The first constant speed telecines used the flying spot scanning principle. A CRT [cathode-ray tube] produces a small spot of white light which is focused on the film. The spot is driven back and forth across the tube by a sawtooth waveform and consequently scans the film transversely. The film modulates the intensity of the light passing through and sensors on the other side of the film produce a video output signal. 1, record 2, English, - flying%20spot%20scanning

A type of scanning mechanism that utilizes a CRT-generated beam of light to raster-scan a stationary document mounted on a flatbed platen. Through lens optics, the reflected beam of light is focused onto a photomultiplier and is converted into an electrical signal. High resolution is a primary characteristic of this method. 1, record 3, English, - CRT%20flying%20spot%20scanner
