Device and method for transferring motion pictures to a photosensitive material

Device for transferring full frame digital and/or analogue motion pictures comprising a series of frames, to a photosensitive material, said device comprising a light source, a colour filter, at least one projecting lens, a shutter device, and a transport device, characterised in that the device further comprises:

• a digital head comprising the light source, the colour filter, at least one full frame device for light modulation, the at least one projecting lens for projecting the modulated light directly onto the photosensitive material, processing electronics and software for processing the input image data, and for transport and shutter device synchronisation,
• a user interface,
• a graphical computer interface connected to the digital head, and
• at least one image sensor located adjacent to the photosensitive material and arranged to provide signals to the digital head concerning optical properties of the image projected on the photosensitive material, the digital head using the sensor signals in controlling the shutter device and/or the light modulation device,
• wherein
• the transport device is adapted for exposing, section for section, sections of the photosensitive material corresponding to each of the motion picture frames, to the modulated projected light, in such a way that the number of frames per time unit in the original motion picture corresponds to the number of projected frames per time unit.
