Telecine

A term used to describe a device used to convert film to video.

In advanced telecine machines, the movie film is digitally sampled and converted to video, frame by frame in real-time. Frame rate is the biggest problem encountered in film-to-video conversion. Movie film has a frame rate of 18, 24, or 30 fps (frames per second) contrasting with the 30 and 25 fps video frame rates of NTSC and PAL respectively. See Flicker.
