1、1 Scope1.1This practice specifies the luminance(measured brightness) of the projection screensfor drive-in theaters intended for the projectionof motion-picture film at 24 frames/sec.1.2The practice defines luminance ratiosamong portions of the total screen area, anddefines the acceptable variations

2、 as viewed frompositions within the audience area.1.3The practice applies to both diffusing anddirectional screens.1.4 Recognizing the complexities and difficultiesof drive-in projection, the practice describescriteria for evaluation of performance that is lessthan optimum, based upon a minimum lumi

11、 screen,and on its horizontal axis, as measured fromthe central position defined in 4.1, shall becompared with the center luminance readingobtained, and shall fall within the range of 55%to 100% of that reading.

16、theater maintenance and adjustment,it is a consensus that there is a working threshold forluminance below which picture quality is noticeablydegraded. Under this condition, the operation becomes verysensitive to sky light, neighboring luminances interfere,adjustment of projection equipment becomes m

17、ore critical,and mood or key variations in the prints become distractingand the presentation begins to lose its artistic purpose.Permissible luminance range is limited by the criterion thata good release print must provide acceptable quality whenprojected at any luminance within the range.A.2 Operat

18、ing luminancePicture quality is most desirable in drive-in theaters whereit is possible to achieve the luminance levels of indoortheaters. This practice recognizes, however, that there aremany drive-in theaters wherein screen sizes, viewing condi -tions, and other factors dictate limitations not enc

19、ounteredin conventional indoor theaters. When a very large screenarea, long projection throw distance, extended viewingdistance, and high ambient light level are involved, it isnecessary to achieve maximum efficiency in all elements ofthe system to ensure acceptable projection results.The values in

20、4.2 and 5.2 represent an operating compro -mise that may be useful. They also describe the minimumcondition for an acceptable projected image where stray andambient light can be considered negligible.A.3 Directional screensA maximum permissible luminance distribution range on agiven screen is specif

21、ied in 5.1 and 5.2. This condition canbe achieved by several procedures, including one or moreof the following: choice of a screen with a suitable reflectionpattern, limitation of the seating area so that no patron viewsthe picture from an angle at which the luminance is outsidethe tolerance of the

22、standard, and screen curvature.Present directional screens show a large variation in gainwith changes in the projection and viewing angles, necessi -tating the 3:1 luminance range in 5.2 when gain screens arefitted into existing theaters. Even this range effectively limitsthe maximum luminance gain

23、of the screen; and the widerthe theater becomes, the lower the maximum luminancegain must be to meet luminance specifications with mostexisting directional screens.A.4 Luminance photometerThe measurement of luminance with uncertainty of less than10% requires a good photometer. Since there are no tru

24、eLambertian surfaces, and even the theatrical matte screensmay depart by more than 10%, the brightness will vary withthe angle of observation. A photometer having a large fieldangle will indicate the average luminance within its field, andif this includes a large area of the screen (or of the screen

25、and surround), this average may be substantially differentfrom the observed brightness. It has been found that withinthe geometric restrictions under which photometers areused in theaters, their luminance indication correlates wellRP 12-1997Page 2 of 3 pageswith the observed brightness if the field

26、angle of thephotometer is about 2 or smaller.A photometer having a small field angle may receive lightfrom such a small screen area as to detect luminance differ -ences due to defects in the screen, imaging of the projectionsource, etc. When measuring the luminances required inclauses 4 and 5, the l

27、uminances of immediately adjacentareas should be observed to be sure the reading is relevant.A.5 Ambient lightRecognizing the limitations in an outdoor environment,every effort should be made to keep ambient light on thescreen to a minimum. This may be done by careful place -ment of the screen and c

28、ontrolling light sources in andaround the theater. Distracting light sources (signs, streetlights, etc.) should be shielded, or kept out of the field ofview of the audience.Annex B (informative)BibliographyANSI/SMPTE 196M-1995, Motion-Picture Film - IndoorTheater Projection - Screen Luminance and ViewingConditions RP 12-1997Page 3 of 3 pages
