Author Topic: BV Announces Cyan Track for "Mr. 3000" John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-03-2004 09:43 PM                        quote: Steve Kraus I will take the silence of Ted, John, and other proponents on the issue of two layer dye tracks as implicit acknowledgement that such a track would not be detrimental in any way to red light playback of the cyan layer... I was not silent. I already answered that playing a cyan+magenta dye track with a white light reader would give very unacceptable results, with ample experience from when a conventional track accidently had no soundtrack developer applied, or was applicated on the wrong side. I also noted that the yellow dye layer would be too unsharp and grainy.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 08-03-2004 10:44 PM                    There's still no downside to doing so.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-04-2004 11:34 AM                     "There's still no downside to doing so." and there is still no advantage Also I think there may be so loss of sharpness ocusing on more than one layer. But Steve after your brothel comment I thought you would be encamped in the "Red Light District"  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 08-04-2004 11:46 AM                    They don't call you the poet of Film-Tech for nothing! We've only been focusing on two layers for half a century (since the advent of the applicated color positive print).  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-04-2004 12:01 PM                     Some time ago I raised concerns along with several others over the poor HF response of the cat 69P test films One of the local lab engineers here said that a dye + silver track will have poor HF response than a black and white silver track or a single dye layer due to light scatter So in theory a cyan only track should exhibit better HF response than a two layer + silver one does  |  IP: Logged
