=== Moye-Mechau film recording ===

The Mechau system used a synchronized rotating mirror to display each frame of a film in sequence without the need for a [[Movie projector#Film gate and single image|gate]]. When reversed, a high-quality television monitor was set up in place of the projection screen, and unexposed film stock is run through at the point where the lamp would have been illuminating the film.<ref name="Dungate">{{cite web |url=https://www.vtoldboys.com/arthur/lgtvr.htm |title=Telerecording at Lime Grove |author=Arthur Dungate |access-date=2023-11-14}}</ref>

This procedure had the advantage of capturing both fields of the frame on a film, but required significant attention to produce quality reulity results.<ref name="Dungate" /> The Mechau film magazine only held enough for nine minutes so two recorders were needed to run in sequence in order to record anything longer.
