One of the biggest challenges for book digitization is the material handling. Having a solution that captures two pages at once, using high resolution cameras, allows us to almost double our digitization output, while ensuring maximum material protection. More automation with less repetition that is what we need.

Why Phase One?

A large part of the Cultural Heritage community works on the digitization of rare and delicate bound materials. Digitization of books often requires special attention to the binding, which can be fragile, and will determine how the material can be treated in the process. This can sometimes be the limiting factor when looking for fast capture.

Phase One book digitization solutions, copy stands, facilitate an accelerated and high quality capture process while remaining attentive to material safety.
