An odd 16mm reel from my collection which is a kinescope made by the Dumont Television Network in September of 1956, which depicts a test for their innovative video/film camera system, though this particular reel is not the 35mm reflex sync video that they advertised but the standard 16mm film synchronized with a CRT known as a kinescope. The video switching in this reel show that this video feed is from the master video console, rather than the autonomous system depicted in the advert. Anyway, an interesting piece of history none the less. Enjoy!

Evidently "Grace Dawson" is a pseudonym for Donna Reed.
This was actually mesmerizing, thanks Fran.
That is an interesting pioneering kind of telenovela from the 50's!
Their tvs were built like battleships
Very cool.
What a great film I wish I could see the entire show.
Who goes camping in a suit? Old school for sure.
I have a copyright on the static from 12.40 to 12.42.
way cool..if this show was on now I'd watch it…kind of a film noir drama vibe to it, thanks for sharing
I remember the DuMont network. Channel 6 in Philadelphia carried it as well as programs from ABC. This definitely was a kinescope recording filmed from a crt. The electronicam system was used on the Honeymooners with Jackie Gleason which was a live show so filming it at the same time the quality was better than a kinescope and the film could be duplicated and the show could be syndicated or shown in other time zones or on stations that weren't affiliated with DuMont. The DuMont company made very good television sets for that era. Some of the best but expensive.
My grandparents had a Dumont TV in the 1950's. It had a circular dial to change the stations. We could pick up FM stations between Channels 5 and 6 I think. It could have been 6 and 7.
Watch it now before it gets trolled off! Thanks Fran!
