Abstract:
A method of generating a gateway video signal, comprising the steps of:inputting film frames recorded at a real-time rate representing a motion picture when reproduced at a real-time rate to a telecine converter that normally converts film frames recorded at a frame/second rate which is substantially higher than said real-time rate into a video signal having a field/second rate thereby speeding up the input of said frames at a higher rate of 1.2 to 1.25 times said real-time rate;converting the sped up frames input to said telecine converter to said gateway video signal at said field/second rate without adding video fields, thereby generating said gateway video signal at 1.2 to 1.25 times said real-time rate; andrecording said gateway video signal on a recording medium at said higher rate, such that when the gateway video signal is reproduced from said recording medium at said higher rate, reproduced video appears at 1.2 to 1.25 times the real-time rate.
