Abstract

A film writer and viewer system operable to reduce the exposure requirements of the writer and thereby extend its life by providing a pre-exposure lamp to increase the density of the film to a first value and by providing an image enhancer on the output of a video camera viewing the film to increase the contrast between the information on the film and the background for subsequent viewing.
