Quite similar however the chain can also do slides for stills. I ran one years ago in Jr high school to transfer the 16mm's to 3/4 Umatic, don't recall the make but it was an over/under reel arrangement for the film. They used the 3/4" tapes to dup over to a fleet of open-reel EIAJ Panasonic NV-3120's... our school had I think 2 color RCA Lyceum metal cabinet sets on the big roll around carts and one RCA (Panasonic) top load VHS, yes we were high-tech in 1982. One of the Lyceum sets was used with the chain as it had a provision to do color correction by sliding colored gels before the light source.
