Abstract: The development of new systems of cinematography has resulted in a wide variety of image formats with different aspect ratios. Regardless of what format is used in taking the picture it is shown in all kinds of motion-picture equipment and on television. For converting films from one format to another appropriate procedures and equipment are available. However, the process of converting from format to format, particularly if selection of picture content is involved, results in a loss in the character of the composition, some reduction in the quality of the image, and a delay in the preparation of the material needed for the mass production of prints. The authors here propose a universal format for the negative original which can then be used for printing positive copies in the required formats. The proposal advanced by the authors requires an overall evaluation and experimental verification. Because of the importance of decisions concerning the integration of image formats used in the production of film intended for cinematography and television, producers of films, film operators, and interested specialists are invited to participate in these discussions.
