Mm and Events Along Prodiu lion Lines Capital Labs' Garland Miscncr l)c\ clops New Color Scene Tester w A new additive colur scene tester, currently operational at Capital Film Laboratories' new Miami. I'lorida laboratory, has been desiencd by Garland Misener, the company's technical vicepresident. He described the new printing unit at the recent lOOth Technical Conference of the SMPTH at Los .Angeles. To obtain framc-to-frame color balance changes in the scene test prints at a rate of 10 frames per second, rotating aperture wheels are used to modulate the red, green and blue light beams in the dichrotic mirror optical system of the printer. The printed result is a "color ring" of seven picture frames, each with a different color balance. The color ring is automatically repeated at fi\c exposure levels, with intensity control by a fourth modular wheel. FvuliMtcs Deiisitirs of Negatives \\ ith the color range printed at each exposure level, the timer can make accurate color balance evaluations for printing negatives of different densities. An extended color range mode is provided for testing editing negatives which may have a wide range of color balance. This mode of printing may be switched in or out as needed. The scene-tester prints by optical projection and operates in normal room light. This facilitates safe handling of negatives and more efficient operation. • . . . agency consultant Penney Edmund Penney loins Niles-Cini As the Agency's A-V Consultant Writcr-dircctor-produccr Edmund Penney has joined NidesCini Advertising, Los Angeles, as audio-visual consultant.
