I think it's remarkable that the RPS 7200 can not only process small film strips, but also whole film rolls up to a length of 40 pictures - a great plus from my side for this feature! In this point it leaves a lot of the competing models behind it, which can take either only film strips up to a length of 6 pictures, or require awfully expensive special accessories in order to be able to process film rolls. While framed 35mm slides must be individually scanned piece by piece scanning of film strips is possible in batch mode, meaning the scanner can process whole filmstrip automatically by moving the strip forward picture by picture and scanning each picture individually. For 35mm filmstrips (likewise positives or negatives) the scanner has an automatic film strip feed: the film strip needs to be inserted laterally into a small opening slot and the device will pull in the strip automatically. Framed 35mm slides (positives or negatives) have to be inserted into the slot at the front of the scanner and taken out after scanning. This material can be present either in the form of framed slides or in the form of film strips.
The Reflecta RPS 7200 Professional is a film scanner, which can only scan 35mm film material. Equipment, accessories and technical facts of the film scanner Since 2007 there's no longer a Firewire port, leaving just the USB connector.
Last but not least the SCSI port was replaced with a Firewire connection, so the RPS 7200 can be attached to the computer using the usual interfaces USB and Firewire. Our resolution test further down on this page will show, what resolution of the nominal 7200 dpi is effectively remaining.Īnother change to the predecessor model is the ICE dust and scratch correction, as well as two further correction procedures: GEM film grain smoothing and ROC color restoration. No 35mm slide or negative has such a fine resolution on the film layer meaning the scanner scans with a far higher resolution, than physical information is present on the film.
With this resolution, scanned image files with more than 70 million pixels are possible that's of course a sensational value. Internally the Reflecta RPS 7200 Professional has changed in comparison to its predecessor model in one substantial point: The nominal resolution was doubled from 3600 dpi to 7200 dpi. The Reflecta RPS 7200 was replaced by its successor Reflecta RPS 10M at the end of 2014.
