Software That Enables Increased Productivity and Powerful Processing of Difficult Images

 

NextStar software introduces an innovative processing methodology called Ribbon Scanning. With Ribbon Scanning, an entire roll of film or jacket of 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 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 base scanner, to large distributed production systems, the software components communicate between multiple platforms and work is scheduled and shared between many operators.

 

NextStar is designed with enterprise expandable architecture and includes all the excellent image enhancement features needed to produce the best in image quality without all the hard work.

 

NextStar’s innovative approach not only introduces the new scanning methodology of the 21st century, but it also has changed the cost of scanning film and fiche.
