For a period of time there was TV but no way to record it onto magnetic tape, so you'd use a telecine (closed box with a film camera pointed at a TV screen) to record what was being broadcast. To air it again, you'd use a cinetele (tv camera pointed at a projected screen).
I've heard the term telecine but I've never encountered any telecine media that was differentiable from any other media, at least to my untrained eye.
Do you know where I could find a good example of what a telecine'd video would look like, or are they indifferentiable today?
Film grain would be the obvious giveaway, but there's a lot of effort into making the transfer as clean as possible.
