PANORAMA 50"
WIDE FORMAT MONOCHROME SCANNERS The Contex PANORAMA wide-format monochrome scanner family incorporates the latest in imaging technology and doubles your value with both scanning and copying in high-quality black-and-white. The super wide imaging area handles large oversized engineering drawings, architectural sketches, maps, blueprints, sepias, etc. This professional scanner meets all your wide-format scanning needs in high-quality grayscale and crisp, clear black-and-white. The PANAORAMA sets new standards for wide-format scanning speeds, scanning a full E-size (A0) drawing at 400 dpi turbo in only 7 seconds.
An image often depends on its many graytones to bring out details and give it depth. On the PANORAMA, graytones are captured at 12 bits for maximum precision, passing the best 8 bits of graytone data to the computer. As a unique feature for monochrome scanners, the PANORAMA supports easy calibration for reduction of noise in the dynamic range and enables you to get clean scans every time.
Image Enhancement Power
The PANORAMA’s on-board real time 2D-filters for sharpening, softening and blur provide superior results with a wide variety of input images. The PANORAMA opens a whole new world in monochrome scanning technology with Dual 2D-Adaptive enhancement, in which processing is performed simultaneously and in real-time on individual aspects of the original. Enhancement includes ADL+ error diffusion halftoning, 2D-Adaptive foreground thresholding, 2D-Adaptive background suppression and 2D-Auto edge enhancement. Equipped with such image enhancement power, you can at any time produce clean, crisp scans from poor quality drawings, sepias, blueprints and photos. All Digital Image Processing is embedded in the PANORAMA scanner’s hardware, enabling you to perform powerful image enhancement without scanning time overhead at speeds incomparable to standard software image enhancement processing.
Monochrome Copying Made Easy
Connect the PANORAMA with a large-format printer and you get the perfect large-format monochrome digital copier. Getting the right settings for your copy job is easy. Special copy modes, each fitted to specific original types are supported by the scanner’s digital image processing. Dual 2D-Adaptive enhancement and ADL+ error diffusion halftoning produce reliable monochrome copies of drawings and photos in which even subtle differences between shades of gray are maintained in the printed output. The PANORAMA is the perfect input device for copying of graphics, posters and complex maps in only a few minutes with fully adjustable graytone parameters.
The PANORAMA has two ultrafast SCSI Interfaces, so it can be attached simultaneously to two computers. Your system can then be used for both copying and scanning-to-file without changing the configuration.
Wide and Thick Originals
The PANORAMA can scan up to 0.6-inch (15mm.) thick originals such as posters mounted on foamboards, gatorboards etc. Takes very wide originals - up to 51.5" (1310 mm.) wide with a scan width of 50", opening new possibilities for your business.
Use the optional Copy Kit to mount your PC and touchscreen directly on the scanner. Attach your large-format printer and create a convenient copy configuration that is always ready to use.
The two PANORAMA 50" scanner models differ in performance from entry level to high-end and can be easily upgraded with new features for future requirements through the Smart-Card Upgrade Kit.
