Super Motion System
A radically new television field-acquisition system designed to enhance the capture of motion is described. The Super Motion system is comprised of a new genre of color television camera and a new VTR system. The motion judder and image blur associated with conventional TV pictures when played on a standard slow-motion recorder have been overcome. This is accomplished by shooting the scene with a camera whose frame rate is three times as high as that of a normal 525/30 camera. New technologies incorporated in the system – mixed-field pickup tubes, fiber-optic transmission, digital processing and standards conversion, and high-speed C-MOS digital LSI chips to encode RGB to NTSC–are described.
