Abstract

Abstract A television camera comprises a top wall and a camera tube having a light-sensitive surface. A motion picture projector is mounted on said wall and has a projector aperture, means for intermittently moving a film past said projector aperture, and illuminating means for illuminating a portion of said film in register with said projector aperture. Said camera has a telescopic optical system having an entrance opening approximately on the level of said projector aperture and adapted to form on said light-sensitive surface an image of a portion of said film which is illuminated in register with said aperture.
