type, the desired quality and the application.
Digital ROC™
Digital ROC™ restores colors lost through
fading of the original film. After calculating the
amount of color shift, it then instantly rebuilds
and restores the deteriorated color values auto-
matically. The results are faithfully rendered
digitized images.
Digital GEM™
Digital GEM™ reduces the effects of film grain.
It reads the grain details in film, extracting all
the vital data related to image quality and color.
The resulting images are sharp, clear and
devoid of grain clumping or graininess.
Notes:
• Digital ICE™ is compatible with both color film and color process monochrome film, but is not recommended for use with
monochrome film.
• With the 5000 or V ED, when Digital ICE™ is applied to Kodachrome film, blurred images or localized loss of detail may
occasionally occur, depending on the film used.
• With the 9000 ED, when using Digital DEE™ to scan medium-format film in a Windows® operating environment, "Crop"
palette settings must be adjusted so that the file size is 169MB or less.
