The Marconi B3410 Line Array Telecine

This paper details the design philosophy and some of the systems used in the B3410 line array telecine. It lists the design aims, and gives details on the picture-sensing system, the film-transport system, the optical system, the video systems, and the servo systems. The servo systems include a capstan servo, spooling servos, and a light control servo. The paper also describes the combination of charge-coupled devices (line-arrays) with microprocessor-controlled digital signal processing.
