• "The Videoplayer moves Super 8 film continuously (no in-termittent motion) past an aerial image of a small TV screen.The screen has no picture on it, just a gray raster-scanningpattern. The image of the screen is the same size as a Super8 picture frame, and falls directly on the film. If the imagecould be seen in micro second intervals, it would appear tobe a small spot (the image of the spot where the electronbeam falls on the TV tube phosphor), raster scanning backand forth across the Super 8 frame. Three photomultiplierdetector tubes (Red, Green, Blue) on the other side of the film measure the color of the spot from moment to moment and convert the result into a full NTSC standard composite color signal. There is no color camera." (From Super8Sound Catalog, 1975).
• (1) Sound is derived from magnetic edge stripe of a single-system film, or from Super 8 fullcoat magnetic film being played back in synchronism on a double-system sync recorder (Super8Sound recorder).
