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 lamp and 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.
