Abstract: Using a Digital Equipment Corp. PDP-11/40 minicomputer with peripheral equipment along with a Teletype terminal, Technicolor, Inc., in North Hollywood has assembled a system for the automated generation of paper printer-light tapes. The system handles two separate but related problems: it converts large quantities of past light-tape data into the format required by the present equipment, and it provides for the storage and updating of light-tape data being created for new negatives as they enter the plant. The first phase of this process computer implementation, the equipment involved, and the capabilities of the programmed computer are discussed.
