May I Suggest A Sticky Thread Identifying Insider Terminology? (1 Viewer)

[Dick]

I know what a lot of the acronyms commonly used here are, but by no means all, and having to go back and read entire lengthy threads to see if they are identified is cumbersome. Just today I hit several I'd not heard of (such as "LPCM"). I appreciate that many members here know all of this stuff, but I am admitting here I am not among you. I suggest a sticky thread that contains the acronyms in alphabetical order (OCN = Original Camera Negative, etc.) that can be added to periodically as new terms are added to the vernacular. Thanks for any mod consideration. Oh, yes..."mod" = "moderator"! Not an acronym, but maybe still unclear to a few newbies.

OCN = Original Camera Negative

Seps = Separation Masters - breaking down three color records on b/w film

IP = InterPositive = duplicating color positive intermediate used to produce duplicate printing negative

Dupe = duplicate printing negative

DME = a full coat magnetic 3-stripe containing separate dialogue, music and effects

3-Strip Technicolor = Tech printing process which exposed three b/w negatives, which in turn were printed to matrices and imbibed to a piece of blank stock

2-Strip Technicolor = Doesn't exist = 2 Color Technicolor = a double frame process

Thanks for helping me to get this started, Robert.

LPCM = Linear Pulse Code Modulation - this is an uncompressed audio format sometimes used on discs

Imbibed? Last thing I imbibed had nothing to do with film stock.
