APT BookScan 1600

The APT BookScan 1600™ is based on a disruptive digital imaging technology initially developed at Xerox PARC and protected by several patents which have already been issued and some pending.

Featuring SureTurn™ Advanced Page Turning Technology and the innovative SmartCradle™ Support, the APT BookScan 1600™ will revolutionize and streamline the way all bound documents are scanned, dramatically increasing the availability of these documents.

With increased volume comes the need for greater speed. The Kirtas APT BookScan 1600™ is Kirtas? intermediate level system designed to keep up with the demand for digitization.

Superior Image Quality

All of Kirtas? digitization systems use high-quality, digital cameras rather than traditional scanner technology to capture page images. The APT 1600™ is equipped with one 21.1 megapixel EOS-1Ds Mark III Canon digital camera. It photographs each right- and left-hand page sequentially using a mirror array through the camera?s Canon 24-70mm Zoom EF lens. Resolution is 330 pixels per inch, with the potential to interpolate to as high as 600 ppi with software.

The APT 1600™ also includes a high-speed productivity processor, page edge sensor, and enhanced page separator.

Applications

Kirtas' APT Technology breaks the document scanning bottleneck by accelerating the current business processes of:

  • Publishers
  • Libraries
  • Educational organizations
  • Government organizations
  • Corporations
  • Imaging Service Bureaus
  • Religious organizations

For the first time, these organizations can digitize bound collections at a mere fraction of the cost associated with conventional, labor-intensive scanning methods. As the only automated page-turning bound document scanner, the APT BookScan 1600™ is poised to emerge as the key enabling technology in book preservation, e-book publishing, print-on-demand, and online libraries.

With increased volume comes the need for greater speed. The Kirtas APT BookScan 1600™ is Kirtas? intermediate level system designed to keep up with the demand for steady digitization of bound document collections.
