362 STATEMENT ON THEATER TELEVISION
for each programming source. However, for a truly competitive nation-wide service, each source will require from four to six 50megacycle channels. If only local operation is anticipated, each program-originating source could operate with two 50-megacycle channels.
2. As many channels as possible should be allocated for theater television service between 5925 megacycles and 7125 megacycles.
3. In brief, the functions to be performed in the channels assigned to each program-originating organization are remote pickup, transmission from a central studio or transmitters to local theaters, and transmission from the central studios or transmitters in one city to studios, transmitters, or theaters in another city.
4. At the present time, limited cable facilities might be made available for occasional transmission of low-definition monochrome theater television pictures, but would not be satisfactory for the type of theater television service considered necessary or for future highdetailed monochrome or color theater television pictures.
5. As of today, no existing common carriers have facilities fully available for theater television purposes.
6. The SMPE has no plans or proposals looking toward the establishment of a theater television service. Information on this phase of theater television should be secured from the various motion picture trade associations and producer or exhibitor companies now carrying on experimental work.
The Society of Motion Picture Engineers has previously submitted to the Federal Communications Commission proposals for the allocation of frequencies for theater television, and the Commission has issued statements in relation thereto. One of these was in connection with docket 6651 leading to the Commission's report of May 25, 1945. The other was treated in the Commission's report of February 20, 1948.
The Society of Motion Picture Engineers desires to express to the Federal Communications Commission its willingness to be of future service to the Commission along such lines as the Commission may indicate, within the purposes and scope of the Society.
