High Production Microfiche Scanner with Automatic Feeder
The Titan scanner delivers the highest scan speeds for microfiche scanning in a production environment, and brings the cost of microfiche scanning to an affordable price point for many users. Titan features a large automatic fiche feeder, and incorporates NextScan’s exclusive, LuminTec™ light line illumination system, next generation high quality lens, and revolutionary NextStar software.
Titan with NextStar has a production throughput (load, scan, process and unload) speed of 260 images per minute for jacketed fiche, 230 images per minute for COM fiche, and can accommodate many other types of fiche. Titan’s automatic feeder holds up to 1000 fiche depending on thickness (can hold up to 5” of fiche), enabling optimized throughput with minimal operator intervention. Additionally, the fiche load and unload time for Titan is half of other products offered today.
LuminTec is a unique, patented, advanced light line illumination system developed exclusively by NextScan. LuminTec effectively increases overall image quality, even at very high conversion speeds, without requiring scanning at a higher dpi – so no increase in image file size. Environmentally friendly, this new lighting technology yields sharper images using only 1/10 of the power of current incandescent illumination systems, thus diminishing heat generation while improving Mean Time Between Failure (100,000 hours MTBF) of the scanner as whole, and enables optimization of the Titan scanner and the many valuable features contained in nextScan’s revolutionary NextStar software that accompanies the Titan. With this new lighting system delivering even sharper images, the accuracy of OCR after the scan process is higher than with resulting images from incandescent illumination systems.
Titan, featuring LuminTec, NextStar, a next generation high quality lens and the largest feeder on the market today, provides fast processing of sharp images with better edge definition, contributes to higher OCR accuracy after the scan process, and promotes cost savings through its automated features.

NextStar Software Functionality
Titan combined with the NextStar software introduces an innovative processing methodology called "Ribbon Scanning". An entire fiche 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 to digital images. NextStar allows the user to verify that all images were properly captured, and enhance image quality as needed. NextStar’s Audit module offers a set of tools at your fingertips to allow the operator to QC, correct and enhance all images in a post-scan environment. NextStar eliminates the need for rescans resulting from density or frame detection problems, maximizing scanner utilization and productivity - allowing you to output 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 Titan scanner, to large distributed production systems, the software components communicate between multiple platforms and work is scheduled and shared between many operators.
