Glow Transfer Tubes in Counting Circuits THIS SHARE ro Piccsc Roule December 1954 Another RMC First DISCAPS for printed wire circuits The exclusive wedge design of the leads on these new DISCAPS lock them securely in place on printed circuit assemblies prior to the soldering operation. The "Wedg-loc" leads eliminate the possibility of the capacitors becoming loose or falling out. Application of "Wedg-loc" lead DISCAPS to your printed circuits will cut production time, reduce costs, and insure the uniformity of your soldered connection. RMC "Wedg-loc" in between .01 DISCAPS are available capacities 2 MMF and 10,000 MMF in temperature compensating, by-pass, and stable capacity types with lead spacing as shown above. Electrical specifications and tolerances RMC are the same as standard wire lead DISCAPS. Your 200 inquiry is invited.

These yokes reportedly developed the same deflection as con- ventional ferrite cored types. See page 82 for additional details. Use of printed circuits throughout the elec- tronic industries is growing by leaps end bounds. One foil -clad laminate manufacturer predicts that each TV set will eventually require a pound of clad -laminate stock. Radio sets, computers, hearing aids, office equip- ment, automatic signaling devices, hi-fi units are other areas of application now under development. Totals: U. S.

Color Bar & Black Burst Generator (SMPTE Bars & Black Burst) Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Burst Electronics Model SG-3 or SG-7 Color Bar/Black Burst Generator. The SG-3 is a low cost Color Bar/ Black Burst Generator that produces the SMPTE Color Bar pattern or Black Burst signal. A front panel switch is installed to allow you to select either pattern. The SG-7 is a low cost Color Bar/Black Burst Generator that produces the SMPTE Color Bar pattern and six (6) outputs of Black Burst. These units may be used as a genlock reference, to “lay down” bars on tape, or to correctly set the color and brightness of video monitors. They may also be used as a video source for testing cables and equipment. The rear panel of the SG-3 has a single BNC connector that is selectable between SMPTE Color Bars and Black Burst. The rear panel of the SG-7 has seven (7) BNC connectors, 1 SMPTE Color Bars, and six (6) Composite Black Bursts. Both units operate on 12 volts DC from an AC adapter (included).

Chalaby1 Abstract This article revisits the history of television (TV) formats—concepts of TV shows that are licensed for local adaptations—focusing on scripted entertainment. While the TV format revolution of the 1990s bypassed scripted formats, they have been catching up in recent years. This article analyzes both the reasons for this late rise and the factors behind the recent growth. It argues that the adaptation of scripted formats is more complex, and risks remain higher than for other genres. The underlying economics of their production and distribution also differ from nonscripted formats. The stars aligned when demand for drama increased worldwide, Hollywood studios began to mine their catalogues, new exporters and scripted genres emerged, and knowledge transfer techniques improved. Finally, this paper analyzes the significance of the rise of scripted entertainment in the global TV format trading system. Keywords global television, Hollywood, scripted entertainment, transnational television, TV formats, TV genres Introduction The history of television (TV) formats—concepts of TV shows that are licensed for local adaptations—is now well documented.

The last year has seen a wave of new activity surrounding digital cinema. Many movies are being released digitally. There are conferences and shows addressing d-cinema on at least a monthly basis. International standards organizations such as SMPTE and MPEG have studied d-cinema and are beginning to set standards. Significantly, there have been several announcements and demonstrations of new technology supporting digital cinema, including new projectors, high capacity storage, and satellite delivery. The promise that these evolving technologies can provide higher quality in motion pictures is a compelling new vision for the entertainment production industry, for theater owners, for imaging industries, and for the technology providers.

    HD Monitor Calibration - White Balance and Color Bars — shoot > data > post 22/02/2017 18:11 ABOUT BLOG FEATURED CONTENT ARCHIVE CONTACT HD Monitor Calibration - White Balance and Color Bars This post is in regards to HD Rec. 709 monitor calibration only. There are several issues relating to standard definition video and monitoring that do not apply to HD. 1. NTSC Setup, or 7.5 IRE (%) Black Level. Setup is for standard definition only. The black portion of HD test signals hit 0 IRE (%) on the waveform. 2. Phase: There is no Phase control for digital HD monitoring. Only CHROMA (saturation) affects picture as Phase relating to monitoring is an analog issue only. COLOR BAR TEST SIGNALS: Many cameras and recording decks generate color bars - either the HD SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) version, which is this: http://shootdatapost.com/blog/2012/2/21/hd-monitor-calibration-smpte-arib-and-white-balance.html Page 1 sur 18 HD Monitor Calibration - White Balance and Color Bars — shoot > data > post 22/02/2017 18:11 SMPTE HD Or the newer HD specific version, ARIB (Association of Radio Industries and Businesses): ARIB Correct use of these test signals will help you properly set your HD monitor's Brightness (black level), Contrast (white level), and Chroma (color saturation level). The process of using either of these color fields is virtually identical. While color bars will help you to setup aspects of your monitor, they do nothing to reveal whether or not it's calibrated, meaning it's accurately reproducing colors and a neutral chroma-free gray scale.
