Patent ID: 7787010

Claim:
A recording system comprising: a first digital imaging device comprising an electronically addressable digital flat panel display configured to display a first static digital image of a first video frame and a successive second static digital image of a second digital video frame, said first static digital image video frame being generated directly from source data representative of a first full digital source image and said second static digital image video frame being generated directly from source data representative of a second full digital source image of a movie; a control unit coupled to the flat panel display, said control unit being configured to receive video data including first digital data associated with the first video frame and second digital data associated with the second video frame, wherein the control unit is also configured to determine the first video frame in response to the data associated with the first video frame and configured to determine the second video frame in response to the data associated with the second video frame, and wherein the control unit is also configured to drive the flat panel display with the first video frame and the second video frame; a film recorder configured to record, onto movie film media, the first and second static digital images displayed on the flat panel display at a spatial resolution, color purity and depth resolution conforming to that of the first full digital image and the second full digital image; and an adjustment mechanism coupled to the flat panel display and to the film recorder, the adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the orientation of the flat panel display relative to the film recorder in order to capture a succession of said first frame and said second frame; a second digital imaging device comprising a digital light projector device coupled to the control unit, the digital light projector being configured to illuminate the back side of the digital flat panel display; wherein the control unit is also configured to drive the digital light projector with the first video frame while the flat panel display is driven with the first video frame in order to enhance location-specific brightness and color of the corresponding full digital static image displayed by the first digital imaging device as photographed by the film recorder.
