Better Light Digital Scanning Cameras
TECHNICAL FEATURES

Kodak Trilinear Color CCD Technology for unsurpassed image quality
the best color separation filters in the industry
very high dynamic range with low noise and smooth gradations

Distributed Intelligence maximizes system performance
microcontroller in insert controls CCD exposure and motor drive
digital signal processor in control unit handles all pixel data processing
microprocessor in control unit operates and monitors all other functions

Triple, Variable-Speed Data Converters optimize data flow
high-speed data rate over 120 million pixels per minute
slower rates for longer exposures permit additional pixel processing time
synchronized conversion and data transfer for lowest noise

Line-Frequency Flicker Rejection with synchronous integration times
allows the use of lower wattage tungsten and standard fluorescent lighting

Enhanced DSP Resolution Reductions with a wider range of values
noise and effective bit depth both improve at lower resolution settings
scan time decreases with lower resolution settings

14-bit Data Path and Lookup Tables refine image quality
improved smoothness in shadow areas
"raw" (unprocessed) data is 14-bits (expanded to 16-bits) per color
intelligent drift correction virtually eliminates artifacts during longer scans

Continuously Variable Color Balance for precise neutrals
eliminates the possibility of color fringing from CCD exposure differences
allows continuously variable exposure sensitivity up to ASA 1600

Larger, Faster Pitch Lead Screw enhances drive system performance
increased scan length for improved 3:4 aspect ratio and greater coverage
significantly reduced potential for scan motion artifacts
fast end-to-end travel time under 5 seconds

Compact, Integrated Control Unit with internal universal AC power supply
flash memory for easy firmware upgrades without opening unit
optional high-performance internal disk drive for image data storage
fast SCSI-2 port for rapid image data transfers
optional portable system weighs less than 10 kg. (without laptop computer)
