ANSVSMPTE 239-1 995, Motion-Picture Film (1 6-mm)-Perforated 8-mm Type RI 2R 3 Dimensions 3.1 The dimensions shall be as given in figure 1 and table 1. 3.2 The angle between the horizontal edges of the image area and the reference edge of the film
7、shall be 90“ k Mo. 4 Relationship to other standards 4.1 This standard may be used as the basis for establishing picture areas from original Most 8-mm films are projected with the emulsion toward the screen. There are, however, some systems which produce prints that are projected with the base towar
8、d the screen. 6 Rate of projection The normal rate of projection shall be 18 frames per second for silent film and 24 frames per second for sound film. NOTES 1 Camera and printer apertures. The actual image on the film is significantly larger than the maximum area intended for projection, so that in
9、 placement of the images throughout the sequence of the films the tolerance is not restrictive of commercial practice. Upper limits have been established through consideration of good practice in avoiding frame overlap, encroachment upon areas reserved for audio re- cords, flare from perforation edg
10、es, etc. Lower limits are similarly related to the avoidance of image effects at a defined edge, tolerances in film position, etc. 2 Projector aperture. Dimensions B, D, and E define the maximurn image area on the film that is available for projec- tion. They do not define the opening in the apertur

13、a projector. The size of this opening may differ from dimen- sions A and B, for example, because of the physical sepa- ration necessary between the aperture plate and the film to avoid scratching the film, the slant of the marginal rays accepted by the projection lens, etc. 3 Actual projected area.
14、It is recognized that, in many cases, the actual film image area that is projected may be smaller than the projectable maximum and, in some cases, may be nonrectangular (for example, an irregular four-sided figure bound by either straight or curved lines). Such depar- tures may result from equipment
15、 considerations such as slight inconsistencies among lenses, screen sizes, etc.; from geometric limitations such as the screen surface being at an angle other than 90“ from the projection axis, or being nonplanar, or both; and from aesthetic considerations such as pictorial composition within more r
16、estrictive image limits. In the absence of specific instructions to the contrary, it is intended that the actual projected film image area be the largest appropriately-shaped figure that can be inscribed within the specified dimensions. When the picture outline on the screen is defined by the projec
17、tor aperture, it is customary to round the comers of the projected film area. A maximum corner radius of 0.01 O in (0.25 mm) at the film plane is recommended. 4 Film perforations. Film intended for projection with this image area is normally perforated as specified in ANSVSMPTE 231. I I I- l FILM IM

21、rojectable image areas. Note that the centerline of the projectable image area is displaced from the centerline of the film by 0.048 in (1.22 mm) nominal. Annex B (informative) Bibliography A.2 Because of the increased intensity of illumination avail- able in modern 8-mm projection systems, the indu
22、stry has found it desirable to extend the flicker threshold by choosing as high a projection rate (and, therefore, as high a flicker frequency) as practicable. A projection rate of 18 frames per second and a corresponding flicker frequency of 54 cycles per second (obtained with a three-blade shutter) have been found by experience to be an acceptable compromise.
