Ultra High Resolution Scanning Workstations for Transparencies and Negatives

AIA 501 Digital Reprographic Workstation for Negative Scanning Specific Application Glass Plate and Film Negative Scanning Digital File Size up to 549 MB System Components BetterLight:Model: 4000E, 6000E Super 6K-2 Super 8 K-2 Linhof Kardan RE With AIAXact Live Mirror AIAXact RSX 1 Copy Stand Rodenstock APO Lens AIAXact Desktop Repro Workstation AIAXact Lite Box with AIAXact Mask Set System Design The solution is a relatively simple design idea: combine a perfectly even and cool transmissive light source, a sturdy desktop copy stand, a high resolution digital scanning back/copycamera, and BetterLight ViewFinder software which converts negatives to positives on the fly. The result is a workstation that can average 20 – 80 captures per hour depending on media handling issues andf file sizes, and that eliminates the extra step of having to import the scan into imaging processing software for negative to positive conversion. This package is also perfect for situations where work /study students, volunteers, or other staffing issues may lead to a high attrition rate and necessitate repeated retraining sessions.
