Combined with nextScan scanners, the NextStar Workflow Software Platform can provide optimum speed and significantly reduce conversion costs by minimizing operator setup and QA, all while eliminating the need for rescans.
All image data is captured initially in grayscale as a “Ribbon”, so image enhancements can be performed at the audit workstation, enabling optimum scan time and speed, quality of output and accuracy of the overall process. Understanding the NextStar platform will help you appreciate our newest software developments. NextStar Software is designed, built and supported by nextScan, Inc.
NextStar Workflow Software Platform Details:
-
- Reliable – no images are missed during scanning. All images captured in un-compressed 12 bit grayscale ribbon files
- Simple Intuitive User Interface – with best in the industry workflow drill down capability as required.
- Adjustable Contrast and Gamma Correction after scanning
- Capable of Capture and processing of Ribbons using un-compressed data to maximize image fidelity and OCR precision
- Automatic film classification and frame detection
- Standard 5 audit workstation license. Additional licenses can be purchased.
- Easy to read – Color Coding of Frame Detection Confidence and Black-Out Mode are visual aids for Audit operator
- Simultaneous scanning Audit, Indexing & QA inspection for enhanced workflow
- Versatile – Audit, Re-Audit / QA / QC capability and Indexing, Exception Routing and user definable processes in the workflow
