Abstract
Film may be scanned by routing a film from a reel through two or more scanning systems, scanning the film in parallel using the scanning systems, and creating a scanning operation dataset from the output of the scanning systems. A film scanner may include a multiple image scanning platform that creates a scanning operation dataset based on a single concurrent scanning operation of multiple images in a reel of film, and a scanning controller structured and arranged to control scanning operations, where each scanning operation involves at least one image and at least one multiple image scanning platform.
