Abstract

An apparatus for transferring television pictures onto cine film which operates independent of field scan frequency and which synchronizes each frame of the cine film with the television field scans to avoid the appearance of a bar across each frame. The apparatus comprises a cine camera which in operation is placed in front of a television screen and which generates a shutter opening signal, a control unit which synchronizes that signal with the video signal to the television such that the shutter opens at the beginning of a field scan, and a motor drive unit which utilizes the video signal to drive the camera shutter blade at one third the field scan frequency. The apparatus is useful for transferring television field scans operating at any frequency onto cine film.
