Film holding device and film scanning device

A system of at least one first film holding apparatus (97) and one second film holding apparatus (97′) for holding a motion picture film (71), with the first and the second film holding apparatus each having

• a film track (33) for guiding the motion picture film;
• and
• a registration device (61, 61′) which is movable from a release position into an engagement position in which the registration device engages into the transport plane of the motion picture film in order to fix a motion picture film guided in the film track in an exact position,
• characterized in that
• the registration device (61) of the first film holding apparatus (97) engages, in its engagement position, into the transport plane of the motion picture film (71) at a reference position and the registration device (61′) of the second film holding apparatus (97′) engages, in its engagement position, into the transport plane of the motion picture film (71) at an alternative position.

A film scanning apparatus for the scanning of an exposed motion picture film (71) comprising

• at least one film holding apparatus (113) for holding the motion picture film;
• a film drive device (123, 125) for the intermittent transporting of the motion picture film;
• a light source (111) for the transmission of transmitted light in the direction of the film holding apparatus;
• and
• an optoelectronic light receiver (119) for the reception of the light transmitted by the film holding apparatus and for the production of corresponding signal values,
• wherein the film holding apparatus has a film track (33) for the guiding of the motion picture film and a registration device (61, 61′) which is movable from a release position into an engagement position in which the registration device engages into the transport plane of the motion picture film (71) in order to fix a motion picture film guided in the film track in an exact position;
• and
• wherein the film holding apparatus (113) is in particular formed in accordance with any one of the preceding claims,
• characterized in that
• at least one alternative position can be selected alternatively to a reference position for the engagement of the registration device (61, 61′) into the film transport plane.
