The Nikon Difference — exclusive core technologies for unrivaled performance

In the decade since Nikon unveiled the first COOLSCAN film scanner, we have accumulated considerable expertise and applied it to the development of exclusive, cutting-edge technologies. They serve as the foundation for the unparalleled performance offered by each model in the COOLSCAN lineup.

Scanner Nikkor ED lens

The single most important element in the production of high-quality scans is the lens. As you would expect from a world leader in optical technology, Nikon has incorporated lenses of the highest quality in each of our film scanners.

Compared to ordinary glass, our ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens elements are superior in edge-to-edge sharpness, definition and contrast, as well as color registration, saturation and accuracy. No scanner manufacturer can match this level of optical performance.

Low-heat, high-accuracy LED light source

Most competitors's scanners use halogen or fluorescent lamps as light sources, but they require time to warm up and the heat they generate can cause damage to film. Nikon's COOLSCAN series are the only scan-

ners to employ LEDs as their source of light. LEDs are a stable, precise light source requiring neither maintenance nor warmup time, and there's no risk of your film suffering heat-related damage. LED illumination also assures stability in color characteristics, which contributes to faithful reproduction.

Nikon Color Management System

The Nikon Color Management System, or Nikon CMS, provides consistently accurate reproduction of image data on monitors and in printouts. This powerful tool permits the manipulation of colors in the calibrated RGB color spaces

before the data are transferred to the host application. Profiles detailing the color characteristics and the output device (monitor or printer) ensure high color-accuracy in almost any operating environment. Each scanner in Nikon's COOLSCAN lineup is compatible with ICC (International Color Consortium) version 4 standards.

Digital ICE AdvancedTM

Applied Science Fiction

Nikon's world-renowned optics and } innovative lighting help to optimize the effectiveness of Digital ICE4

Advanced™ components, making Nikon scanners and the automatic image correction technology an ideal match.

The latest editions of Nikon's COOLSCAN film scanners are the first ever to offer Digital ICE™, Digital ROCTM, Digital GEM™ and Digital DEETM all in one package. In addition to providing superb image correction, the power of these technologies also serves to improve the time- and cost-efficiency of your enterprise, regardless of scale.

Digital ICE Advanced™ are technologies developed by Applied Science Fiction.

In order to clearly present the benefits of this function, the image's gamma values have been adjusted.

Improved color negative scanning

Nikon has upgraded its negative film scanning algorithm, significantly boosting image quality. Details that were once hidden in the darker portions of an image are now revealed. Correction of color casts found in color negative film has also been achieved, and monochrome negative film scans now offer smoother, more natural gradation.

Efficient autofocus delivers crisp, accurate images

Scanning curled film strips and film mounts of varying thickness means that the film plane will not always be in the same position relative to the lens. This makes accurate focusing essential in producing superior-quality scans. Nikon's new film scanners feature fast, precise autofocusing, for crisp, clear images quickly and easily. For even higher accuracy, you can select a particular focus point on an image about to be scanned.

Superior scans through Nikon's image control

By using image control features such as Unsharp Mask, Tone Curve and LCH editor during the scanning process, you are virtually guaranteed images of higher quality than would result from post-scan adjustments made using other image control software.

Multi-sample scanning for rich, noise-free images

The multi-sample scanning feature exposes details in the darker portions of photos while eliminating nearly all noise that can appear in those areas after only one scan. By making as many as 16 passes, multi-sample scanning — only available with the SUPER COOLSCAN 9000 ED and 5000 ED — helps ensure

faithful reproduction with smoother gradation.

ast, efficient scanning

Quick operation

Simply turn on the power, and the scanner is ready for operation.

When using the SLIDE MOUNT ADAPTER

MA-21, focus is achieved automatically once the scanner recognizes the type of film about to be scanned. You can begin scanning right away, as necessary exposure adjustments are made during image preview.

Batch scanning for increased productivity You can easily initiate the automatic scanning of multiple frames. For example, using the STRIP FILM ADAPTER SA-21 with the 5000 ED or V ED enables batch scanning of as

many as 6 frames, or the 35mm STRIP FILM HOLDER FH-835S with the 9000 ED for up to 12 frames — and you can select different settings for each frame.

