A device for moving and guiding a motion-picture film through the film gate of a telecine scanner is proposed, which serves for exactly positioning a film frame. It comprises a carriage which is rectilinearly reciprocated in a guide perpendicular to the optical path of the film gate, on which carriage each film frame is immobilised during the uniform forward movement. The drive means for the carriage comprises a motor-driven cam having a sawtooth-shape with sinusoidal transitions and two latching positions.

Device for moving and guiding a motion-picture film in a telecine scanner

The top surface (1a) of the TV camera has a tower block (5, 6) secured thereto including, for example, a 'camera ON' or 'red light' indicator. To provide for movement of an electronic viewfinder in form of a TV monitor (2) while preventing inadvertent rotation of the viewfinder unless the viewfinder is lifted away from the tower block, and hence to prevent damage to the tower block, an interlock arrangement is provided to prevent rotary movement of the electronic viewfinder unless the viewfinder is pivoted away from its rest position against the top surface of the TV camera into a raised working position, with interlocks (16, 17, 18, 27, 28) interlocking a first attachment arrangement securing the block structure to the electronic viewfinder for rotation about a horizontal axis (17) and a second attachment arrangement (13, 14) permitting pivoting movement of the block structure about a vertical axis, the first and second attachment arrangements being interlocked to prevent movement about both the horizontal axis (7) and the vertical axis (13a) when the viewfinder is not moved from its rest position into a raised, working position.
