Slow-Motion Playback of Television Film Recording

John R. Whittaker

In the television coverage of sports and news events, frequently it is of interest to replay fast action shots at a slow rate in order to observe details not readily apparent in normal transmission. This cannot be accomplished conveniently with conventional intermittent projectors. An arrangement using continuous-motion projection is described which permits playback of 16mm film at rates as low as 4 frames/sec. Combined with TV film recording equipment and a rapid film processor, immediate playback to the television audience is possible.
