Abstract: By horizontal projection of 16mm film on which is printed two tracks of half-size 16mm pictures, each provided with a half-width optical sound recording, a system called A/16 Format has been designed. Because standard 16mm film stock is used, laboratory processing cost is half that for 16mm and less than 8mm magnetic sound prints for the same running time. The format provides a moderate wide-screen ratio, image quality superior to 8mm because of the larger picture area, and optical sound quality nearly equivalent to 16mm. Dual tracks eliminate rewind, and the film is well suited for use in a cartridge, to eliminate handling. Other applications include three-dimensional and dual picture presentation.
