Abstract

[Feature] Within both the SMPTE and the AES, committees are currently studying the question of the drafting of new standards for the calibration of dubbing theaters and cinemas. The current process has evolved with the changing technology since the introduction of the X-curve in the 1970s, often in an empirical way, but solid, documented explanation of the changes has been lacking. Indeed, even the premises upon which the initial concepts were based have since been called into question. As a?result, myths have often been mixed with facts and incorrectly propagated as truths.
