Film chain

The introduction of the Rank Cintel Mark III flying spot scanner and Bosch Fernseh FDL60, called a telecines, paved the way to shift from projector based transfer to a more gentle system, continuous transport motion, that allowed the easy transfer of negative film and print film and thus the decline of film chains.

General Electric also made film chains, both in B&W and color; among its color film cameras were the PE-24 and PE-240, both of which used four vidicon tubes (designated as "4-V").
