Microfilm
Reader/Scanners
There has been a lot of commotion in the
marketplace about these new
video streaming microfiche/microfilm scanners that display directly
onto your
PC.
They have all got the
same problem of brand new software that has never
been fully tested. Lets quickly look at
some examples:
What they all are attempting to do is what
Canon and Kodak have already
created with their different systems.
Also the high-end microfilm scanning systems like Sunrise, Wicks
&
Wilson and DRS-Online already have the functionality and robustness
within
their software.
The other catch they do not mention is it
is best to have at least a
22” screen with a high-end graphics card with 512Megabytes of memory
on-board.
Want a full version of the review on these
three products, then contact
us today stating
what you require and we will e-mail you a copy.
