The Design of Television Color Rendition

The fundamentals of colorimetry are examined as they apply to color television. Human color responses are subjective and highly variable. Nevertheless an approach is presented which should permit pleasing results to be obtained with a high probability. Of concern is the design of the spectral transmission of the color-splitting optics used with the television camera. This is coupled with the use of electronic matrixing and considerations of signal-to-noise ratio, luminous sensitivity and camera tube lag.
