RCA film scanner

An RCA film scanner for 16mm film, used to transfer motion pictures to videotape. The scanner worked like the television scanner but was different in that it did not play the sound from the sound track. The sound therefore had to be on the picture track of the film itself. The film scanner was originally used at the NATO television station, The Cannon, at Keflavik Air Base. It was in use from around 1960 to 1975. Jón Ingi at Myndbandavinnslan later acquired the device, but it was never used there.
