GG Alternative

maybe someone knows - what kind of GG telecine* unit uses? maybe it will work for us also?

*-----------------------
telecine = process of transfering film to video tape.

They dont use GG.

In its most basic form its a video camera capturing the film directly while its back lit.

so, what kind of SCREEN is then back lit?
it must be something - not just light bulb in background :)
as i understand it looks like this:

light source -->screen -->film&gate-->video camera
..........oo
*| ][ >[_]

please ignore the dots :)

right?

if yes - then the screen is obviously there and it is some kind of diffuser. but maybe much less transparent then GG. maybe not. i do not know, maybe someone knows...

thanks,
