Colour Films for Colour Television
Although a high proportion of colour television programmes includes films made specially for television presentation, the technical characteristics of the prints shown still tend to be suited more to optical projection than they are to the newer medium. The long experience of the motion-picture industry enables it to produce prints which are wholly acceptable to cinema audiences from the viewpoints of contrast, detail and colour fidelity but broadcasting organisations are finding that their requirements are not identical with those of the cinema theatre. Technical characteristics which are desirable for the cinema do not necessarily suffice for colour television. There are many problems to be dealt with before colour film and colour television can successfully be married, and this paper describes some of the difficulties encountered.
