We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
80 FUNDAMENTALS All the necessary amplifying equipment and equalizing circuits for correcting the frequency response of the signal are contained in the racks on each side. The large meter on the upper left-hand side is a frequency meter for checking low frequencies when adjust- ing the equipment. It will be seen that most of the film recording units bear a strong resemblance to each other, or to camera design, which is not surprising since they are all designed for a similar pur- pose. The recorder proper is mounted in the center with the two film magazines on the upper surface. Mobile 16 mm RCA Recording Equipment In Figure 3-17 is shown the latest RCA 16 mm equipment for mobile use. It was built into a truck and forms part of the studio on wheels which is used by Coronet Instructional Film Company of Glenview, Illinois, for the production of instructional films. The recorder is a standard RCA PR-2 3 film recorder modified to permit the recording of direct-positive sound tracks. This may not seem much of a problem, or very necessary, especially since direct-reversal film can be used. But, since the use of direct-reversal film sometimes introduces other difficulties, its use is not always desirable. It is not a simple matter to design a light valve which will produce a positive picture, for the valve operates by allowing more or less light to fall on the film. The stronger the signal, the stronger the light, (the positive film is like that but the corresponding part of the negative has a large, dark area in the identical spot where the positive is clear). Therefore, the problem is to get the same dimensioned areas, but with the colors reversed, as in the positive and negative films in Figures 3-13A and B. Variable-area RCA recording is, of course, used. As far as the costs of double system versus single system are concerned, the extra film for a double system recording costs about $15 to $16 per 1000 feet, which is the cost of positive film. In the case of single system, the only cost is for picture film. It is possible that use of the double method might require the services of extra technicians to operate the sound recorder since it is separate from the camera proper. The advantages of single and double systems are discussed later.
