A telecine machine (10) for converting images recorded on motion picture film to video signals. On a commercially-available flatbed editing table (12), motion picture film passes through a light-tight enclosure surrounding a strobe, the film, a mirror, and a video camera. When the film is centered between the strobe and the camera, the strobe flashes to optically transmit the film image to the video camera. The film is then advanced exactly one single film frame to record the next image. Passage of the film is monitored by a film sprocket coupled to a bi-phase encoder (20). The video signal is transmitted to a signal processing transceiver/control circuit (60) where corresponding time code is associated with the video signal. Initial film frame and time code information are available to the telecine invention via a laptop computer (62) which also controls the operation of the telecine machine.
