The compact box, in which the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i is delivered in, contains the full accessories one needs to directly get started with the scanning. Except the software equipment the delivery contents of the 8200i doesn't differ from his predecessor. So besides the scanner by itself one each time finds a film holder for film strips with up to six pictures length and for up to four framed slides. Also a power adapter as well as a USB-cable naturally exists, as well as also a merely unnecessary carrier bag. CALIBRATE PLUSTEK SCANNER PLUSĪt the software site the Plustek-scanner arrives together with NewSofts Presto! PageManager, the spartan Plustek-QuickScan-program as well as like said the professional Scansoftware SilverFast SE Plus 8 (OpticFilm 8200i SE) respectively SilverFast Ai Studio 8 (OpticFilm 8200i Ai). The Plustek OpticFilm 8200i Ai is delivered additionally with a IT-8 calibration slide, with whom the calibrating function implemented in SilverFast Ai can be used. On side of the hardware like already mentioned nothing has changed since the direct predecessor model: The sensor of the OpticFilm 8200i offers a maximum resolution of 7200 ppi. That sounds like very much: In absolute terms from a 35mm-image-scan with this resolution an image file with about 70 million pixels results. This amounts to an uncompressed file of about 210 M Byte in size at a color depth of 24 Bit. Such a scan at 48 bit color depth generates a picture file of about 420 M Byte. But the one who already has dealt with topics like film scanners knows, that the resolution mentioned by the producer and the effectively attainable resolution mostly are two very different animals. How it's handled here for the OpticFilm 8200i wo show further down below in the chapter picture quality. The integrated infrared-light source enables scans with the hardware based dust- and scratch correction iSRD. Both in the SE-Plus- and in the Ai-version the submittals can also be scanned using the multiExposure method, whereby the dynamic range can be lightly increased, in which the slide respectively the negative are sampled with two different exposures and the software after that calculates both scans to one picture.īecause on the hardware side nothing has changed, also the corresponding controls of the OpticFilm 7600i: There is a power-button together with related, green LED as well as an IntelliScan- and a QuickScan-key.
