FDL 60 — An Advanced Film Scanning System
The presentation of the FDL 60 film scanner in Montreux in early 1979 was a milestone in the development of modern telecine technology. This article describes in detail the FDL 60, which utilizes semiconductor CCD sensors to scan the film without interlace, and generates 60 fields/sec from 24 film frames via a digital frame store using component coding. With the same basic unit and different options, it is possible to perform many operations for both broadcast and post-production, using maintenance-free digital techniques.
