FAQs:

What type of image sensor does the RPS 10S use, and how does it affect image quality?

The scanner uses a four-linear CCD sensor, which captures high-resolution data with excellent colour accuracy. This sensor type is well-regarded for archival-quality scans, particularly when working with high-contrast or colour-sensitive film.

Is the scanner compatible with modern operating systems, including Apple Silicon Macs?

Yes, the RPS 10S is fully compatible with Windows 7 through 11 and macOS 11 or later. It supports Intel as well as Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3) CPUs. A minimum of 4 GB RAM is required, though 8 GB or more is recommended for stable performance.

What types of film can it scan, and how are they loaded?

It supports 35mm film in strips or mounted slides. Film strips of up to 40 consecutive frames can be scanned automatically thanks to the built-in motorised transport system. Framed slides (up to 3.2 mm thick) are loaded individually via a dedicated slot.

How long does a scan typically take, and does resolution impact speed?

At 5000 dpi, a colour scan takes approximately 1 minute per slide. Scanning at the maximum 10,000 dpi increases processing time to around 3 minutes. Higher resolutions offer more detail but will result in longer scan times and larger file sizes.

What kind of connection does it use, and is USB 2.0 fast enough?

The scanner uses a USB 2.0 interface, which, while slower than USB 3.0 or USB-C, is adequate for the scan file sizes typically produced. It ensures broad compatibility across most computers without requiring additional hardware.
