Abstract
A film positioning device can include a housing, a feed mechanism, and a controller. The housing defines a film receptacle. The feed mechanism is positioned at the film receptacle and configured to move film along the film receptacle. The controller is coupled to the feed mechanism. The controller is configured to control the feed mechanism to move film along the film receptacle. And, based on control of the feed mechanism, the controller is configured to output a camera actuation signal to cause a camera to capture an image of the film.
Claims20
A film positioning device comprising:
- a housing defining a film receptacle, the housing including a mount support;
- a feed mechanism positioned at the film receptacle, wherein the feed mechanism is configured to move film along the film receptacle;
- and
- a controller coupled to the feed mechanism, wherein the controller is configured to control the feed mechanism to move film along the film receptacle, and wherein, based on control of the feed mechanism, the controller is configured to output a camera actuation signal to cause a camera to capture an image of the film,
- wherein the mount support is configured to removably secure a first camera mount to the housing, the first camera mount including an upper surface, a lower surface that defines an imaging window, and a lens receiving opening extending from the upper surface to the imaging window, the lens receiving opening having a width that reduces along a length from the upper surface toward the lower surface to configure the first camera mount to receive a lens portion of a first type of camera and hold the lens portion of the first type of camera in place relative to the film receptacle.
