Designed for fast, simple, efficient microfilming, the Minolta
DR1600 is the desktop microfilm camera for today’s microfilming
needs. Simply place a document on the copyboard and the DR1600
automatically selects both the correct reduction ration and the
proper focus. Now press the Exposure button. That's all
there is to it.
Other features include
automatic aperture size selection (single frame or double frame,
frame indexing, single corner positioning, and auto exposure control
- individual functions that work together to improve productivity
and image quality.
The Minolta DR1600
microfilm camera. Think of it when you need faster, simpler,
more versatile microfilming.
Features
Automatic Reduction and Focus
The DR1600
automatically determines the size of the document and selects both
the correct reduction ratio and the proper focus, eliminating the
need for manual adjustments.
The camera head
can be easily replaced in seconds, allowing different departments to
use their own camera heads for specific filming purposes.
A self-diagnosis
system with red LEDs warns you when film is about to run out or when
the camera head isn't locked to the main body.
In addition to
automatically sensing the height of the document to determine the
correct reduction ratio, the DR1600 also senses the document width
to determine the correct aperture size. Documents up to legal
size (8-1/2" x 14") are filmed in single frames while
larger documents are filmed in double wide-width frames. No matter
what frame width is used, the filmed images are upright for easy
viewing.
Advanced
electronics technology provides completely automatic exposure
adjustment for sharp, clear images every time. Manual
adjustment of the exposure time is also possible for special filming
needs.
For faster, easier
identification and indexing, frame numbers and/or blip marks can be
selected and recorded on the film.
Three levels of
blip marks - Item, Batch and Block - are available. All are
encoded inside the camera head to ensure consistent readability as
well as more accurate document exposures.
In addition, the
operator can manually input up to three 4-digit numbers or a single
12-digit number to more precisely identify each frame with time,
date or other vital information. These numbers appear along
the top of the frame.
Connect a PC to
the optional RS-232C interface and the DR1600 becomes a data entry
camera for CAR (Computer Assisted Retrieval) systems, permitting
full control of all camera operations from the computer.
The gap between
frames can be eliminated, permitting more documents to be filmed per
roll and minimizing the flicker effect seen when viewing moving
film.
Minolta lenses
produce high-resolution images from a wide range of originals, from
single sheets of paper to books up to 20mm in thickness, at all
focal distances. A fluorescent lamp system provides
uniform illumination, ensuring consistent exposures, roll after roll
of film.
The DR1600 greatly
simplifies document filming by requiring only a single corner of a
document be positioned correctly.
