Abstract
A device for scanning films (1) includes a converter (6) for forming an image data signal (11), and for improving the data transfer between the film scanner and a computer network coupled thereto. The image data signal (11) is supplied via a first data interface of the converter (6) in a data format for a single-channel transfer. To transfer the information about the contents of a scanned frame from the film scanner to a further processing stage, one transfer channel is sufficient so that further transfer channels, particularly for feedback information to the film scanner, can be dispensed with. This yields particularly a significantly higher transfer rate.
