Hasselblad Flextight X1 - Manual (Page 3)

Flextight X1
The Flextight X1 model should serve
most photographers’ needs. Quality is
unsurpassed, it is fast and it can take
care of most kinds of originals. And, as
with any other scanner in this family, it
is easy to use.
- 6300 maximum resolution of 6300dpi
- Up to 60 MB/min.
- Batch scanning capabilities
- Software based dust removal facility
- Simplified workflow with
3F Auto Scan button
Key features:
The new Flextight scanners make it
possible to carry out the finest quality
scans with a single click of a button.
We have placed a control button on the
scanner itself, that enables one-touch
scanning with all personal settings
intact. High quality scanning has never
been easier!
When selecting the 3F file format in auto-
matic scan mode, images are scanned
at a specified resolution of 16 bits per
color. In this way the full color range of
the original is extracted from the scan.
The 3F file is never altered but acts as
a sort of "preview scan" when you open
it later, enabling you to re-do all opera-
tions or change any parameter you wish.
Consider it like re-scanning, but without
the film original present.
Furthermore – every time you save a
file from the 3F format, your action his-
tory is embedded in the 3F file, which
enables you to repeat these actions
whenever you like. The 3F workflow also
allows you to produce final TIFF images,
cropped and corrected, with a single
click of a button.
The Unique 3F Workflow Sharpness and resolution
Even though you can find scanners with
larger sensors you will not find better
clarity and detail rendition when scan-
ning photographic film. That is due to
the electronic handling of the sensor,
the mechanical precision as well as
the quality of filters and the resolving
power of the Rodenstock lens. The
Flextight scanners are not only a piece
of art seen from the outside the entire
machinery is saturated with excellent
solutions.
Keeping it cool
Heat reduction solutions are another
example of features not found on lower
range scanners. By removing the power
supply outside the scanner and using a
cold cathode light tube, which produces
very little infrared waves, Hasselblad
scanners eliminate two common
sources of heat-related noise. Our X5
scanner even has active sensor cooling,
which means that an electronic cooling
device is placed directly on the CCD,
which increases signal to noise ration
by 1 to 2 bits.
