Abstract: Described herein is processor for providing image data signalling to a projector. The provided image data signalling represents an image to be projected by the projector. The processor comprises both an input to receive movement signalling associated with movement of the projector, and an output configured to provide image data signalling to the projector. The processor is also configured to provide image data signalling to the projector based on received movement signalling.

Abstract: A motion picture camera has a film receiving chamber with an image recording location and a sound recording location. When a sound film is loaded, it is guided to through both locations whereas when a silent film is loaded, it is guided through only the image recording location. A first film feed device and a second film feed device are provided; the first of which transports the film at the image recording location intermittently and the second film feed device transports the film at the sound recording location at a substantially constant speed. Apparatus are provided to detect disorder or abnormal change in operations of the camera and to stop the motion of the camera when such change occurs.

Abstract: A programmable viewing system for processing and viewing cassette contained photographic film strips including a chassis defined by a centrally disposed vertical plate-like casting on which all internal viewer components cooperable mechanically and/or optically with the cassette are mounted together with a cassette well by which the cassette may be registered with such viewer components. A programming cam disc is rotatably carried by the casting for controlling both electrical switches for controlling an electronics logic system as well as shiftable viewer component positioning members, one on each side of the casting. The programming cam disc further controls cassette ejection. The spools of the cassette are driven by an electric motor through a clutch.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing and viewing cassette contained film strips automatically in response to the condition of a cassette containing the film strip in accordance with programmed operational modes determined by an electro-mechanical logic system. The logic system enables the use of a single unidirectional electric motor for driving all viewer apparatus components including a programming cam disc between "off", "project" and "process/rewind" positions. A power switch organization brings about energization of the motor upon cassette insertion as well as movement of the logic disc to the off position upon a combination of cassette ejection and rotation of the camming disc to the off position. Motor operation in the process mode is controlled by an electronics system controlled by a combination of the programming disc position and the conductive or non-conductive state of cassette contained contacts which correspond respectively to the unprocessed or processed state of the film strip in the cassette.

Abstract: An electromagnet release device for a motion picture camera having a drive motor, a shutter control member actuated by the driving force of the motor, a blocking mechanism to selectively block the actuation of the shutter control member, an electromagnet member to control the actuation of the blocking mechanism and a release control switching member with a delay circuit having a charging circuit that delays, for a predetermined time, the timing of the actuation of the motor relative to the timing of the actuation of the electromagnet and a discharging circuit to keep the motor energized for a period after the electromagnet is released to assure the driving of the shutter to the proper stop position. Circuits are also shown for reducing magnet current during continuous operation and for timing the operated period of the electromagnet in single frame operation.
