Further developments of CCD line array telecine

Advances in technology relevant to the use of solid-state line-array sensors in telecine applications are discussed. The improvements in performance of recent generations of line-array sensors were examined, together with the further benefits obtainable by using improved signal processing. The use of digital storage as a necessary part of a line-array telecine also opens up additional capabilities for facilities such as variable-speed running and the concealment of dirt and scratches. Both of these features are considered in this report.