The 5000 ED can batch-scan up to 40 frames of an uncut roll of film (optional ROLL FILM ADAPTER SA-30), or up to 50 mounted slides (optional AUTO SLIDE FEEDER SF-210),

giving you time-efficient, high-quality scanning capability.

imple, user-friendly operation

Easy Scanning Guide Nikon COOLSCAN and SUPER COOLSCAN filscanners come with an Easy Scanning Guide CD-ROM which feature a Flash™ animated

explanation of the setup and operation of your new scanner. It also advises you on the quickest way to scan images based on the film type, the desired quality and the application.

Quality scans made easy

Even first-time scanner users will be astonished at how simple quality film scanning can be. Nikon Scan 4 features an intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface) that allows you to quickly and easily preview images and even make necessary adjustments before scanning.

asy digital archive creation

Nikon View

Nikon View is a comprehensive digital imaging software package that enables you to store and check scanned images effortlessly. It features searching and tagging functions that simplify digital archiving. And Nikon View's browser allows you to easily view, edit and print image files that have been saved to your computer's hard disk.

Digital ICE™ (Image Correction & Enhancement)

Digital ICE™ works in tandem with Nikon's special LED illumination to remove surface defects like dust and scratches from a scanned image without altering the underlying composition, details or any other elements of the original image.

Digital ICE Professional™

The 9000 ED features Digital ICE Professional™ which is an advanced version of Digital ICE™

and compatible with Kodachrome film.

Digital ROC™ (Restoration of Color)

Digital ROCT™ restores colors lost through fading of the original film. After calculating the amount of color shift, it then instantly rebuilds and restores the deteriorated color values automatically. The results are faithfully rendered digitized images.

Digital GEM™ (Grain Equalization & Management)

Digital GEM^TM reduces the effects of film grain. It reads the grain details in film, extracting all the vital data related to image quality and color. The resulting images are sharp, clear and devoid of grain clumping or graininess.

Digital DEE™ (Dynamic Exposure Extender)

Digital DEETM makes its debut in Digital ICE AdvancedTM. This new feature helps reveal details that are sometimes lost in shadows and highlights. It compensates for the underexposure of backlit subjects or shaded areas as well as the overexposure of brightly lit areas.

With Digital DEE™

Without Digital DEETM

Notes:

Digital ICE™ is compatible with both color film and color process monochrome film, but is not recommended for use with monochrome film.

• With the 5000 or V ED, when Digital ICE™ is applied to Kodachrome film, blurred images or localized loss of detail may occasionally occur, depending on the film used.
• With the 9000 ED, when using Digital DEE™ to scan medium-format film in a Windows® operating environment, "Crop" palette settings must be adjusted so that the file size is 169MB or less.

Pro quality and multi-format versatility

3-line CCD sensor

The SUPER COOLSCAN 9000 ED scans a variety of film formats, including medium format (120/220), 35mm (135) format, 16mm, electron microscope and prepares (glass slides for a microscope). To reproduce the high definition of medium format films, the 9000 ED boasts special optics at new 3-line CCD image sensor. The Scanner Nikko

lens has a larger, specially designed diameter which ensures high-resolution reading of medium-format film while delivering unparalleled optical purity to the CCD.

Crisp, vivid, color-true images

With 4,000 dpi optical resolution and 16-bit A/D conversion, astoundingly vivid images are produced. For example, using 8,946 × 8,946 -pixel image data in a 6 × 6 format, over 65,000 steps per color (RGB) are at the 9000 ED's disposal. The LED light source is also specially designed for multi-format scanning, with LEDs for each color (RGB plus IR) using dispersed rod illumination (see illustration). The result is a smoother reproduction of picture grain and more accurate reading and rendering of every color.

Expert image control features

Rod dispersion LED illumination

The SUPER COOLSCAN 9000 ED with Nikon Scan 4 provides you with comprehensive digital darkroom capability. Enhanced LED illumination has enabled the incorporation of Digital ICE Professional™, which is effective with Kodachrome film. With only a few pre-scan adjustments, you can achieve high-quality images that remain faithful to the original color composition — something other image-control applications struggle with. Nikon's Color Management System (CMS) also ensures that every shade and hue can be accurately reproduced in nearly all operating environments.
