Unionovo Book Scanners
Unionovo Book Scanners provide professional, affordable A3 and A2 heritage scanning solutions using Canon or Sony DSLR camera technology. They meet the high standards required for preservation and conservation scanning.
The range includes A3 and A2 models, with specialist V-shape scanners for fragile and delicate volumes, as well as versatile counterbalanced cradles that adjust to suit different materials and scanning requirements.
You can configure all Unionovo Book Scanners with either single or dual Canon or Sony DSLR cameras and lenses. With a choice of 24MP or 54MP sensors, they deliver exceptional image quality, accuracy and clarity.
Each scanner includes complete image capture and editing software. The systems are simple to configure and support fast, effective scanning, helping users capture whole books in minutes.
Features such as auto page detection, alignment and cropping help speed up processing. Auto capture also takes an image each time the platen moves up and down, which helps reduce manual input and improve workflow efficiency.
