Productivity Meets Preservation: The BookTEK 5 V1A Scanner
For libraries, archives, and cultural institutions, the delicate balance between preserving fragile works and ensuring accessibility has always been a challenge. Traditional scanning often risks damaging bindings, oversized volumes, or rare manuscripts. Today, the demand is apparent: solutions that combine precision, speed, and care—without compromise.
The BookTEK 5 V1A from Image Access is a next-generation A1+ scanner that digitizes everything from manuscripts to newspapers with exceptional clarity. Supported by Dyanix’s expert consultation, installation, and services, institutions gain the confidence to deliver high-quality digitization projects at scale.
High-Performance Scanning for Demanding Projects
At the heart of the BookTEK 5 V1A is a CCD line sensor with 22,500 pixels (245-megapixel equivalent), paired with TrueScan technology and up to 600 x 600 DPI resolution. The result? Distortion-free images that meet the strictest archival standards, including FADGI and Metamorfoze.
- Fast throughput: A1+ scans in just 2 seconds at 300 DPI and 4 seconds at 600 DPI.
- Efficient workflows: Cycle times as low as 5 seconds, even for large projects.
- Precision scanning: Bi-directional operation with motorized glass plage(plate?) control.
This speed and accuracy reduce project costs, accelerate timelines, and ensure compliance, which are critical for large-scale heritage digitization.
Designed to Protect Fragile Originals
Preservation is central to the BookTEK 5 V1A’s design.
- Self-balancing book cradle30 kg, with a spine width of up to 20 cm.
