FlexScan uses superior camera technology that produces incredible speed, precision and uniform output. Scanned images are sharper with better edge definition because FlexScan uses fiberoptics as its light source, eliminating hot spots and uneven lighting.
This capability coupled with the revolutionary NextStar software, makes the flexscan the best microform scanner available in the market today.
NextStar Software Functionality
|
FlexScan combined with the new NextStar software introduces an innovative processing methodology called Ribbon Scanning. An entire roll of film or microfiche is digitised from top-to-bottom and end-to-end in grayscale and stored as a single ribbon (image) file. Ribbon Scanning solves many of the challenges encountered today in the conversion process from microfilm or microfiche to digital images. NextStar software, with its innovative Ribbon Scanning, was designed to reduce conversion costs while boosting productivity. |
NextStar allows the user to verify that all images are correctly captured, and identifies any image detection or density problems. NextStar then allows the operator to correct those issues in a post-scan audit environment.
NextStar eliminates the need for rescans resulting from density or frame detection problems, maximising scanner utilisation and productivity. With NextStar’s superior image quality, handling any density and filming related issues commonly faced in conversion processes is easy, outputting images that actually match your database.
NextStar enables the user to manage the end-to-end conversion process. It is modular and expandable. From basic set-ups where all components run on the FlexScan Scanner, to large distributed production systems, the software components communicate between multiple platforms and work is scheduled and shared between many operators.
