The Telecine Analysis Film consists of a neutral density scale and an eight-bar color test pattern with an LAD gray surround. The TAF color bars provide the utility of electronic color bars, even though they do not precisely match the electronically generated color bars. This graph shows a measure of the visual sharpness of this film. The longer and flatter the line, the more sine waves per millimetre that can be resolved with a high degree of sharpness-and, the sharper the film. The curves describe this film's response to red, green, and blue light.
Sensitometric curves determine the change in density on the film for a given change in log exposure.
At that point, follow horizontally to the Granularity Sigma D scale on the right. Read the number and multiply by 1000 for the rms value. These curves depict the sensitivity of this film to the spectrum of light. They are useful for adjusting optical printers and film recorders and for determining, modifying, and optimizing exposure. These curves depict the spectral absorptions of the dyes formed when the film is processed.
