1、 1 Scope 1.1 This standard specifies the maximum dimensions of the film image area intended for projection and its relative position to the reference edge and the perforations of 8-mm type S motion-picture film, as specified in SMPTE 149. 1.2 This standard also specifies the projection frame rate fo
2、r 8-mm type S motion-picture film. 2 Emulsion and film position 2.1 For original reversal film, the emulsion side shall be toward the projection lens. For prints, the emulsion position is dependent upon the process of preparation and either emulsion-to-light-source or emulsion-to-projection-lens ori
3、entation may be encountered. The actual emulsion position should be indicated on the leader and film container by notation or diagram. 2.2 The perforation used for the film-positioning device shall be two perforations following the perforation adjacent to the projected aperture when the positioning
4、device is at the end of its stroke (the minus-2 position). This location coincides with that of the positioning device required for 8-mm type S camera original films and thereby improves steadiness through cancellation. 3 Dimensions The dimensions shall be as given in figure 1 and table 1. 4 Project
5、ion frame rate 4.1 The standard frame rate for motion-picture projection is 24 frames per second. However, it is recognized that nonstandard 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,
6、 higher or lower frame rates may be used for special effects and analysis, and nonstandard rates may be used for special motion-picture systems. The use of nonstandard frame rates requires notification and agreement of all parties concerned with the use of the particular film. 4.2 A projection frame
7、 rate of 18 frames per second shall be used for nonprofessional films containing an audio record which was recorded for 18-frame projection.

10、es of the image area are given for convenience in interpreting the standard, facilitating such applications as the optical design of equipment, and assisting in the understanding of suitable mechanical embodiments related to projectable image area. Note that the centerline of the projectable image a
11、rea is displaced from the centerline of the film by 0.013 in (0.33 mm) nominal. A.2 Because of the increased intensity of illumination available in modern 8-mm projection systems, the industry has found it desirable to extend the flicker threshold by choosing as high a projection rate (and, therefor
12、e, as high a flicker frequency) as practicable. A projection rate of 18 frames per second and a corresponding flicker frequency of 54 Hz (obtained with a three-blade shutter) has been found by experience to be an acceptable compromise. A.3 Dimension H is measured lengthwise along the path of the fil
13、m from the bottom of the maximum image area projected by the aperture to the bottom of the frame-positioning perforation (two perforations following the perforation adjacent to the projected image). A.4 Dimensions B, D, and E define the maximum image area on the film that is available for projection
14、. They do not define the opening in the aperture plate of a projector. The size of this opening may differ from dimensions A and B, for example, because of the physical separation necessary between the aperture plate and the film to avoid scratching the film, the slant of the marginal rays accepted
15、by the projection lens, etc. A.5 This standard may be used as the basis for establishing picture areas from original photography for final viewing because it presents a description of the picture area on the projection print and is consistent with commercial practices specified in SMPTE 153 and SMPTE 157.
