Abstract: This paper reviews the benefits of silverless, cyan dye tracks to the motion picture industry, the status of red reader deployment in motion picture theaters, the effect of red reader characteristics on the sonic performance of silver and dye tracks, and the need for the intermediate step of first moving the industry to “high-magenta” color balance reapplicated sound tracks before changing over to silverless cyan dye tracks. In addition, an updated high-magenta and cyan dye track industry road map is presented.
