What determines a successful large format scanning process?

Technology

Contex CFR (Color Fringe Removal)

Color Fringe Removal (CFR) is a Contex Patent. Color Fringing is a natural consequence of CIS technology sequentially flashing R-G-B. Thanks to Contex innovative thinking CFR will remove this problem with advanced filter technology.

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed xDTR3

We have adapted our 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

Delivering 3 times the bandwidth of USB2, our unique Gigabit Ethernet implementation is lightning fast and accelerates workflows even further via network sharing, where scans can be controlled from any computer.

Contex Live Alignment

Contex Live Alignment is a new technology designed to improve image alignment across sensors ensuring precise and sharp alignment all the time, no matter the speed.

Multiple exposures per scan line

Contex scanners have the option to digitize each scan line multiple times which will reduce image noise even further. Scanning with minimum 4 exposures per scan line ensures FADGI compliance.

Contex CleanScan CIS

Contex CleanScan technology is based on custom CIS modules with Dual sided LED light and Dual Diffusion.

Contex Sigma

Signal Intensity Matching (SIGMA) is a Contex Patent. Sensor heating during a scan can cause inhomogeneous images. Thanks to Contex innovative thinkin Contex IQ Quattro scanners will minimize sensor differences LIVE during a scan.

SmartShare

This allows all users in a workgroup to operate the scanner from their own computer via Ethernet.
