ABSTRACT:
A multi-format scanner, has first and second laterally spaced film gates which are dimensioned to accomodate film of respective different widths lengthwise therethrough for scanning. Each gate has an aperture through which light can pass. A light source illuminates film at the aperture of at least a selected one of the gates. A sensor receives light from the light source which has passed through film at the aperture of the selected gate. A film input and output track set is aligned with the selected gate to lengthwise convey elongated film of either width, into and out of the selected gate. A drive moves the film lengthwise through the selected gate. At least one of: the film gates, the sensor or track set, can be laterally moved so that either gate can serve as the selected gate.
