ABSTRACT:
A strip of negatives is transported over a slit extending transverse to transport, and the image of successive slit-like elements of each original is projected onto the row of photosensitive zones of a CCD image sensor unit. A photodetector also receives the image of each slit-like element, either simultaneously with the CCD image sensor unit or earlier at a more upstream location, and generates an output signal indicating the average transparency of the whole slit-like image element. The average-transparency signal is used to control the clocking frequency of the clock signal which drives the CCD image sensor unit, either by changing the clocking frequency for each read-out of the image sensor unit or by changing the clocking frequency once per original, in the latter case a peak detector circuit being used to ascertain the transparency of the maximum transparency slit-like element of each original. The CCD image sensor unit may be of the type whose clock signal identically establishes the read-out rate of the photosensitive zones of the CCD and the charge-accumulation interval thereof, or may be of the type whose clock signal establishes the charge-accumulation interval without establishing the read-out rate.
