Features

  • Scan area size and resolution can vary according to user needs thanks to the integrated zoom optics and to the variable camera height and position; this makes possible to acquire very large originals (even larger than the A1 format) or increase the optical resolution over 800 PPI on smaller formats
  • Original METIS V-table solution with automatic shape recognition, deskew and curvature correction features
  • Unrivaled image quality that is far beyond any other similar solution
  • Extremely rapid acquisition time
  • Integrated METIS LED lighting solution with advanced software control
  • Comprehensive EDS acquisition software with many powerful and useful features
  • Extremely simple to use thanks to the EDS software user friendly “icon based” interface which also supports touch screens.

Technical Spcifications

  • Supported DSLR Digital Cameras (CMOS color):

  • Acquisition color depth: 14bit per channel (3 x 14bit), integrated sensors for real-time reading of exposure, color temperature and automatic focus
  • Variable camera height and position in order to optimize scan area and optical resolution; adjustable optical resolution (over 800 PPI is possible) through:
    • integrated Zoom optics with motorized focus
    • variable camera height
  • Acquisition area up to 90 x 60 cm / 35.43 x 23.62 in (A1 = 84 x 59,4 cm / 33.07 x 23.39 in). Acquisition area can be further extended (up to A0 format for drawings or maps with an appropriate lens and additional lighting).
