The pink noise test signal shall be recorded at such a level that there is a low statistical probability of peaks exceeding the peak-to-peak amplitude of the reference level. This condition can be ver

20、ified by observing the pink noise signal on an oscilloscope connected to a playback preamplifier when compared with the peak-to-peak signal indicated by the reference level.

23、termined by means of the calibrated short-gap ferromagnetic core reproducer technique described in ANSI S4.6. 4.2 Method The test film shall be calibrated for frequency response using a reproducing head with gap widths made in accordance with SMPTE 137. 4.3 Flux level variation with frequency The fi

24、lm flux level at each frequency from 31.5 Hz through 12.5 kHz shall be within 0.5 dB of the value specified in 3.3.3 when measured with an instrument specified in 4.8. (Flux level variation is defined for the purposes of this clause as the average reading within each tone segment since variation wit

25、h time is specified in 4.4.) 4.4 Flux level variation with time The flux levels shall not vary more than 0.5 dB within the length of each test segment when measured with a standard volume indicator conforming to ANSI/IEEE 152. 4.5 Pink noise The level in each one-third octave band from 31.5 Hz to 12

RP 143-2004 Page 5 of 5 pages Annex A (informative) Additional data A.1 Test films specified by this practice could be made in many variations: triacetate or polyester base, full- or stripe-coating, and combinations thereof. Use of test material

29、 with substantial physical differences from other material to be run can lead to high-frequency errors. A.2 The difference in compliance between triacetate and polyester bases will establish different head wear patterns as film is run. A change from one base to the other may cause a temporary loss o

30、f high-frequency response until a new wear pattern is established. Therefore, it is recommended that users employ test films having the same film base as that used for the release prints to be run. A.3 SMPTE RP 45 specifies precautions on this subject. Methods of using this film are found in SMPTE E

31、G 13. A.4 The use of an electrical circuit analogy is provided as a useful means of notation only. Each specified RC circuit should be considered separately, without interaction, and the numerical effect added. A.5 Note that release prints are not supplied wound according to the convention in SMPTE

32、EG 12, so the test film is pulled from the supply reel of a conventional projector clockwise, rather than the more common release-print convention of counter-clockwise winding. A.6 This practice calls for 3180 s low-frequency equalization. Equalization with no low-frequency record boost (a time cons

33、tant of infinity) has been shown to better use the overload characteristic vs. frequency of the magnetic medium when recording typical program material. However, there is some theater equipment in the field which reproduces a flat response only when low-frequency record boost has been applied to rec

34、orded material. The use of the 3180 s time constant is seen as a transitional compromise between the best practice that can be obtained currently and the desired future practice with an infinity time constant. In addition, some older prints may exist which were recorded to a 1590 s time constant whi

35、ch must, on occasion, be accommodated.
