A method for a film transfer device includes receiving a digital image in the film transfer device, wherein the digital image comprises a plurality of square pixels, wherein the digital image comprises a first number of pixels in a horizontal direction and a second number of pixels in a vertical direction, and wherein the digital image comprises a non-anamorphic version of an image, and optically converting the digital image into an optical output image to film media in the film transfer device, wherein the optical output image is associated with a plurality of non-square pixels, wherein the optical output image is associated with the first number of pixels in the horizontal direction and the second number of pixels in the vertical direction, and wherein the optical output image comprises an anamorphic version of the image.

Anamorphic recording method and apparatus

A method for forming an image transfer apparatus includes providing first image data to a flat-panel display, displaying a first output image on the flat-panel display in response to the first image data, wherein the first output image includes an optical distortion associated with a film disposed onto a front transparent media of the flat-panel display, recording the first output image onto film media with a film recorder movably coupled to the flat-panel display, producing a complementing image in response to the first output image as recorded on the film media, and disposing the complementing image on an optical path of the film recorder.

Flat panel image to film transfer method and apparatus

A spectroscope includes a light source providing a first and a second range of wavelengths, a dispersion unit to receive light and to output the first and second range of wavelengths at different angles, a positioning mechanism to position the dispersion unit such that the first range of wavelengths is applied to a first patch of a frame of film, to position the dispersion unit such that the second range of wavelengths is applied to the first patch but not the second patch and the first range of wavelengths is applied to the second patch at a second time, and to position the dispersion unit such that the second range of wavelengths is applied to the second patch, a first detector to detect responses from the frame of film from the first patch, and a second detector to independently detect responses from the frame of film from the second patch.
