roughly 0.8 times its width and height. Account should also be taken of the fact that a programme on film may

24、 be used for television at an aspect ratio of 4:3 or of 16:9. The solution to the problem is detailed in Recommendation ITU-R BR.1374. In addition, some broadcasters have introduced the practice of using an aspect ratio of 14:9 to televise 35 mm wide-screen films during the period when their audienc

25、e will use both 4:3 and 16:9 receivers. This practice is detailed in Recommendation ITU-R BR.1441. 5 Specifications for film sound tracks 5.1 COMOPT types The preferred types of optical sound tracks are variable area, bilateral or double bilateral. The nominal optical sound-recording characteristic

26、for 35 mm and 16 mm film is that which produces a constant modulation of its optical transmission as a function of frequency within the given frequency range on the sound track of the film when a sine-wave signal of constant amplitude is fed into the input of the recording channel. The corresponding

27、 nominal reproducing characteristic is that which produces a sine-wave output signal whose level is independent of frequency when reproducing a sound-track recorded with the nominal recording characteristic specified above. The preferred method of calibrating a reproducing chain is by means of a sta

28、ndard test film recorded with a number of audio sine-waves producing constant modulation of the optical transmission. 5.1.1 35 COMOPT The location and dimensions of picture frames and sound track of 35 COMOPT films should conform to the appropriate international standard (see ISO 2939 and Recommenda

29、tion ITU-R BR.1374). The sound record should be in advance of the centre of the corresponding picture by 20 0.5 frames. 5.1.2 16 COMOPT The location and dimensions of picture frames and sound track should conform to the appropriate international standards (see ISO 359, ISO 4243 and Recommendation IT

30、U-R BR.1374). The sound record should be in advance of the centre of the corresponding picture by 26 0.5 frames. Rec. ITU-R BR.265-9 5 5.2 COMMAG types 5.2.1 35 COMMAG The location and dimensions of the magnetic sound stripe should be as given in Fig. 3. The sound record should be behind the centre

31、of the corresponding picture by 28 0.5 frames. The magnetic sound stripe should be on the side of the film towards the lens of a projector arranged for direct projection on to a reflecting screen. If a balancing stripe is used, it should have the same thickness as the magnetic sound stripe. No sound

32、 recording should be made on the balancing stripe. The recording and reproducing characteristics should conform to ISO 1189. In practice the appropriate standard film will be used. 5.2.2 16 COMMAG The location and dimensions of the magnetic sound stripes of 16 COMMAG films should conform to ISO 490.

33、 They are given in Fig. 1. The sound record should be in advance of the centre of the corresponding picture by 28 0.5 frames. The magnetic stripe should be on the side of the film that faces the light source of a projector arranged for direct projection onto a reflecting-type screen. The maximum add

34、itional thickness due to the magnetic coating should be 0.02 mm. If a balancing magnetic stripe is used, it should have the same thickness as the main magnetic stripe. No sound recording should be made on the balancing stripe. The recording and reproducing characteristics should conform to ISO 1188.

35、 In practice the appropriate standard film will be used. 5.3 SEPMAG types 5.3.1 35 SEPMAG The separate sound film should be a 35 mm magnetic film of standard dimensions and perforations. The location and dimensions of the sound tracks should conform to ISO 162, as shown in Fig. 4. The allocation of

36、tracks on the separate 35 mm magnetic film should be as follows: for some countries (e.g. Region 1): track No. 1: left channel, track No. 2: right channel, track No. 3: mono or blank, for other countries (e.g. Regions 2 and 3): track No. 1: mono, track No. 2: left channel, track No. 3: right channel

The recording and reproducing characteristics should conform to ISO

47、1188. In practice the appropriate standard film will be used. 5.4 Other provisions for sound tracks 5.4.1 Multiple sound tracks The COM and SEP types should not be combined. That is to say, if one or more sound tracks are provided on a separate film, only the SEP tracks should be used for reproducti

Provisions related to the use of sound tracks recorded with noise reduction and matrix surround sound are given in Recommendation ITU-R BR.1422. 5.4.2 Absolute polarity of sound recording For optical

49、 tracks, a positive audio signal5shall correspond to increasing optical transmittance of the sound track. 5The definition of a positive audio signal is given in EBU Recommendation R50 An audio signal is deemed to be positive when it results from an increase in the acoustic pressure on the microphone diaphragm, and thus in the displacement of the diaphragm towards the rear.
