“One of the biggest challenges of book digitisation is material handling. We are looking at a solution that captures two pages at the same time. With its high-resolution cameras it allows our digitisation output to almost double, while providing maximum protection of the material. We need more automation with less monotony.”

Dr Jozef Skrabski, Digitisation Director, Dpt. Wawel – Royal Castle, Kraków

Why Phase One?

A significant part of the cultural heritage community works on digitising rare and delicately bound materials. Digitising books often requires special care, since their condition, age and the fragility of the binding determine how the material can be handled during the process. These factors sometimes also limit the speed of capture.

Phase One’s book digitisation solutions and copy stands help make the capture process faster and of excellent quality, while looking after the safety of the material.
