Color Television and Viewing Conditions

This paper outlines the advantages and necessity of controlling viewing conditions for the critical review of color film and picture on color TV monitors. Practices and standards of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for the review of color film by direct projection are given. These are different in several significant respects from formerly used practices and are designed to give subjective response similar to that gotten when the film is viewed on a TV monitor. Viewing conditions for TV monitor pictures are also specified.
