Compared to Base

How Advanced Differs from Base

MCI-Advanced is built on the same platform as MCI-Base — the same transport path and tabletop. The difference is in the set of included-by-default options: reel markup and navigation come included on Advanced at no extra cost, while digital viewing, scanning, certification and microfiche handling are available as options on both models. See the full comparison table on the MovieCraft Inspector page.

Need a Simpler Configuration?

Different archive tasks call for different configurations. MCI-Base is the optimal choice where only visual inspection and repair are needed, without digital scanning.
