Abstract
An apparatus and method for configuring a standard definition raster scanner telecine allows the standard definition telecine to produce an output at a faster than standard definition frame rate, but with a lower than standard definition resolution. This is achieved by configuring the film transport to move film past a light sensor at a multiple of a standard definition frame rate, and scanning the film at the multiple of the standard definition frame rate but with a reduced resolution.
