  Telerecording - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Telerecording (known as kinescoping in the USA) is the British name for a process pioneered during the 1940s for the storing of electronically-shot television programmes on film, which was used for the preservation, re-broadcasting and sale of television programmes before the use of commercial broadcast-quality videotape became prevalent for these purposes.
Another technique developed by the BBC for telerecordings was known as 'spot wobble' - this involved the pixels of the television picture being telerecorded being slightly distorted, so that on the telerecording the line structure of the picture would be blurred into one, preventing moiré patterning on re-broadcast of the telerecording.
Telerecording was still being used internally at the BBC in the 1980s too, to preserve copies for posterity of programmes which were not necessarily of the highest importance, but which nonetheless their producers wanted to be preserved.

 Kinescope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Today the term is more commonly used to refer to a kinescope recording, kine for short, also called a telerecording in the UK: a recording of a television program made by filming the picture on a television monitor.
Alternatively it can refer to the equipment used for this procedure: basically a 16 mm or 35 mm movie camera mounted in front of a TV monitor, specially synchronized to the monitor's scanning rate.
A kinescope image looks less fluid than an original live or videotaped programme, because normal film has only 24 frames per second, as opposed to the 60 or 50 half-frames or fields used by video.

 "British Telefantasy Began in 1963...?" Part 1
At the time the BBC had no obligation to maintain an archive except for its own use, so telerecording was used sparingly, and the material most likely to be preserved was of newsworthy or historical importance, such as the 1953 coronation or interviews with major public figures.
By the late-50s, when high-quality telerecording was used to pre-record programmes for transmission later, such agreements often required the recording to be destroyed afterwards (e.g.
Videotape was introduced for pre-recording in the late-1950s (although telerecording was still used intermittently until the late-60s), thereby presenting a different problem in archiving terms.

 PostProduction
Telerecording, as it became known, was to become a powerful tool, because for the first time it was possible to record live television for possible resale or for further post production.
Telerecording was not ideal, because of the time required to process it.
In the early fifties a number of teams were working on the possibility of magnetic recording of pictures, using the same principles as those used in audio recording.

 The Quatermass Collection (1953)
The six-part series was performed live, and the BBC only made telerecordings of the first two episodes, reportedly because they were dissatisfied with the results.
In effect, a telerecording is created by pointing a film camera at a TV monitor.
Television programmes were recorded for posterity using a camera synched to the frame rate of a television monitor that it was pointed at.

 'The War Machines' - 1997 style!
BBC Enterprises took the 405-line two-inch fl and white videotapes of the four episodes and made telerecordings of them for the purposes of overseas sales.
After telerecording, the videotapes for all four episodes were either wiped or junked by BBC TV sometime in the late 1960’s - however, BBC Enterprises still had their film prints, and the story was offered for overseas sale by BBC Enterprises until at least 1974.
However, BBC Enterprises had only a limited period in which to sell programmes due to various complex agreements over rights, and once a programme was no longer commercially viable, they junked their film copies.

A crucial showcase for Jack Good- as this was the first of 13 shows to be telerecorded for broadcast on ABC in the United States later in the year.
A number of these American telerecordings are known to survive in private hands in the United States, including tMove It” among others, to introduce them to this huge new overseas audience.
It is probable that this original telerecording, once catalogued with ABC at Teddington, Middlesex until 1968, may be in the private hands of someone in the United Kingdom.

At some point after that, they underwent telerecording (a process whereby tape is transferred onto film, unlike telecine, where film is recorded onto tape).
Telerecording is an expensive process and from most points of view, a rather strange one, since quality and resolution will be lost.
Some time before the telerecording, episodes 3 and 7 were damaged; I'm not a television engineer but in my limited production experience, it looks like episode 7 has had some kind of phase shift.

But, by 1957, telerecording technology had improved sufficiently to warrant it's use in domestic transmissions, and by the next year, videotape recording started operation by the BBC and ITV.
On the same subject, I should point out that the prints of The Dominators parts 4 and 5 currently held by the BBC are slightly edited, in that the deaths of some of the characters have been pruned.
The 16mm telerecording of that episode had been requisitioned by the cjildren's magazine programme Blue Peter so that the transformation from Bill Hartnell to Pat Troughton could be incorporated into a 10th anniversary special on November 5th, 1973.

 DVD Times - The Year of the Sex Olympics
I would guess that the telerecording used for this DVD looks significantly worse than the colour videotape it was originally recorded on.
This would be due to the state of the telerecording and the fact that it appears filmised instead of the original fluid videotape appearance.
I believe that the BFI were offered the opportunity to have the telerecording processed to make it look like monochrome videotape, but declined the offer.

If an episode was to be saved, this was the way it was done, and many episodes from the 1960s and 1970s only survive through kinescope copies.

With much of the TV industry moving to the West Coast in later years, kinescopes practically fell from use.
In recent years the BBC has introduced a video process called Vidfire, which can restore kinescope recordings to their original appearance by interpolating video fields between the film frames.

 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' Part 1
The only form of live programme preservation was telerecording, which involved a special transmission monitor permanently set up in front of a modified 35mm film camera.
At the time the BBC had no obligation to maintain an archive except for their own use, so telerecording was used sparingly, and the sort of material most likely to be recorded was that of newsworthy or historical importance, such as the 1953 Coronation or interviews with major public figures.

 Missing Without Trace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A telerecording is a method of transferring videotape to film; because videotape was expensive, and because more was known about film, the videotape would be erased and re-used after a while, but usually not before a telerecording had been made, either for overseas sale or possibly archival purposes.
The latter one of these is the subject of more rumour and speculation than any other 'lost' episode (at least, after Tomb was found!) because of a strange incident that occurred during the 1970s purge., and before the story was junked by BBC Enterprises in 1974.
On the same subject, I should point out that for years the prints of The Dominators parts 4 and 5 currently held by the BBC are slightly edited, in that the deaths of some of the characters have been pruned.

 405 Alive - FAQ - Programming - How programmes were made
After the programme is created (either on film from the outset or recorded from a television production), duplicate prints are created and sent out for transmission.
Programmes which were recorded on film when transmitted for later re-broadcast are called telerecordings in the UK and kinescope recordings in the USA.
Therefore if you watch a projected original Telerecording (I saw a 16mm one at the BFT last year) you will see that they are invariably better than watching a tape on TV of the same thing.

All episodes bar the pilot episode and Ticket to Terror were recorded using 625-line cameras output to a telerecording suite where the video was telerecorded onto 35mm for editing and broadcast purposes.
Telerecording is a process that transfers an interlaced video signal to a frame based image that the film is exposed to.
This was done in the early days of TV as it was cheaper to edit programs on film rather than videotape.

As noted, the episode 'missing' from the third series isn't totally missing, it's merely missing from its original format, unlike the rest of the series.
There was also a radio version of 'Dad's Army' and the episodes missing from the television version were performed in the radio version and still exist in that format.
It is possible that the five episodes missing from Series Two were never telerecorded as, at the time, Series One had not sold well and it was felt Series Two wouldn't sell either.

About 30 members of the Church of God, who were at the telerecording scene, voluntarily cleaned up the area after the recording and received an unexpected plaque of thanks from the Chilgok County Headman.
As known, the Church of God keeps the Sabbath on every Saturday and the Church members in Waegwan could not attend their village festival because of their worship service.
But suddenly the program's telerecording schedule was changed to September 23, and the Church members could participated in their village's big event with gladness so that they could be a help to their neighbors.

One fan even pointed an 8mm camera at his television screen (an even more primitive telerecording) and saved some bits and pieces of Doctor Who in that way.
