===Electronovision=== Attempts were made for many years to take television images, convert them to film via kinescope, then project them in theatres for paying audiences. In the mid-1960s, Producer/entrepreneur H. William "Bill" Sargent, Jr. used conventional analog Image Orthicon video camera tube units, shooting in the B&W [[819-line]] interlaced 25fps French video standard, using modified high-band quadruplex VTRs to record the signal.<ref name=Smithsonian>{{cite web|last=Eagan|first=Daniel|title=The Rock Concert That Captured an Era|url=http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-rock-concert-that-captured-an-era-11375757/?all|work=Smithsonian Magazine|accessdate=10 February 2014|date=March 19, 2010}}</ref> The promoters of [[Electronovision]] (not to be confused with [[Electronicam]]) gave the impression that this was a new system created from scratch, using a high-tech name (and avoiding the word kinescope) to distinguish the process from conventional film photography. Nonetheless, the advances in picture quality were, at the time, a major step ahead. By capturing more than 800 lines of resolution at 25 frame/s, raw tape could be converted to film via kinescope recording with sufficient enhanced resolution to allow big-screen enlargement. The 1960s productions used Marconi image orthicon video cameras, which have a characteristic white glow around black objects (and a corresponding black glow around white objects), which was a defect of the pick-up. Later vidicon and plumbicon video camera tubes produced much cleaner, more accurate pictures.
