TELERECORD Meaning and
Definition
-
Telerecord, also known as kinescope, refers to a process of recording television broadcasts before the advent of magnetic tape technology. It involves capturing live television signals onto a film or photographic medium. Telerecording was widely used in the mid-20th century when videotaping was not yet available or affordable.
During the telerecording process, a television camera would be aimed at a specially designed monitor, which displayed the live broadcast. The monitor typically had a higher frame rate than a film camera, ensuring an effective capture of the television signal without flickering or scanning lines. The camera would record the broadcast image onto a film or photographic negative, creating a copy that could be stored or re-aired at a later time.
Telerecording was instrumental in preserving significant moments in early television history, including news events, sports, and entertainment programs. It allowed broadcasters to re-broadcast popular shows or distribute content to other regions without relying solely on live transmissions.
With the advent of magnetic tape technology in the 1950s, which offered better quality and ease of editing, telerecording gradually became obsolete. However, the term "telerecord" is still occasionally used to describe the early method of filming television broadcasts. It serves as a reminder of the transition from live television transmissions to the more advanced methods of recording and playback that we are familiar with today.
Etymology of TELERECORD
The word "telerecord" is a blend of two terms: "tele" and "record".
The term "tele" is derived from the Greek word "tele", which means "far" or "distant". It is commonly used as a prefix in words related to telecommunications, television, and remote communication.
The word "record" comes from the Latin word "recordare", which means "to remember". In the context of televisual media, it refers to the act of capturing and preserving audio or visual content for replay or future viewing.
When combined, "tele" and "record" in "telerecord" refer to the process of recording distant or remote audio or visual content, particularly in the field of television broadcasting.
