An Electron-Beam Television Recorder

Edward W. Reed

Proper film handling and electron beam control provide superior black-and-white 16mm recordings of interlaced 525-line television signals. An intermittent shuttle mechanism phase locked to the television signal together with a timed deflection gate of the electron beam provides the conversion from 30 to 24 frames. Exposure control is obtained with a beam sampling servo system. A two-vacuum system with the film providing its own seal minimizes start-up time and prolongs the electron gun filament life.
