The Film Subsystem is designed to facilitate the management of all the information re-
quired to control satellite film. Simply stated, it is a tool to be used by IS/MISB for
storing and retrieving data electronically.
This publication presents the basic instructions required to use the displays and other
software provided by the Film Subsystem. The various printed receipts, listings, and reports
output by the subsystem and how to request them are also outlined in this manual. More de-
tailed information on the Film Subsystem can be found in OASIS: FILM SUBSYSTEM, A Reference

INSTRUCTIONS
Changing Rev/Ops
* If necessary, use the paging options or function keys to display the rev/ops you want
to change.
* Overwrite the old data with the new data. You may change as many rev/ops as necessary
on one display page.
Transmit. The display will reappear on the screen. If you have changed any rev/op num-
bers, they will appear on the display in numerical order. If applicable, use the paging
options or function keys to page through the display and review your changes. The data
displayed, including your changes, reflects the data stored in the Film Information File
(FIF).
Adding Rev/Ops
The only way to add new rev/ops is to duplicate an existing rev/op and overwrite the
duplicated data with the data for the new rev/op. You may select only one rev/op to be dupli-
cated per transmission, but you may duplicate it as many times as necessary depending upon
the number of rev/ops you want to add.

* To duplicate a rev/op:
- Light pen the brackets to the left of the rev/op you want to duplicate.
- Then light pen ADD. If you want more than one duplicate, enter the number
inside the brackets following ADD.
- Transmit. The display will reappear on the screen. The number of dupli-
cates you have requested will also be displayed, each followed by an
asterisk (*).
- If the duplicates do not appear on the display, it is because the dupli-
cates you requested exceed the maximum number of 7 rev/ops per display
page. Your duplicates can be displayed on the next display page. Use
the paging options or function keys to display the duplicate rev/ops.
?
* To add new rev/ops:
- Overwrite each duplicate line with data for the new rev/op.
- Transmit. The display will reappear on your screen. The rev/ops you
have added can be displayed in numerical order. If they do not appear
on the displayed page, use the paging options or function keys to dis-
play your additions. The data displayed, including the rev/ops you
have added, reflects the data stored in the FIF. Note, the asterisks
no longer appear on the display.
Deleting Rev/Ops
* If necessary, use the paging options or function keys to display the rev/op(s) you want
to delete.
* Light pen the brackets to the left of each rev/op you want to delete.

USE - To create new Frame Description Records, to review and update existing records. A
Frame Description 0 Record may contain up to 500 frames and strips. Consequently the
record you are displaying may consist of several CRT pages.
Blank = good
B = no imagery
M = film missing
P = partial frame
The frames that comprise the record you are creating may be input by entering a range
of frame and strip numbers. You may transmit as many ranges as necessary to include in the
record all the film controlled by the control number appearing at the top of this display.
Care must be exercised when entering ranges to ensure that as the record is created the
individual frames and strips fall in the proper numerical sequence. To create a record follow
these procedures:
* The input range is to be entered where INPUT FRAMES [--] [----] TO [----] appears
at the bottom of the display.
If your input range consists of frames, leave the first pair of
brackets blank. After transmitting, the numbers in the range
will be displayed preceded by the abbreviation FR.
- If you input range consists of strips, enter ST within the first
pair of brackets. After transmitting, the numbers in the range
will be displayed preceded by the abbreviation ST.
Enter the first number-in the range within the second pair of
brackets and the last number within the last pair of brackets.

* Transmit. The display will reappear on the screen with as many frames or strips
as can be accommodated on one CRT page. If additional pages were created to accom-
modate your input, the total number of pages created will appear in the upper
right-hand corner. Use the paging options.to page through the display. The data
displayed reflects the data stored in the Film Information File (FIF).
* Follow these procedures for each range of frames or strips you want to transmit.
Once created, these records must be updated to include the status of each frame and the
status and number of each replay, if any. You may also update a record by changing existing
data and by adding and deleting individual frames.
O Entering Statuses
cn * Frame statuses are entered within the brackets following the frame numbers under
n 00 the first STATUS column. Once entered these statuses should not change.
M
Replay statuses and numbers are entered within the appropriate brackets under the
REPLAY column. The replay number refers to the total number of replays for a
frame. For each replay, a new status is entered, and of course the total number
is increased.
Transmit your entries when all statuses have been entered on the display. The
display will reappear on your screen; the data displayed, including the statuses
you have just input, reflects the data stored in the FIF.
* Repeat these procedures for each CRT page comprising the record until all statuses
have been input.
Changing Existing Data
* Use the paging options or the function keys to display the data you want to change.
Overwrite the old data with the new data.

your changes, reflects the data stored in the FIF.
* Repeat these procedures for each CRT page of the record for which you want to
change the existing data.
Adding New Frames
The frames in this record are arranged in numerical order. Consequently, the only way
to add new frames in-the proper sequence is to duplicate an existing frame and overwrite
either the original'or the duplicate, but not both, with the data for the new frame. You may
select only-.one=frame to be'duplicated per transmission, but you may duplicate it as many
times as necessary depending upon the number of frames you want to add.
* To duplicate a frame:
Light pen the brackets to the left of the frame you want to duplicate.
Then light pen ADD. If you want more than one duplicate, enter the
number.inside the brackets following ADD.
- Transmit. The display will reappear on the screen. The number of
duplicate frames you have requested will appear on the display. If
the duplicates do not appear on the display, it is because the dupli-
cates you have'requested exceed the number of frames per CRT page.
Use the paging options or function keys to display the duplicate
frames.
* To add new frames:
- Overwrite the duplicated data with the new data for the new frame or
frames you are adding. If you overwrite the original, be sure to
leave one duplicate line, so that you do not loose the data for the
frame number you chose to duplicate.
