The Interface of Color Negative Film and Telecine

Karel Staes, Walter Markie

This article discusses the interface between color negative film and telecine systems, reviewing basic facts about the negative-positive process, and the spectral responses of telecines and color print film. Figures and equations are provided in a discussion of appropriate interface corrections in color reproduction using different films with different telecines. The article gives details of a telecine alignment that provides a reproducible, easy-handling method yielding excellent color reproduction quality.
