Some Commercial Aspects of a New 16-Mm Intermediate Film Television System
Theater television requires picture quality comparable to that attained in feature film releases, and flexibility in program scheduling comparable to television broadcasting. A new 16-mm intermediate film system designed for these requirements is described. The system includes video recording equipment for pickup of coaxial-line or broadcast programs, high-intensity film projection equipment, and an automatic rapid film processor. The use of the rapid film processor is discussed in connection with delay techniques for adequate program scheduling. General operating characteristics are analyzed in terms of economics of the system.
