The invention relates to a film transport device for transporting a motion picture film, in particular in a film recorder, having a rotatable transport drum for the rotary guidance of the film. The transport drum has movable registration pins which can be introduced temporarily into the transport path of the film at the transport drum to precisely fix the position of the film. The invention furthermore relates to a film recorder having a film transport device of the mentioned kind and to a method of transporting a motion picture film by means of a rotating transport drum, in particular in a film recorder.
Claims19
A film transport device for transporting a motion picture film (71), in particular in a film recorder, comprising:
- a rotatable transport drum (16) for the rotary guidance of the film, wherein the transport drum (16) has movable registration pins (34, 34′), which can be temporarily introduced into the transport path of the film (71) at the transport drum to precisely fix the position of the film;
- and
- a control device (22), by which the registration pins (34, 34′) can be controlled such that the introduction of the registration pins into the transport path of the film takes place during an exposure break between a respective exposure of two sequential individual images (73) of the motion picture film.
A method for transporting a motion picture film by means of a rotating transport drum, in particular in a film recorder, comprising:
- providing the transport drum (16) with movable registration pins (34, 34′);
- and
- temporarily introducing at least one of the registration pins (34, 34′) into a perforation hole (77) of the film to precisely fix the position of the film, wherein the at least one of the registration pins (34, 34′) is introduced into the perforation holes (77) during an exposure break between a respective exposure of two sequential individual images (73) of the film.
