Alain LeTourneau Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Are the TV safe markings on the ground glass close to approximating a 16mm projector's aperature mask? Thanks, Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Ealer Posted January 11, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted January 11, 2005 No, most projector masks will fall outside of TV safe, probably closer to TV Trans. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain LeTourneau Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 It's all in the SMPTE standards: http://www.smpte.org/smpte_store/standards/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Atavist, Dominic, and John. And thanks for the SMPTE link. I could not remember the numbers nor find a reference and was trying to decide on a camera with or w/o TV safe markings on the ground glass. I'm going for straight 1.33 without the TV safe. Just out of curiousity was there ever a ground glass that marked the projector aperature mask for 16mm?
