1,216,835. Recording colour television. COLUMBIA BROADCASTING SYSTEM Inc. 16 April, 1968, [17 April, 1967], No. 17540/67. Heading H4F. Specification describes method of and apparatus for recording the contents of a colour picture on "black and white" film in such a form that the contents can be readily read out by a flying spot scanner and converted to a colour television picture. The object to be viewed is focused by lens 13, Fig. 3, on to a black and white film 14. A banded colour filter 16, Fig. 4, is placed in front of and adjacent to lens 13, and a lenticular screen 15 is placed in front of the film. The colour filter comprises red bands 18, 21, green bands 19, 22, blue band 20 and opaque bands 17, 23 and the screen 15 is formed with a plurality of juxtaposed partcylindrical lenticulations arranged parallel to the filter bands. This results in there being formed on the film 14 a repeated pattern of coloured bands 181, 191, 201, 211, 221, 1811, &c., separated by unilluminated bands 24, 241, 2411. The light intensity in red band 181, for example, depends on the red intensity of the corresponding point of the object, and the sensitivity of the film is such that for a uniform white object the intensities of the developed bands are all equal. To reproduce the object, a flying spot scanner is used, the direction of scan being at right angles to the bands. The hue of the colour is determined by the phase of the signal with respect to the pulse signals produced by bands 24, 241 &c., and the intensity by the amplitude of the signal. The pulse signals produced by scanning bands 24, 241 &c., are thus used to phase detect the signals produced by the other bands. The thus produced "chrominance" picture C, Fig. 1 on the film 14 may be formed simultaneously with and at the side of a corresponding normal "luminance" picture L, possibly by means of a beam splitting device, or the luminance and chrominance pictures may be produced in succession, Fig. 6. The apparatus of Fig. 7 is used for said successive production, wherein the lenticular screen 34 is mounted in a frame Fig. 8 (not shown) whereby it is moved into position 341 in front of the film 30 during the chrominance exposure, and to position 34 during the luminance exposure. Colour filter 35 remains in front of the lens 33 for both exposures, the colour bands being dispersed during the luminance exposure. A cam arrangement 26 causes a claw 29 to engage in a perforation in the film and move said film through one frame distance between exposures and a shutter 31 covers the film during said movement. A telephoto lens 36 may be used.
