Minolta’s high-speed, high-resolution Dimâge Scan Multi scans a variety of film formats including 35mm, 16mm, medium format, and sleeved Advanced Photo System film. With the optional adapter, Advanced Photo System cassettes can be used. The Dimâge Scan Multi also accepts transmission electron microscope (TEM) film, and is ideal for professional use in photographic, design, printing, and medical fields.

Features:

VERSATILITY

• Multi-Format Compatibility – Even up to 6 x 9cm!
  In terms of scanning versatility, the Dimâge Scan Multi is the clear leader in its class. In addition to 35mm films, it also handles several sizes of medium (120/220) format films which have become popular among professional photographers, as well as Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) films, 16mm and Advanced Photo Systems films. This makes it ideal for a broad range of applications – in photo and design studios, for DTP and website development, in medical facilities, universities, publishing houses, and many types of small businesses.
  For maximum convenience, three different film holders are supplied with the scanner. The 35mm Film Holder accept six frames of 35mm film, the Slide Mount Holder accepts four frame-mounted positives or negatives, and the Medium Format Holder has masks for different sizes, including those for 16mm and Advanced Photo system sleeve film. The slide Feeder for 50 mounted slides and the Advanced Photo System Adapter are available as options.

• Minolta’s Unique JOB Function: Making the various settings for different scanning jobs is typically time-consuming and complicated. Minolta has changed all that with new driver software that has approx. 600 settings preset for you in nine categories. You just choose the category, select your desired setting and press OK. You can even customize your own settings and store them on your hard disk.

• Precise Image Compensation with Easy Confirmation
  In addition to histogram and tone curve compensation, the Dimâge Scan Multi offers a new easy-to-use Variation Window that lets you adjust the RGB color balance, brightness and contrast. The compensated image is displayed in the center of the window with the original image in the same size on the left, so you can easily confirm the degree of variation. What’s more, you can enlarge both of these images at a single click for more detailed scrutiny.

• Max. 2,820dpi Input Resolution: Scanning to a high standard of image fidelity is essential for professional applications. Dimâge Scan Multi gives you the performance you need, reading 35mm, 16mm and Advanced Photo Systems film images with a maximum input resolution of 2,820dpi. 120/220 films and others are read to a resolution of 1,128dpi (when the image data of these larger films are compressed to the same size as 35mm, the quality is the same).

• 12-bit Image Input:Image input refers to how many gradations from lightest to darkest are used to compose the image. This is also an important factor in determining scanner quality. 12-bit input of the Dimâge Scan Multi means that the image has four times more gradations than conventional 10-bit types, resulting in smoother, more faithful color rendition. Furthermore, in addition to conventional 24-bit output (8 bits per R/G/B), the utility software permits 48-bit output (16 bits per R/G/B) when saved in the TIFF 48 file format.

• High Precision Autofocus: Minolta’s expertise in autofocus cameras has been put to good use in the Dimâge Scan Multi. In addition to standard auto focusing, the Point AF function lets you direct the autofocus at any particular point. Manual focusing is also possible, for producing your own creative images or for de-focusing specks on the film.

• Wide 3.6 Dynamic Range: Dynamic range, or the ability to read optical density, is yet another vital scanner attribute. The wide dynamic range of 3.6 of the Dimâge Scan Multi ensures highly accurate scanning of the original image.

HIGH PRODUCTIVITY

• Continuous Scanning: Up to six frames of 35mm sleeves can be continuously scanned, one by one in the order the frames appear in the holder. The Dimâge Scan Multi also allows continuous scanning of up to four frames with mounted films and up to 40 frames with Advanced Photo System film.

• Slide Feeder Holds 50 Mounted Slides: An optional Slide Feeder makes it easy to scan large numbers of slides. It holds 50 mounted slides, which can be fed through automatically and are collected one by one in a separate slide carrier*. Scanning numerous slides for presentations and so on becomes an easy task.
  *When using slide mount with regular shape and 1/16 – 1/8 in. thickness.

• Fast Scanning: Scanning accuracy is important, but you don’t want it to slow down your work. The Dimâge Scan Multi is not only high quality, it’s fast: Minolta’s original scanning IC optimizes scanning control, so medium format films are scanned as quickly as 35mm films.
