Movietone sound system


 

The Movietone sound system is method of recording sound for moving pictures which guarantees synchronisation between the sound and the picture. It achieves this by recording the sound as an optical strip on the same strip of film used to record the pictures. It was invented in 1924 by Freeman Harrison Owens with his creation of the Movietone camera. It first entered commercial use when Fox Film Corporation bought the entire system including the patents in 1926.
