DRS digitizer
 

 

Fully automatic microfiche scanner

The DRS will automatically feed the microfiche (up to 200 fiche or 100 jackets). The DRS is able to scan images from fiche automatically without operator intervention. It comes with top of the line software built in to the scanning process, which allows it to compensate for images that are of varying contrast. The DRS has a 2300 x 3500 pixel CCD Camera, resulting in the whole image being scanned versus a line scanner which scans across the image.

 

Key Features

Scanning of microfiche and microfilm jackets

  • High spatial resolution, increasable by stitching (assembly of images by using software solutions).
  • High reading rate and exposures of constant quality.
  • Tuned precision optics.
  • 12 bit dynamics range, even minor changes of contrast are detected.
  • Individual quality optimisation for every document.
  • Chip-on-board-technology =>light exposure without wear and tear.

Unique characteristics

  • Innovative feeder technology => large quantity capacity of microfiche.
  • Nearly contactless => reliable separating of microfiche.
  • Open software design => individual customisation.
  • X-Y positioning table =>-precise pixel positioning and stitching feature.
  • Application of dual camera systems.

The customer's advantages

  • Highest quality, wear-resistant, fast, user-specific
  • High capacity, economical, reliable
  • The ultimate solution
