Recent Improvements in Black-and-White Film Recording for Color Television Use

At the 1955 SMPTE Convention at Chicago, a method of recording television images on black-and-white film was described. At that time, certain difficulties regarding light efficiency, noise and image definition were yet to be resolved. In the last year, refinements have been made in the electronic and optical characteristics of the system to the extent that the overall picture quality now compares very favorably with that obtainable on 16mm color film. This paper is concerned with a discussion of how these refinements were achieved.
