Color Television vs. Color Motion Pictures
The technical capabilities and limitations of color television and color photography are compared in five categories: (1) the viewing situation, (2) image photometry, (3) image colorimetry, (4) image structure and (5) image continuity. The results of a detailed survey of the practices of motion-picture theaters and the 8mm and 16mm motion-picture systems are compared with the current performance obtained by 21-in, color-television receivers. Tables comparing these systems are presented. The avenues open to television and photographic engineers to improve the respective systems are pointed out.
