The first CD barcode scanner with memory
Every liftscan®
features an integrated hard drive. This means that any CD displayed in the area can be automatically stored on the local memory after its initial call-up from the server. By accessing the liftscan®
hard drive, approximately 12.000 high-quality sample tracks can be played immediately. Less frequently chosen titles are automatically removed as needed. |

How the laser works
The scanner projects a flashing red laser onto a platform. The customer holds the CD case under the laser, and liftscan®
reads the barcode. An audible signal alerts the user that the music is ready. |

Wireless instead of cable clutter
In this age of Blue Tooth and LAN technology, unwieldy connection cables are obsolete. LIFT uses radio between liftscan®
and the server. This eliminates the need for expensive retrofitting and cable management. If the store layout is modified, liftscan®
can be easily relocated without interrupting the music. |

Small server, big impact
Any computer that meets basic system requirements can be used as a server. Once the system is running, server access may diminish by as much as 90 % as the liftscan®
hard drive acquires more information. The small server provides liftscan®
with new releases, and can be used as a safety net. |

The music plays on and on
Our main priority in developing liftscan®
was to ensure that the system would always function. We developed liftscan®
so that if the server fails, each liftscan®
will continue to work independently. If one liftscan®
fails, the next station will access the server.The system is always ready to operate. Any problems can be handled during the next routine service visit . |

The fast, new LIFT system for creating music files
liftscan®
plays barcode data and 30-45 seconds samples of CD music. Tracks are compressed and then stored as MP3 files. It takes an employee only about 1 minute to load each CD into the server. This guarantees that "CD not available" never appears on the liftscan®
display. Music files can also be purchased from any authorized content provider.
