The Nikon Difference — exclusive core technologies for unrivaled performance

In the decade since Nikon unveiled the first COOLSCAN film scanner, we have accumulated considerable expertise and applied it to the development of exclusive, cutting-edge technologies. They serve as the foundation for the unparalleled performance offered by each model in the COOLSCAN lineup.

Scanner Nikkor ED lens

The single most important element in the production of high-quality scans is the lens. As you would expect from a world leader in optical technology, Nikon

has incorporated lenses of the highest quality in each of our film scanners.

Compared to ordinary glass, our ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens ele- ments are superior in edge-to-edge sharpness, definition and con- trast, as well as color registration, saturation and accuracy. No scanner manufacturer can match this level of optical performance.

Low-heat, high-accuracy LED light source

Most competitors’ scanners use halogen or fluorescent lamps as light sources, but they require time to warm up and the heat they generate can cause damage to film. Nikon’s COOLSCAN series are the only scan-

ners to employ LEDs as their source of light. LEDs are a stable, precise light source requiring neither maintenance nor warmup time, and there’s no risk of your film suffering heat-related damage. LED illumination also assures stability in color characteristics, which contributes to faithful reproduction.

Nikon Color Management System

The Nikon Color Management System, or Nikon CMS, provides consistently accurate reproduction of image data on monitors and in printouts. This powerful tool permits the manipulation of colors in the calibrated RGB color spaces

before the data are transferred to the host application. Profiles detailing the color characteristics and the output device (monitor or printer) ensure high color-accuracy in almost any operating environ- ment. Each scanner in Nikon’s COOLSCAN lineup is compatible with ICC (International Color Consortium) version 4 standards.

Digital ICE4 Advanced™

Nikon’s world-renowned optics and } innovative lighting help to optimize the

effectiveness of Digital ICE4

Advanced™ components, making Nikon

scanners and the automatic image correction technology an ideal match.

The latest editions of Nikon’s COOLSCAN film scanners are the first ever to offer Digital ICE™, Digital ROC™, Digital GEM™ and Digital DEE™ all in one package. In addition to providing superb image correction, the power of these technologies also serves to improve the time- and cost-efficiency of your enterprise, regardless of scale.

Digital ICE4 Advanced™ are technologies developed by Applied Science Fiction.

9000 ED, 5000 ED, V ED specifications

The Nikon 9000 ED, V ED, and 5000 ED scanners are high-end image scanners that exemplify precision and advanced technology in the field of image capture and digital archiving. These models are renowned for their exceptional performance, catering to professional photographers, archivists, and enthusiasts who demand the highest image quality.

The Nikon 9000 ED is a flagship model that showcases remarkable resolution capabilities, achieving up to 4000 dpi. This high resolution is crucial for capturing fine details in film and transparencies, making it an ideal choice for scanning 35mm and medium-format film, as well as large format transparencies up to 8x10 inches. One of the standout features of the 9000 ED is its Enhanced Digital ICE technology, which minimizes dust and scratches while retaining image fidelity. This ensures that the scans are clean and professional, reducing the need for extensive post-processing.

The V ED scanner, while a more compact and cost-effective option, still offers impressive image quality with a maximum resolution of 3200 dpi. It features a user-friendly interface and is particularly suitable for 35mm film negative and slide scanning. The V ED also incorporates Digital ICE technology, which assists in the restoration of older film, making it an excellent choice for digitizing personal collections or archival materials.

The Nikon 5000 ED scanner is designed specifically for 35mm film and is an excellent tool for photographers looking to digitize their work easily. This model reaches a maximum resolution of 4000 dpi and includes the same Digital ICE technology found in the higher-end models. Its compact design makes it ideal for home use, while still ensuring that images are scanned with remarkable clarity and color accuracy.

All three models benefit from Nikon's proprietary optics and advanced scanning technology, which enhance detail capture and color reproduction. The scanners utilize a three-channel RGB optical system for precise color separation and depth, ensuring that the scanned images reflect the true colors and tones of the original film.

In summary, the Nikon 9000 ED, V ED, and 5000 ED scanners are distinguished by their high resolution, superior image processing technologies, and dedicated design for film scanning. Each model offers unique advantages catering to different user needs, from professional archiving to home digitization, ensuring that users can preserve their photographic legacy for generations to come.
