Abstract

An imaging system for generating a image on film from video image data incorporates feedback control techniques to provide control of film density. The system includes variable gain amplifiers responsive to light intensity output of a film writing device for maintaining the output at a desired set level. In addition, the system includes apparatus and a method for monitoring the density of film images produced by the system and for utilizing the monitored values to modify the system transfer function in a direction to effect a change in the film density towards a desired value.
