Abstract: A method and apparatus for recording sequences of successive television images on cine film and particularly color images on conventional motion picture film including the steps of converting an analogue television signal to a digital signal comprising a chain of "bits," storing the "bits" in a storage device having the capacity to store a complete television picture under the control of timing signals, applying timing pulses of a different frequency to the storage device to empty the storage device at a faster rate than that required to fill the same to reduce the duration of each frame with consequent increase in the blanking interval to a value such as to accommodate the pull-down mechanism of a film camera.
