EFFICIENT LIKE NO OTHER
With a top speed of 17.8 ips and size-flexibility, valuable time is saved
ADAPTABLE TO YOUR WORKFLOW
HD Ultra X can adjust to almost any workflow
HIGH-QUALITY SCANS
Market leading image quality, CCD technology and 48-bit RAW data capture
HD Ultra X is the fastest collection of scanners Contex has ever made. With a top speed of up to 17.8 ips, workflow tempo is significantly increased. Switch between three different speed levels directly on the scanner’s intuitive touch panel.
This series includes the world’s first 60-inch CCD scanner, but also comes in 36- and 42-inch widths. The size-flexibility, Contex’s Nextimage software and the unprecedented scan width provides the flexibility to be smart and create a more efficient workflow.
With the HD Ultra X series, Contex has tried to reduce the total cost of ownership. Using optimized LED lights, so replacing the lamps becomes unnecessary. Maintenance is significantly less than other large format scanners. Additionally, the glass is super-resistant to scratches and Contex has created a paper handling design that will prolong the life of the consumables.
This all adds up to the most efficient and flexible large format scanner series on the market.
High-quality lenses
Contex CCD scanners use premium Fujifilm lenses to bring high-resolution images in the best quality available on the market today.
Instant-ON feature
Save valuable time with the ability to start scanning without the warm-up time.
True size detection
It detects the width automatically. The HD Ultra X finds the paper width as it scans. No wasted time. No more backwards and forwards movement of document while feeding it into the scanner. Just load and scan.
OTAC
With Optimised Thickness Adjustment Control, adjusting the scanner to the originals just before scanning is easy. With one press of a lever, raise and lower the OTAC to suit required media thickness. It is very fast.
Speed adjustment
Three different speed levels on the touch panel makes it easy to adapt the scanner to the workflow and the original´s requirements.
USB 3.0 SuperSpeed xDTR3
Contex has 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.
Gigabit 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.
Gbit throttling buffer control
1GB buffer eliminates scanner pausing. Maintaining scan speeds to meet those deadlines
Static Free Touchless Glass System
Enjoy virtually scratch free glass plates thanks to the new design of the white background pressure plate in the HD Ultra X. The pressure point is offset of the scanning line helping the glass stay free from scratches. The Minimal-friction, floating transport design of glass plate with new quick-release magnetic scan glass system, makes replacement or cleaning of glass plate easier and faster than ever.
Contex Perfect Light
Contex Perfect Light in the HD Ultra X comes from engineers carefully selecting the very latest in light-emitting diode technology (LEDs) and combining this with specially developed diffusion filters.
FlexDoc
Combining automatic thickness adjustment control (ATAC), all wheel drive (AWD), automatic contour correction and a new paper pressure adjustment, Flex- Doc enables scanning anything from newspaper-thin documents to posters on foam boards, gator boards and other bulky documents up to 0.6” thick.
FlexFeed
With removable, no-rewind paper return guides, right-side loading, a funnel-shaped feeder, and a convenient new exit tray, FlexFeed takes the hassle out of scanning any document, even up to 60″ wide.
SnapSize
SnapSize makes it faster and easier to switch between different-sized documents by eliminating the need for manual software adjustments. Precision optical paper sensors register the document size and adjust the required settings automatically.
SmartShare
This allows all users in a work-group to operate the scanner from their own computer via Ethernet.
AccuColor
To get the best results, the scanner and software should work with full 48-bit data. Where other scanners ignore some of this data, the HD Ultra is the world’s wide format scanner with true 48-bit color capture.
CCD
Contex uses All-Digital cameras with advanced point-of-origin capture and on-board 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 color-matched fluorescent lamps ensure the market’s highest standards for color correctness.
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.
