Photography and Television: How to Compare Them: A Synopsis
We propose a criterion to compare photographic films and television tubes on a common basis. It is based on calculating the product of the signal-to-noise ratio times the spatial bandwidth, e.g., SNR·Ψ. We show how to make the pertinent calculations without measurements of any sort, directly from manufacturer's data. Results are given for film and television tube. They are summarized on the accompanying figure which shows relative performance between film and television, and with respect to the ideal quantum detector.
