New book scanners from Kirtas
Kirtas Technologies has announced three new book scanners. Quoting the press release:
- The Kirtas APT BookScan 2400RA™ is a new, high-volume machine that provides remote access allowing users to capture raw images in one location and process them at another. It is equipped with a high-performance blade server, which enables the remote capability as well as providing increased storage capacity and a faster processing speed.
- The company also introduced the Kirtas APT BookScan 1600™, a mid-size system that captures 1,600 pages per hour. The APT 1600 includes a high-speed server for enhanced processing speed, as well as the Enhanced Page Separator and the Page Edge Sensor for improved productivity.
- The Kirtas APT BookScan 1212™ builds off of the success of the APT 1200. Targeted to cost-sensitive markets with collections of smaller-size books, the APT 1212 provides 300 DPI and is ideal for organizations looking to digitize research materials and other information to include on the Internet.
In discussing the APT2400RA, Kirtas also disclosed “several additional features designed to improve reliability and productivity”:
- An extension kit for digitizing smaller books
- An Enhanced Page Separator (EPS)
- A Page Edge Sensor (PES)
- A new barcode scanner for reading ISBNs or library assigned barcodes
- New ergonomic features
