Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 Features

Congratulations on your purchase of the ScanWit film scanner! The ScanWit film scanner is the utmost cost-effective solution for film scanning. Its high capability is bound to boost your scan job efficiency significantly. It is equipped with the following unique features:

High Speed Scanning

With the capability of scanning each film frame within 40 seconds, ScanWit saves you precious time and allows you to arrange your scan job flexibly.

High Optical Resolution and Color Definition

While offering an astonishing high scanning speed, ScanWit film scanner maintains a high optical resolution at 2700dpi. This enables the finest details in the film to be captured accurately. ScanWit can differentiate between 4096 gradations of each color for faithful reproduction of details in the film.

Auto Positioning and Focusing Technology

With the auto positioning and focusing technology, you will no longer have to adjust the focus manually to get a sharp and clear image. ScanWit will do it all automatically.

Zero-Reflection Optical Design

While most film scanners are using multi-reflection mechanisms to do film scanning, ScanWit utilizes its break-through zero-reflection optical technology by letting light pass straight through to the tri-linear color CCD without any mirror reflection. This feature ensures that geometric distortion will not occur to the scanned image.

Auto-Loading Mechanism and Scan Button for Easy Scanning

ScanWit employs an auto-loading mechanism to let you load and preview films quickly and conveniently. In just one click, you can preview films together without inserting each film into the machine one by one. The scan button simplifies the scanning procedures: when the scan button is pushed, ScanWit will activate and the preview the pre- loaded film automatically.
