If you think Flying Spot Scanner technology is a thing of the past, you should google Rank Cintel Telecine. That's a high end film transfer device used to transfer 35 mm film to videotape. They have been around since the early 80's. I think they cost around $100K when new. I'm sure you have seen a movie on TV transferred with one. They do not use a shutter as a conventional projector and camera would. You will not find them at a TV station but more likely at a production house specializing in commercial transfer. Many of the Hollywood producers shoot in film and then do the distribution in tape.
