Operating the SIERRA™ plus film digitizer 1-61
VIDAR Film Digitizer Installation Guide
Loading a single film
1. Assure the LED on the front of the digitizer is solid green.
2. Hold the film in front of you as you would view it on a light box.
Note:
If you load the film incorrectly, the digitized image may
be flipped or rotated.
3. Pull the film guide forward, place the film
in the entrance slot—as far left as it will
go, then gently release the film guide.
When the SIERRA™ plus detects the
film, it stages the film—it pulls the film in
about 1" (2.5cm), then pushes the film
back out about 1/2" (1.25cm).
Note:
When the film is staged, it is over the digitizer’s light path.
SIERRA’s ADC (Automatic Digitizer Calibration) feature requires
that the light path be clear for proper background calibration.
Thus, if a film remains in the digitizer for more than 5 minutes, it
will be pushed up 1/4" (0.6cm) to clear the light path. Later,
when you execute your software’s
Scan
command, the film will
be re-staged before it is digitized.
