Time Table - imacon FLEXTIGHT 949 Datasheet

The Time Machine
200 amazing MB per minute and that includes
saving the file to disc. This kind of speed has
only previously been seen with photo lab
scanners scanning filmstrips. But what does it
actually mean? Look at the scheme on the
right hand side
The Repair Machine
As you can see from the pictures on the right,
the diffuse light source has a significant
impact on reducing the visibility of dust and
scratches. The original shown is VERY
scratched.
The sharpness of the high-end scanner picks
up every detail (Picture 1 – High-End scanner).
The Flextight 949 masks almost all artifacts in
a normal image and most of the artifacts that
you see in this particular damaged original –
without sacrificing the image sharpness
(Picture 2 – Flextight 949).
If you then add the revised FlexTouch dust and
scratch removal tool (Picture 3 – Flextight 949
+ FlexTouch) it works as well as some scan-
ners which use time consuming infra red
scans to do the same.
Do you also notice the impact on the grain
structure of the film? The image looks much
smoother on the 949, which again gives you
the ability to add more digital sharpness
without risking grainy scans.
The Reliability Machine
A virtue which goes with the Imacon Flextight
family is the durability.
A simple but very solid construction has
made its mark and today we have thousands
of Flextight scanners working steadily along,
providing their users with high quality scans
day in and day out.
However, with the significant speed improve-
ments of the 949, we have optimized the
mechanical construction.
This scanner has the potential to scan 10
times the amount of images that can be
scanned by an early Flextight. We have
assured that the mechanics are prepared
for that.
