The MIC user interface will remember the last adjustment settings when the system is closed and 
re-opened, but you may have several formats of microfilm that requires different setting for 
optimum performance, note these settings and keep them close to system for reference. 

Video Resolution 

     

Video resolution is optimum at 2592x1944 (5MP). 

Adjusting to the next setting down 

2048x1536 (3MP) will provide a faster refresh rate ( less latent movement of image) and 
almost the same scan / print result 

so try that setting if you prefer a faster refresh rate when 

searching for images.   

After image is located, the Video Resolution can be maximized with the slider in an instant. All 
digital microform viewer/scanners have a measure of image latency which gets a little getting 
used to. After several uses you will become accustomed to the operation of the unit.
