Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an apostilb used for?
- Apostilb is a historical unit of luminance commonly used in older photometric and cinematography specifications as well as in lighting engineering for describing diffusely reflecting surfaces.
- How does millilambert relate to modern luminance units?
- Millilambert is a non-SI unit equivalent to one thousandth of a lambert and is connected to candela per square metre, the SI unit, making it useful for imaging and cinematography-related luminance measurements.
- Why convert apostilb to millilambert?
- Converting apostilb to millilambert helps interpret and compare legacy luminance data with units still used in cinematography and imaging for equipment calibration and analysis.
Key Terminology
- Apostilb
- A non-SI, historical luminance unit equal to 1/π candela per square metre, used in older photometric and cinematography contexts.
- Millilambert
- A non-SI unit of luminance equal to one thousandth of a lambert, commonly used in imaging, cinematography, and broadcast engineering.
- Luminance
- The luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a particular direction.
