RP 53:1993 - SMPTE Recommended Practice - Scene-Change Methods for Printing 35-mm, 16-mm and 8-mm Type S Motion-Picture Film

(1.1) This practice specifies the dimensions and location of a scene-change notch or cueing spot for actuating the printer light-change mechanism when printing 35-mm, 16-mm, and 8-mm type S motion-picture films. (See annex A.1 for a frame- count cueing method which is more commonly utilized.)
