A system for capturing images during production of printed material, the system comprising: an optical device comprising a plurality of cameras arranged in an array, wherein adjacent pairs of cameras in the array have overlapping fields of view; and characterized by : an imaging controller device configured to: determine a layout of content on printed material, determine, based on the layout of content on the printed material, an optical system configuration profile, including i) selecting one or more cameras, among the plurality of cameras, for capturing images of one or more regions of interest on the printed material, the one or more cameras being selected such that each region of interest among the one or more regions of interest fits, in its entirety, in a field of view of a particular camera among the one or more cameras, and ii) determining a trigger interval for triggering the selected one or more cameras, and trigger the selected one or more cameras at times determined based on the trigger interval to capture images of the one or more regions of interest on the printed material as the printed material moves in fields of view of the one or more cameras during production of the printed material. an optical device comprising a plurality of cameras arranged in an array, wherein adjacent pairs of cameras in the array have overlapping fields of view; and characterized by : an imaging controller device configured to: determine a layout of content on printed material, determine, based on the layout of content on the printed material, an optical system configuration profile, including i) selecting one or more cameras, among the plurality of cameras, for capturing images of one or more regions of interest on the printed material, the one or more cameras being selected such that each region of interest among the one or more regions of interest fits, in its entirety, in a field of view of a particular camera among the one or more cameras, and ii) determining a trigger interval for triggering the selected one or more cameras, and trigger the selected one or more cameras at times determined based on the trigger interval to capture images of the one or more regions of interest on the printed material as the printed material moves in fields of view of the one or more cameras during production of the printed material. determine a layout of content on printed material, determine, based on the layout of content on the printed material, an optical system configuration profile, including i) selecting one or more cameras, among the plurality of cameras, for capturing images of one or more regions of interest on the printed material, the one or more cameras being selected such that each region of interest among the one or more regions of interest fits, in its entirety, in a field of view of a particular camera among the one or more cameras, and ii) determining a trigger interval for triggering the selected one or more cameras, and trigger the selected one or more cameras at times determined based on the trigger interval to capture images of the one or more regions of interest on the printed material as the printed material moves in fields of view of the one or more cameras during production of the printed material. <EOS>
