Technology
Embedded Controller
Atom Quad-Core processor running on a 7-inch multi-touch screen (800×480 pixels).
Contex CFR (Colour Fringe Removal)
Since CIS systems illuminate sequentially in red, green, and blue (RGB), color fringing can naturally occur. With its advanced filtering technology, CFR removes this issue. Contex holds a patent for its Color Fringe Removal (CFR) technology.
Multiple exposures per 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 uses custom CIS modules equipped with dual-sided LED lighting and a Dual Diffusion system
SmartShare
Through Ethernet, SmartShare lets all users in a workgroup operate the scanner directly from their own computer.
