FlexScan 2 in 1 Scanner for Rollfilm and Microfiche

The FlexScan 2 in 1 scanner is designed to offer a complete package for users with rollfilm and microfiche scanning requirements on a limited budget.

Each FlexScan unit comes with your choice of scanning modules, exclusively designed by nextScan.

FlexScan with NextStar can scan rollfilm up to 240 pages per minute or microfiche up to 125 images per minute. The NextStar software introduces an innovative, patented, new processing methodology for use with nextScan scanners. With NextStar, speed is measured by the amount of time required to scan an entire roll of film or jacket of fiche.  For a full standard roll of film with office document images, at 200 DPI and 24X, FlexScan with NextStar can process the entire roll in 13 minutes, yielding a true speed of 240 ppm.

FlexScan uses superior camera technology that produces incredible speed, precision and uniform output.  Scanned images are sharper with better edge definition because FlexScan uses fiberoptics as its light source, eliminating hot spots and uneven lighting.

Enjoy all of the features in FlexScan you are accustomed to having in a nextScan product, now with the ability to scan rollfilm or microfiche in one unit, while moving your film conversion projects into the 21st Century with the new NextStar Software.

NextStar Software Functionality

FlexScan combined with the new NextStar software introduces an innovative processing methodology called Ribbon Scanning. An entire roll of film or jacket of microfiche is digitized from top-to-bottom and end-to-end in grayscale and stored as a single ribbon file.

Ribbon Scanning solves many of the challenges encountered today in the conversion process from microfilm or microfiche to digital images. NextStar software, with its innovative Ribbon Scanning, was designed to reduce conversion costs while boosting productivity.  NextStar allows the user to verify that all images were properly captured, and identifies any image detection or density problems.  NextStar then allows the operator to correct those issues in a post-scan audit environment.  NextStar eliminates the need for rescans resulting from density or frame detection problems, maximizing scanner utilization and productivity.  With NextStar’s superior image quality, handling any density and filming related issues commonly faced in conversion processes is easy, outputting images that actually match your database.

NextStar enables the user to manage the end-to-end conversion process.  It is modular and expandable.  From basic set-ups where all components run on the Eclipse scanner, to large distributed production systems, the software components communicate between multiple platforms and work is scheduled and shared between many operators.
