Color Television; Selections from the Journal of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.

A collection of 27 articles from the Journal of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) covers the fundamental aspects of color television technology. Introductory articles explain the basic workings of color television within the set and as perceived by the viewer. Other sections deal with: color television systems, color film, color television cameras and studio practices, and color television broadcasting facilities and measurements. These latter two sections deal with ways that production techniques must be modified as a result of the use of color equipment. The papers are technical in style. A bibliography of additional papers on color television, a set of SMPTE standards and recommended practices, and an index to all current standards and practices are included. (JY)
