Ribbon scanning prevents information loss
The NextScan Eclipse is the fastest 16/35mm roll film scanners on the market. Service bureaus and digitization departments will find the quality and speed of the Eclipse offers superior workflow. The Eclipse high-speed microfilm scanner quickly converts roll film into high quality digital images up to 2200 frames per minute.
A key feature on the Eclipse is the ribbon scanning technique that captures a full roll of microfilm in one continuous image which is later separated into individual images. Ribbon scanning ensures that none of the documents on a roll are missed in the scanning process which prevents information loss and re-scans.
