The SupraScan™ Quartz A1 is the best large format scanner to digitize up to A1+ format with superior image quality and productivity.
The new SupraScan™ generation, called “Quartz”, has been optimized and comes today with a new camera, a new book cradle, a new lighting system, a new software and exclusive features. This is why, the SupraScan™ Quartz A1 is today the best scanner for A1 documents.
The i2S SupraScan Quartz A1 benefits at glance:
The SupraScan™ Quartz A1 has been developed to achieve the highest level of benefits. Those benefits are focused on:
IMAGE QUALITY
As part of i2S Group 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 the reason why the i2S SupraScan™ Quartz A1 reaches a high 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
The i2S SupraScan™ Quartz A1 has been developed to reach a high 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, the i2S SupraScan™ Quartz A1 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 the i2S SupraScan™ Quartz A1 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, lighting table, the i2S SupraScan™ Quartz A1 allow to digitize various types 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 i2S SupraScan™ Quartz A1’s are particularly robust and reliable. 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 i2S SupraScan™ Quartz A1 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.
The new camera Quartz
- Images are compliant with FADGI and Metamorfoze image quality guidelines.
- Focus is motorized and automatic.
- No image distortion: distance and angle between the camera and the document is fixed and the camera is always perpendicular to the document.
The new lighting system
- Very long life LED lightings. No UV and IR emission.
- Relief enhancement system.
- Exclusive glares free system.
- Lighting below the operator’s eyes level.
- Lights only switched on during the scan time.
RELIEF ENHANCEMENT
The i2S SupraScan™ Quartz A1 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.
GLARES CONTROL SYSTEM
The i2S SupraScan™ Quartz A1 offers an innovative feature that prevents glares even on highly reflective documents (glossy paper, plastic blister, oil paintings, Mylar, etc.) This is an exclusive hardware solution (lighting system and optical head) and not software processing.
The new book cradle 25
- The book cradle 25 covers a wide range of formats up to 1100 x 630 mm / 43.3 x 24.8” (open book).
- The maximum thickness is 25 cm for a maximum of 25 kg (9.8” / 55.1 lbs). For specific needs, the SupraScan™ Quartz A1 can be purchased with the Book Cradle 50 which allows a maximum thickness of 50 cm / 19.6” and a maximum weight of 40 kg / 88.1 lbs. This book cradle 50 has a different design from book cradle 25.
- The book cradle 25 is similar to a Roberval system with electrical commands (up and down).
- The book cradle 25 is motorized with electronic commands (no air compressor) and has an A1 glass plate with automated pressure and controls on the book. The scan can be done without contact on the glass plate.
- The glass plate is easily removable: 1 person and 10 s only.
- The constant level of the document simplifies the daily use of the scanner by eliminating the need to set up the camera for each document.
- Security sensors detect intrusions between the glass plate and the book cradle and release pressure or stop the glass plate move.
The new software
- A new 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.
