The DT Atom is a tabletop digitization platform, featuring AutoColumn, that can be extended and upgraded to accommodate nearly any digitization project. The user can unlock the standard hardtop and swap to a variety of accessories to better accommodate different material types.

Compatible with the DT Atom, the DT Book Cradle provides conservation-friendly, preservation-grade, fast and efficient digitization of A3 bound material. Its unique design incorporates a tilt-inward mount for the camera to provide ergonomic digitization without increasing the footprint of the system. The optional glass uses a lift-assist mechanism to improve the ergonomics of the user over long periods of use. The glass can be fully removed in less than a minute when the minimal operator-controlled contact with the glass is not suitable for a given material. To ensure the safety of the binding, the mechanism of the book platform freely slides forward and backward to guarantee the gutter is always properly aligned to the captured frame. This also ensures the glass, if used, cannot produce undue pressure on the binding.

Originally designed and built for the National Archives Records Administration, the DT Versa Reprographic Capture Cradle is the latest integration of book capture and reprographic technology.

Developed with AutoColumn for the iXG Camera System to achieve preservation-grade reproductions at the fastest rate of capture, while providing reliability, ease of use, and material safety, the DT Versa is the optimum digitization solution for the rapid capture of rare, bound and loose document collections.

The DT Versa features a built-in pneumatic 180° dual platen book cradle that adjusts to the thickness of bound collections. The system is designed to bring printed materials to optimal focus and accommodates books up to 63.5 x 89 cm with up to 10.2 cm bindings. The platforms gently push the books against the glass pate for image capture and can also leave documents partially open when the binding is too fragile and cannot be completely flattened.

The DT Versa features a modular design that incorporates today’s finest digital camera systems and can be upgraded as technologies or needs change.

Built on the success of the DT Reprographic System, the DT BC100 Dual Camera Book Cradle solution redefines the way library materials are digitized. The BC100 is the only true 48 bit system on the market that will meet the high demands of cultural institutions by providing the highest image quality, speed, and reliability needed to capture a wide variety of bound and loose materials – all while protecting the original documents.

Designed for mass digitization of books, the 100° bonded v-shaped anti-reflective glass platen and adjustable book cradle secures and holds the largest variety of bound materials with page sizes up to A2 per side.

The modular design of the DT BC100 allows the camera and capture device to be upgraded when necessary, ensuring that it will not become obsolete.
