Title: Television film scanner
Inventor: POETSCH DIETER
IPC: H04N5/253
Filed: 1985-11-01
Abstract: In a television film scanner the visibility of a bonded film frame joint is suppressed by repeating the video signal corresponding to the first undisturbed frame following the bonded joint. The video signal derived by photoelectrically scanning a film 1 is passed via digital image storage devices 12 and 30 to an output 13. Device 30 delays the video output by at least one frame period. When a bonded film frame joint is sensed 19 a shift register 22 is arranged to cause a switch 31 to output the video signal from storage device 12 while the frame disturbed by the joint is stored in device 30. Following this, the switch 31 is switched back to the output of device 30 so that the same frame is transmitted at least twice. <IMAGE>
