Q1: What is DIGITAL ICEł Technology suite?
A1: DIGITAL ICEł Technology suite is a combination of DIGITAL ICE, DIGITAL ROC and DIGITAL GEM Technologies.
Q2: Can Black & White film be used with DIGITAL ICEł Technology?
A2: DIGITAL ICEł Technology consists of three applications: DIGITAL ICE, DIGITAL ROC and DIGITAL GEM Technologies. If the DIGITAL ICE function is enabled, then Black & White chromogenic films (C41 process) can be used (for example Kodak Advantix 400, Illford XP2 Super, Konica Monochrome VX400, Kodak Select B&W+400 and Kodak T400 CN). When scanning these films for DIGITAL ICEł Technology implementation, the film must be scanned as a color image. After DIGITAL ICEł processing, the color image may be converted to B&W using an image editor. Traditional silver-halide Black & White film cannot be used with DIGITAL ICE enabled. If the DIGITAL ICE function is disabled while the DIGITAL ROC and DIGITAL GEM functions remain enabled, then all traditional silver-halide and chromogenic Black & White film can be used. When scanning the Black & White film for DIGITAL ROC and DIGITAL GEM implementation, the film must be scanned as a color image. After DIGITAL ROC and DIGITAL GEM processing, the color image may be converted to Black & White using an image editor.
Q3: Which scanners are available with the DIGITAL ICEł Technology suite?
A3: Please check our Film Scanner OEM Products page.
Q4: Does DIGITAL ICEł Technology support Kodachrome film?
A4: The individual DIGITAL ICEł Technology components support Kodachrome film in different degrees. DIGITAL ROC and DIGITAL GEM Technologies fully support Kodachrome film. In general, DIGITAL ICE Technology works with Kodachrome film. However KADC?s experience indicates that some Kodachrome images suffer a loss of image detail as a result of DIGITAL ICE Technology image processing. Any loss of detail will depend upon the particular Kodachrome film, exposure level, and image content. Kodachrome slide film uses a unique dye that responds differently from other slide films. Due to the nature of the dye and the Kodachrome film development process, DIGITAL ICE Technology can misinterpret certain image detail as a defect. An example of a general group of images that can be affected is underwater images due to the lack of content in the red channel. Similar images in which the green and blue channels overshadow the red data may present a problem.
Q5: When will additional scanners be available with the DIGITAL ICEł Technology suite?
A5:

We continue to work with existing and new scanner manufacturing partners to increase the availability of DIGITAL ICEł Technology. Periodically check our Web site for availability updates.
