SMA Scan Master 2

The A2 book scanner that handles the big boys!

The SCAN MASTER 2 is a special A2 book scanner. It is designed for applications that require a very high optical resolution and where highly thick books are to be digitized. With its 35cm motorized book cradle, the SCAN MASTER 2 is able to handle books that other A2 book scanners are unable to cope with. Operating the SMA SCAN MASTER 2 is easy and convenient. Simply place the book and hit the scan button. The rest of the process is fully automatic. All the operator has to do is to flip the page and release the scan.

All SMA scanners are equipped with a special LED light illuminator that does not produce any ultraviolet or infrared radiation. Harmless and uniform illumination is guaranteed. The illuminator of all SMA scanners is located inside the scan head and is simply moved across the original. As a result, all SMA book scanners can be operated independent of ambient light and there is no visible light to irritate the operator’s eyes

The SCAN MASTER 2 A2 book scanner comes with V3D Technology – a new scanning technology which allows users to scan many different types of originals. It offers the capability of digitizing structured surfaces such as wood, rubber, plastic, fabrics, carpet and many more types of materials. In addition, light reflecting items such as coins, seals, metal prints, silver or gold-coated originals can be captured at the highest quality. The V3D technology presents new opportunities as it can be applied to materials outside the normal archive and library world.

V3D stands for Visual 3-Dimensional. It is a newly designed scanning technology that produces results that look like 3D. The process is such that an area is captured with several different lighting scenarios on the fly. The software then combines the separate images into one image.  As a result, V3D images offer perfect reproductions of nearly any structured surface. In addition, it increases the depth of field significantly. This approach is unique and raises the outstanding image-quality of SMA scanners to another level. The V3D function can be disabled and the regular 2-Dimensional scanning can be performed.
