The A0 book scanner SCAN MASTER 0 4838 is an alternative to the well-known SCAN MASTER 0 3650. With a scanning orientation similar to the SCAN MASTER 1 and SCAN MASTER 2, which scan from back to front and back again, it achieves higher productivity than the SCAN MASTER 0 3650. In addition, the SCAN MASTER 0 4838 can be equipped with a robotic page turning function.

The user is always at the forefront of our considerations. SMA scanners are designed to offer maximum convenience for the user. Operating an SMA book scanner is child's play. Simply place the book in position and start the scan – that's it! This can be done via touch screen, foot switch, or mouse click. The process of moving the book cradles into position, applying controlled pressure, starting the scan, and lowering the book cradles is completely automatic.

Thanks to the unique design of our scanners, they can be used completely independently of ambient light. Furthermore, the operator is not exposed to any light source, which ensures fatigue-free and eye-friendly working conditions. Our so-called daylight systems are equipped with state-of-the-art IR and UV-free LED lighting elements.

The A0 book scanner SCAN MASTER 0 4838 is equipped with V3D – a new scanning technology that allows many different originals to be digitized in different ways. It is possible to capture structured, metallic, and shiny originals such as wood, plastics, textiles, stone, leather, and coins faithfully and in the highest quality. The new V3D technology offers completely new possibilities, even outside the traditional environment of archives and libraries. V3D stands for VISUAL 3D. It is a newly developed technology that uses conventional 2D scanning to achieve results that look three-dimensional. The effect is based on different lighting scenarios that are combined with each other. The same area is captured with different lighting from different angles. This happens fully automatically during the scanning process. The different results are combined by the software in real time. The result is an authentic reproduction of structured surfaces. Furthermore, the depth of field is significantly increased. This new technology takes the already market-leading image quality of SMA scanners to a whole new level. Of course, the V3D function can be switched off, and normal 2D scans can still be generated.
