Contex HD Apeiron/42 42" Large Format Scanner

CCD

Contex uses All-Digital cameras with advanced point-of-origin capture and onboard digital conversion ensuring minimum noise and an extended dynamic range. The unique four-linear CCD technology, with a special panchromatic line, ensures that no colors are lost when scanning monochrome. Quality colormatched LED lighting ensures the market’s highest standards for color correctness.

FUJIFILM LENSES – A CONTEX CCD TECHNOLOGY

Like photography, scanned image quality depends heavily on lens quality. Using lenses that are specifically designed for the scanning resolution will ensure against various problems, from uneven sharpness to chromatic errors and color fringing (black lines showing up in color). All Contex CCD scanners use high quality custom Fujifilm lenses to give you the best possible output.

X-Rite ICC PROFILES 

Using X-Rite generated profiles ensures the highest possible color accuracy for demanding customers. X-Rite is the global leader in color science and technology.

TABLE CONVEYANCE SYSTEM

The table of HD Apeiron/42 is moved by a precision timing belt transmission. Together with precise and extremely wear resistant support rollers on each side of the table, this forms our stable triple-point direction control system – a Contex technology.

HD Apeiron/42 LAMO & LIGHT TECHNOLOGIES 

Dual LED strips mounted in elliptical reflectors result in correct and uniform colors – and no distance fading. The museum-correct light with no UV/IR radiation uniformly illuminates in all three dimensions, while the scan module shields off ambient light. We use LEDs with TRI-R technology. The combination of cutting-edge LED technology and phosphor (patented technology) recreates the natural light spectrum.

Adobe RGB, DEVICE RGB & sRGB

Contex CCD scanners have several different options for color space. In addition to the common sRGB our large format scanners also offers color spaces with a wider gamut as preferred by color specialists. Adobe RGB and Device RGB has a larger color gamut than sRGB. This allows differences in very bright and saturated colors to be maintained in your digital file.

GIGIBIT ETHERNET xDTR2.5

Optimized for up to 100 MB per second. Up to 60% faster transfer rate than with xDTR2 thanks to new improved electronics.

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed xDTR3

CONTEX have adapted their xDTR technology to work with the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed protocol increasing its performance dramatically. It has the fastest data transfer rate of any scanner on the market.

Gbit THROTTLING BUFFER CONTROL

1GB buffer eliminates scanner pausing. Maintain your scan speeds and meet those deadlines

ALE

Accuracy Lens Enhancement (ALE) technology that electronically maintains 0.1% +- pixel precision across any two points of the scan line thus exceeding even the most rigid requirements in the industry today. Contex delivers a very high grade of precision stability in the scanned image.

AccuColor

To get the best results, your scanner and software should work with full 48-bit data. Where other scanners ignore some of this data, newer Contex scanners work with true 48-bit color capture.
