CYRD

CybeRecord, Inc. is engaged in developing, manufacturing, and marketing automated microfilm scanners. Its ScanServer technology creates images that can be transmitted across the Internet or placed on a server and made accessible by intranet. It enables users to select the standard image format they wish to use for their converted microfilm images, which are stored on a computer hard drive. Among the standard image formats available are tagged image file format (TIF), joint photographic experts group (JPG), and bit map files. The stored images can be cataloged, viewed, and transmitted electronically using off-the-shelf software. The digital record is essentially an electronic picture of the original microfilm image. A converted image, if it consists of text, could, if a customer chose, be loaded into an optical character recognition (OCR) device or program. Its ScanServer does not produce a computer file that can be edited as text or other types of data.
