Continued from Page 72 MITCHELL TRIPLEX TILTHEAD — A group of three compression springs, each accommodating a different weight and coupled with an almost instan¬ taneous method of interchanging is salient feature of new Mitchell Triplex Tilthead, which will accommodate any Mitchell camera ranging from the 16mm Professional to the BNC. Variable top plate adjustment permits instant correction of center of gravity. Sealed in ball bearings provide smooth glide in panning action, while large brake levers provide convenient locking of pan or tilt action. Mitchell Camera Corporation, 666 West Harvard, Glendale, Calif. LUMINANCE ANALYZER — This relatively new instrument is designed to solve problems of lighting control faced in live TV production and in the production of films for television. Devised to measure scene luminance in ratios, it enables the cinematographer to establish white reference quick¬ ly and correctly and relate flesh tones and shadow areas as well as all other scene luminance directly to this reference. From the camera position, without entering the scene, the cinematog¬ rapher using the instrument aims it at the white reference area, makes one adjustment and surveys the rest of the scene. The instrument then simultaneously indicates scene luminance ratios, computes lens diaphragm settings, and supplies absolute luminance information. With its angle of view of V2 degree, this hand-held photomultiplier spotmeter makes pos¬ sible the measurement of light from 1/4000 of the area of an average scene. The optical system is similar to that of a camera. The analyzer contains an objective lens which forms an image like that of a camera.
