The kigamo ExtendedResolution feature gives you additional resolution through a combination of additional data capture and a little bit of data extension.

The 8000XP models capture data by using a 8000 pixels wide CCD, and capturing the length of an image line by line.

With ExtendedResolution we capture 50% more lines than in the normal mode.

The width of the ccd cannot be changed of course so we stretch the real 16-bit pixel information to match the length of the image.

By doing the extending the data in16-bit we are working with the true data captured by the ccd and not with adjusted 8-bit pixel information as you would in an image manipulation software.

ask your dealer for the proof:
