{"title":"Designing the CP-16 and CP-16/A News/Documentary Cameras","authors":"E. Digiulio","doi":"10.5594/J08790","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5594/J08790","url":null,"abstract":"A systems type of approach is recommended when one attempts to design a new system for a particular application — such as a 16mm camera for filming news and documentaries. In doing this, it is necessary (1) to consider the merits and demerits of existing equipment, (2) to remember that design is an ongoing process seeking an optimal goal and (3) to keep in mind the needs of the ultimate user of the new system — and therefore seek reliable and continuous feedback from him. This is what was done in developing the CP-16 and CP-16/A cameras for easy, efficient, on-the-shoulder operation. Some of the features of these systems include: a proven and reliable film-transport mechanism; compatibility with existing recording heads, lenses, etc.; light weight and good balance; extremely accurate crystal-controlled drive motor; operation with long-lasting plug-in batteries (making ac operation a very rare requirement); and the Crystasound recording/playback system to permit both “one-man-band” operation and very versatile operation with a soundman. Lastly, the cameras have been designed to be extremely easy to maintain.","PeriodicalId":302553,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the SMPTE","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115783232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SMPTE, 82: 542–547, July 1973). The present paper gives the results from a long-term performance of the bleach-fixing baths with Gevacolor Print Films. Special attention was given to the desilvering and rejuvenation of the used blix, based on metallic replacement (steel-wool cartridges). In order to increase the efficiency of the cartridges and to avoid an excessive build-up of iron EDTA in the bleach-fixing bath, the technique of prereduction is applied. After passage through the cell, the oxidizing properties of the bleach-fix can be restored by aerating the solution vigorously.","PeriodicalId":302553,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the SMPTE","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132339772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new CBS Color Light Amplifier (CLA), however, is the first device to do so without destroying color information. It was made to couple to a 16mm Arriflex motion-picture camera, but in principle it can also be used with color television cameras. Consisting essentially of a high-quality, electrostatic-type image intensifier between two specially designed color wheels, the unit provides a light gain of about 100. CBS News has used the unit at scene light levels as low as 0.05 fc (0.54 lm/m 2 ). The CLA weighs 8 lb (3.6 kg) and lengthens the Arriflex camera by 11.3 in (287 mm). An improved, smaller version is currently under development.","PeriodicalId":302553,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the SMPTE","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121917744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
