i2S SupraScan Quartz A0 is the best A0 scanner to digitize up to A0+ format with superior image quality and productivity.
SupraScan™ generation, called “Quartz”, has been optimized and comes today with the best solution with all in one: image quality, productivity, ergonomics, versatility of uses, reliability and document preservation.
The SupraScan Quartz A0 benefits at glance:
The SupraScan™ Quartz A0 scanner has been developed to achieve the highest level of benefits. Those benefits are focused on:
IMAGE QUALITY
As part of i2S company internationally well-known in industrial vision, i2s DigiBook has a high level of knowledge in image technologies mastering perfectly sensor, optics, electronics, lighting and image processing technologies. This is why, SupraScan™ Quartz A0 scanner reach the highest level of image quality in terms of resolution efficiency, color rendering, noise and is compliant with the international FADGI and Metamorfoze Preservation Imaging Guidelines.
PRODUCTIVITY
SupraScan™ Quartz A0 scanner has been developed to reach the highest level of image quality but with no compromise on speed and productivity. With high quality camera components, powerful server, optimized&scan sequence and saving process, SupraScan™ Quartz A0 scanner offers a very good level of productivity at that level of image quality.
ERGONOMICS
All aspects have been studied to maximize operators’ productivity and comfort. This why the command panel location, the scan process, the lighting configuration, the automatic functions and the easy to use software interface offer the best conditions making SupraScan™ Quartz A0 scanner an easy and powerful scanner to use day after day.
VERSATILITY OF USES
With many options like book cradle (25 or 50 cm), V-shape cradle, assisted glass plate, lighting table, vacuum table, SupraScan™ Quartz A0 scanner allows to digitize various type of documents from various quality and sizes: books, maps, registers, paintings, negatives, etc.
RELIABILITY
With a chain of design, conception and manufacture driven by high quality guidelines, all SupraScan™ Quartz A0 HD scanner are particularly robust and reliable. This is why, since 2005 more than 500 SupraScan™ are operating successfully for nearly 380 customers worldwide as libraries, archives, universities, town halls as well as service providers. Some of them are working in two shifts of 8 hours without any trouble. The i2S group quality management is certified by the international standard NF EN ISO 9001.
DOCUMENT PRESERVATION
The conception of the SupraScan™ Quartz A0 HD scanner has taken into account the use of very fragile documents. This is why the scanning plate access, the glass pressure, the book cradle, the light technology are optimized to respect and minimize the contact with the documents.
Camera Quartz HD
-
- The CCD camera offers a 600 x 600 dpi optical resolution on A0 format, up to 800 x 800 dpi on A1 and 1000 x 1000 dpi on A2.
- Resolution efficiency is up to 9 lp / mm at 600 x 600 dpi
- Images are compliant with FADGI and Metamorfoze image quality guidelines.
- Focus is motorized and automatic.
- Scan time is less than 22,5s for an A0 scan at 400 x 400 dpi optical.
- No image distortion: distance and angle between the camera and the document is fixed and the camera is always perpendicular to the document.
The lighting system
-
- Relief enhancement system.
- Lighting below the operator’s eyes level.
RELIEF ENHANCEMENT
SupraScan™ Quartz A0 has the ability to digitize using only one lateral light (right or left). This exclusive feature allows you to enhance the relief of documents or objects and give a better value to your images.
Software
-
- An easy to use GUI (Graphical User Interface).
- Multiple saving frames with customized outputs.
- Thumbnails flow to check/delete/add/insert images.
- Production environment: login, metadata tagging, METS outputs…
- Operates on Windows 7, 64 bits platforms.
Smart Scanner
-
- Automatic calibration mode (assisted and manual modes also available).
- Batches of image processing and compression.
- Automatic and real-time image quality control.
- Easy integration into workflow solutions.
- A remote maintenance function.
