Abstract

Abstract A method of recording color picture information from an original scene on a film having a single layer of photosensitive emulsion containing a mixture of silver halide grains of different spectral sensibilities. The film is exposed in an optical camera to record a first series of monochrome images of the luminance content in the original color picture scene and a second series of monochrome images which are to represent the color content of the scene. The film is thereupon treated in a laboratory, and such treatment involves a reversal process including the exposure of a color raster onto the film portion which is provided with the second series of images. The spatial frequency of the color raster corresponds to the desired scanning frequency for the purpose of reproducing the images by color television scanning techniques.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 29 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said second exposing step is carried out in a laboratory following a primary development of said first portion of said layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 18 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said second exposing step forms part of a reversal process.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 39 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said second exposing step comprises placing between a light source and said layer a lenticular raster and placing between said lenticular raster and said light source a system of color stripes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
A method as defined in claim 4, wherein the periodicity of said system of color stripes corresponds to that which is necessary for full coverage of said second portion of said layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 22 words
A method as defined in claim 5, further comprising the step of optically reducing the image of said system of color stripes.
