Abstract: CBS will be employing the 11 25-line, 60-field HDTV format for the FCC-approved advanced television transmission system. Although a great deal of source material for this programming already exists on 35mm film, some episodic television series are currently filmed using 16mm. In addition, Super 16, with its wider aspect ratio and increased image area, has been advanced as a suitable acquisition format for HDTV. To determine the capability of 16mm film for HDTV transfer, CBS analyzed, measured, and performed tests to compare the performance of both 16mm formats to 35mm and an HDTV television camera. Objective measurement data and subjective observations are presented in this paper
