656,292. Television. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. Sept. 10, 1947, No. 24810. [Class 40 (iii)] Apparatus for effecting interlaced scanning of a continuously-moving kinematographic film for the purpose of generating or recording television signals includes selectively operable means for conditioning the apparatus for a television scanning rate which differs from the rate of advance of the film. In one arrangement, Fig. 1 (for generating television signals), two images of a luminous interlaced raster, having double the normal aspect ratio and produced on the screen 3 of a cathode-ray tube 1, are directed through the film 8 by means of the optical system comprising lens system 14 and mirrors 17, 18 disposed around the periphery of a drum 16 which is driven in the direction of arrow 26 by means of motor 11 which also produces continuous motion of the film. A shutter 19 comprised of radial vanes and apertures, each of width equal to the height (from left to right) of the raster images in the gate 13 and driven by motor 11 in the direction of arrow 23, is synchronized with the television scanning rate so that the images projected on to the film are alternately obturated. Fig. 3 shows the scanning sequence when the mirror drum 26 is driven at the correct speed, i.e. at a speed equal to the difference between the rate of film movement and the television scanning rate, the arrangement being such that the third film frame, 33, is scanned twice as the projected raster images 29, 30 move from position p to position q due to the drum movement, the cycle repeating after five television frame scans. Correction for the variation in luminous intensity of the projected images which varies, as the mirror drum rotates, from a minimum to a maximum and to a minimum again, is provided by a compensating filter 20, the transparency of which is arranged to vary inversely. In the application of the invention to the recording of television signals (Fig. 6, not shown), the television picture is reproduced on the screen of the cathode-ray tube and the mirror drum is replaced by two separately-pivoted mirrors or prisms which are caused, by means of cams, to execute a cyclic movement to produce the displacement of the projected images, an additional shutter arrangement obturating the fourth television frame scan (i.e. the projected images q and r, Fig. 3) in each operating cycle. Instead of employing optical means (i.e. the mirror drum of Fig. 1 or the arrangement of pivoted mirrors or prisms referred to above), the required displacement of the projected images may be produced by suitably modifying the frame deflection wave applied to the cathode-ray tube and, instead of employing the compensating filter 20, the scanning beam may be modulated in intensity at frame frequency. Specifications 475,032 and 639,785 are referred to.
