Talk:Kinescope
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word kinescope should not be confused with the Kinetoscope, Edison's early motion picture viewer. Walloon 23:50, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
Whoever changed "35mm" to "27mm" has some 'splainin to do, as Ricky Ricardo might say. I've changed it back to "35mm". Walloon 01:23, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "kinoscope"
Yep; there's an article called "kinoscope". I'm assuming this is just a misspelling of kinescope, and it should be merged and redirected here. There's not much content over there, though there are some headings that might benefit this article. And redirecting "kinoscope" to here would help out people like me who dont kno hou to spel two gud.KarlBunker 23:23, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
This may only be a semantic distinction, but "kinescope" generally seems to refer mostly to the practice of preserving live television broadcasts on film; is there a point to using the phrase "tape-to-film transfer" to discuss the ongoing use of similar technology? In particular, the work of the Image Transform organization during the 1970's and 1980's advanced the quality of film transfers through the use proprietary circuitry and methods. In the days before "digital cinema" workflows, early computer animation sequences (e.g., Disney's "Tron") were transferred to film in this way; and Frank Zappa's "200 Motels" feature was imaged for theatrical release from videotape originals. Does this discussion expand the topic inappropriately? Vidwit 17:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Visual Aid
Ok, I get it, you stick a camera in front of a tv screen and bam you got it, but all the same I would like to see a picture of a kenescope or a diagram if someone has one. Might help explain some of the questions im left with like how do they acomplish the frame synch or how do they compensate for the curvature of early crts.
