Abstract
A photographic film preparation workstation for supplying a high speed photographic printer and an index printer with film image computational data and film encoded data includes a film motion controller subsystem for controlling film movement, a film code reader subsystem for reading optically encoded film data, a magnetics reader subsystem for reading magnetically encoded film data, a film scanner subsystem for scanning film image data and generating a scanned image signal, a magnetics writer subsystem for optionally writing magnetic data to new format films, and a workstation controller in communication with the workstation subsystems for organizing, storing, and distributing subsystem signals.
