Abstract: In the summer of 1972, the relatively new station of KDUB-TV in Dubuque, Iowa, as part of a test program made a complete change to super 8 for both news and commercial production. Since that time, well over 85,000 ft (25,500 m) of super 8 have been processed, edited and aired at the station's facilities. All three formats (super-8, single-8 and double super-8) have been tested. About 90% of the film used was Kodak Ektachrome EF film 7242 (available in cartridges), double super 8 and prestriped single strand; however, other film stocks were tested, including Kodachrome II movie film (Type A) KA, Kodak Ektachrome 40 movie film (Type A) EMA and Kodak Ektachrome 160 movie film (Type A) ELA. Findings of the test program brought out a critical need for image enhancement with super 8 and also brought out the considerable savings resulting from the use of super-8 film, especially in shipping costs.
