180,000 pictures for 50 minutes is indeed 60 fps. For film tech, the cartridge size is reasonable.

A couple of comments:

1) The demo clip was from "Mission Impossible" and was 10 minutes out of a full episode. We got so used to/tired of it in the lab that we could quote every line. Our favorite was the evil villianess saying "Call me Riva, even the children call me that," which we would quote after the slightest hint of anyone hesitating before speaking our name.

2) I don't know why CBS used this narrator - can't recall if he was a CBS exec, but a really professional presenter would not divide his sentences into three-word phrases with pauses between them, would have a midwest accent instead of Eastern, and any stammers would have been retaken in a really professional production.
