- Abstract
- Two separate industries—motion picture film and television—are merging their applications and technologies. The question arises as to which industry's technologies should he chosen to solve which new problems. One issue in particular is the way in which moving images are represented electronically; should television standards such as HDTV be used for cinematographic images? Conversely, would television benefit from discarding transmission-standard-based video formats in post-production in favor of data formats developed originally to represent film frames? This paper examines these questions and offers some guidelines for determining the best answer for specific situations, rather than a blanket statement to cover all applications.
