Shot or seen from a distance, the desk, which accommodated guests and the presenter, is in the shape of a question mark (?). A director who often filmed in this studio came up with this idea to avoid overlapping close-ups when there were numerous guests.

Television Studio
One of the first television studios in Greece has been restored in the rooms at the Museum. It was constructed by the French company Thomson and acquired by ΟΤΕ in 1968, shortly after Greek television was officially launched. It operated experimentally on the 5th floor of the OTE YMA-NYMA complex on Patission Street. At the same time, it was used for external broadcasts, and for transmission of television signal and broadcasts from the OTE Tower in Thessaloniki during the Thessaloniki International Fair.

It is mounted on a wheeled metal tripod for easy manoeuvrability and has a metal lever for controlling vertical or horizontal movements and rotating clamps for adjusting the height, and additional movement controls.

Telecine Thomson CSF
Thomson CSF 1617/1 telecine device. Manufactured in France in the late 1960s. Telecine is the process of transferring motion picture film into video or Beta. This is a movie projector for old films which does not project “onto a white screen”; instead, using a built-in device, the film is converted into video which is sent to the control room and then to your television receiver.
This telecine is also able to convert fixed images (slides) into television-compatible form, since it is equipped with a Kodak slideshow device. An enormous number of black and white films, both Greek and foreign movies, went from the big screen to the TV screen via the telecine device.
