Digital Film Viewers and Scanners

“A whole new way of looking at Microfilm”

The Problem• The negative

perception of viewing content on microfilm– Old readers: a large box in

a darkened room– Image quality on printouts

notoriously bad– No easy way to get from

the film to a PC– Reader/Printer/Scanner

systems very large and very expensive.

“A whole new way of looking at Microfilm”

A way to change the unfair perception of film:

– Give film users a whole new way to view Microfilm– Bring the viewing experience into the light– Use a pc monitor to view images, the same way all

other digital content is viewed– Make the capture and printing of images as fast and

easy as hitting the print button on a PC– Make it possible to view, edit, store, copy, print, or

email archival quality images directly from the film
