Up to 8000 dpi
◆ The very high quality Kodak CCD is an
8000+ pix sensor. Even though you can find
scanners with larger sensors you will not
find better clarity and detail rendition when
scanning photographic film. That is due to
the electronic handling of the sensor, the
mechanical precision as well as the quality
of filters and the resolving power of the
Rodenstock lens.
Up to 300 MB per minute
◆ Running the electronics at this speed
demands a great deal from the internal
design and is also a challenge in terms of
heat generation. Therefore the Flextight X5
scanners are equipped with a Peltier cooling
device on the CCD itself. In this way heat is
controlled which avoids compromising the
quality of the scans.
Dust Removal Features
◆ The scanner is equipped with a light
condenser eliminating the effect of small
dust particles, which are normally invisible
unless you zoom 100% into your image.
They can be the most annoying and time-
consuming part of scanning but they are
removed without losing speed or quality.
Additionally, you can add the FlexTouch
dust removal feature which will remove
dust and small scratches without having any
impact on the sharpness at all.
Batch and Slide Feeder
◆ By attaching the optional Batch Feeder it is
now possible to set up an automatic scan-
ning workflow. The Batch Feeder allows up
to 60 originals to be scanned, unattended.
The Batch Feeder can take most kinds of
transparencies and they are automatically
recognized and scanned according to
pre-defined specifications. The Feeder
holds up to 50 slides, which can be scanned
in one batch. The files produced can either
be final TIFF files cropped and corrected or
saved as raw 3F files, which can be opened
and corrected just if they were initial scans.
The 3F file and workflow
When selecting the 3F file format as automatic
scan mode, the image is scanned in a specified
resolution at 16 bits per color. This way, the full
range of the original is extracted from the scan.
The 3F file is never altered but acts as a preview
scan when you open it later, so you can re-do
all operations and change whatever parameter
you like. This is like re-scanning, but without
the film original present. Furthermore – every
time you save a file from the 3F format, the
history of your decisions is embedded inside
the file, which will enable you to repeat what-
ever you have been doing whenever you like.
