What are you after?
This is called Telecine, and it’s a process as old as television itself.
So there might be a small chance you can find a bit more info here and there.

What you are proposing is a way that absolutely no one uses. There is either a 
lock between projector and cam so there is a 1:1 relation, or a cam is used 
with dynamic shutter speed.
(Besides frame to frame scanning that is dog slow but high quality.)

Unless you have tons to do / or are trying to build a new system, or are a 
total nerd who finds joy in torturing himself to save a few bucks at the cost 
of A LOT of work, find a company that does this for you.
I don’t see a reason to re-invent the wheel in this case.
