Compact multiple image camera with color filter wheel

摘要

A compact multiple image camera sequentially exposes upon a film a number of images of a video monitor that displays pictures of a patient subjected to a scanning device. The video monitor and a folded optical system move transversely of the film, which itself is mounted for longitudinal motion to enable multiple exposures in different arrays on the film. To enable the making of color photographs of a color video image that is supplied to the black-and-white monitor, a filter disc bearing a number of color filter elements is rotatably mounted between the camera lens elements, and its motion is synchronized with the sequential feeding of individual video signal color components to the monitor and the blanking of the monitor so as to sequentially expose upon the film filtered images of the screen of the black-and-white monitor as it sequentially displays components of the different colors of the video color signal.
