Typical scanning time for standard 230x230 mm photo

Geometric parameters

The scanner provides a high resolution, which is 8 µm (3175dpi).

Root mean square error of scanning does not exceed ±3 µm. The value of root mean square error is determined by scanning and measuring the control grid;

Scanner is supplied with a unit for scanning roll films up to 250 mm wide (300 mm for 300x450 model).

Radiometric parameters

Scanner is equipped with a SONY color linear CCD-sensor and a light source based on a power LED array: components that provide superb quality of output images;

Controller of the CCD-sensor provides an internal 12-bit storage for intensities within each color channel that is transformed by hardware into 8-bit output;

Scanner provides scanning of both color and black-and-white materials and the scanning software stores output as True Color (42 bit) or gray scale (14 bit) image files;

The scanning software automatically detects optimal values of exposition, contrast and gamma for each color channel;

Scanner can perform scanning in two modes: density linear and intensity linear, which provide optimal results for photographs of any quality;

Scanning time for a 230x230 image in True Color mode at a 16 µm pixel size is 15 minutes;

Scanning time for a 230x230 image in grayscale mode at a 16 µm pixel size is 6 minutes.

Scanning software

Works in single image or batch mode (for automatic model);

Supports scanning to TIFF (uncompressed or JPEG) and BMP formats where the pixel size is 8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,32 … 128 µm;

Contains a powerful unit for correction and transformation of output images and automatic inner orientation.
