Sirius

Description

“The Dutch Sirius Color process (1929) used a camera with a beamsplitting system behind the lens to expose a single film, the film passing through two gates at right angles to each other. The double-coated print film was dye-toned. The process was demonstrated in London early in 1930 but was used only for a few shorts and advertising films.”
