Setting a new standard in book digitization once again.
Meet BookDrive Mark 2 Lite. The latest, best designed and engineered model yet. Years of research and close collaboration with technical specialists has resulted in a scanner superior to others in almost every way. Create images that meet among the highest, most stringent digitization and preservation standards.
The Mark 2 Lite is part of the new Mark 2 series. You have 2 great choices: Mark 2 for double A2 and Mark 2 Lite for double A3 scanning in lighter and space-saving form factor. Both have the same great technology, ergonomics and safety features that come from close collaboration with the pro users.
BookDrive is a de facto industry standard of how libraries around the world digitize their books today. A dual-camera “V” cradle imaging system captures images of books and print materials, without risk of damage to the items being scanned. This scanning solution pioneered by Atiz has become so successful that it is widely embraced even by competitors.
There are fewer things that can go wrong. There are no motors, and fewer moving parts.
This product was considerably cheaper than the other units we were considering.
If we want to upgrade to more powerful lenses or cameras in the future, we can just buy them and install them ourselves without having to purchase a whole new machine. Therefore the Atiz Mark II is more safe from obsolescence.
The Mark II can capture 2 high-resolution images in a couple of seconds including the time it takes to turn the page. Overhead planetary scanners take many times longer, depending on the resolution.
The Atiz Mark II takes up less space than the other units we were considering.
Ergonomics, operator comfort and safety is most important and it has received a major upgrade. BookDrive Mark 2 Lite is easier on your back, arms, eyes and ears.
Better image quality backed up by stats
Even light distribution with no bright or dark spot visible anywhere in the frame.
Better, scratch-resistant V platen
The V platen is made using a premium scratch-resistant material that is more transparent and durable than glass allowing for better scanned images. It is manufactured using a different production technique so that it allows you to scan deeper into the gutter.
