The Digital ReeL Microfilm Scanning Solution

Digital ReeL is a complete microfilm conversion solution. BMI will convert your microfilm to virtual, digital microfilm rolls at one of our secure facilities (optional, on-site option available). The Digital ReeL microfilm conversion service creates a digital replica of your original microfilm or microfiche. The entire microfilm roll or fiche is digitally converted. The Digital ReeL microfilm conversion solution includes a software application that emulates microfilm retrieval from a reader printer. Users retrieve virtual microfilm rolls from a PC workstation, avoiding the hassles that come with physical microfilm and legacy reader printers.

What Makes Digital ReeL Unique?

• Affordable Price: Digital ReeL is priced 50% less than standard microfilm conversion methods (ideal for infrequently accessed microfilm archives).
• Microfilm Conversion Accuracy: Digital ReeL converts microfilm, microfiche and aperture cards with near 100% accuracy because the entire microfilm roll or microfiche is converted - no images or details are lost, digitally preserving your microfilm, microfiche and aperture cards exactly as they appeared in their physical state.
• Image Quality: Adjustable grayscale is included, enabling users to optimize the quality of tough-to-read images. Watch a quick video to see this feature in action.

Indexing and Search

Digital ReeL combines full-text searching capabilities with the utilization of your existing indexing methodology to enable users to quickly find information. Digital ReeL supports your existing micrographic indexing methodology. Book and page, case number, roll and frame, and more are example indexing methodologies supported by Digital ReeL. Even multiple indexing methodologies can be accommodated.

On Premise and Cloud Options Available

• On Premise: After BMI completes the microfilm conversion service at our facility or at your site, your IT department stores and manages the digitally converted microfilm records and the Digital ReeL application. Users access records from a computer workstation(s) through the Digital ReeL interface.
• Digital ReeL Cloud Option: BMI completes not only the microfilm conversion service, but also stores your digitally converted records at our secure data center. Users simply log into the Internet and access their images from the Digital ReeL web interface. Combining Digital ReeL with BMI's Document Hosting Service is ideal for organizations that do not want to incur an up-front capital expenditure or want to avoid the hassle of purchasing servers, storage and the IT resources to manage the ongoing system.

Digital ReeL's microfilm conversion service is completed at one of BMI Imaging's two HIPAA-compliant secure facilities (optional on-site conversion is available).
