Atiz BookDrive Book Scanners Overview
Founded in 2005, Atiz is a privately held company headquartered in Los Angeles, Calif. In support of the global effort to create a universal library of all human knowledge, Atiz is focused on providing digital book scanner solutions to capture books and other documents, preserving them for generations to come. After intense research and development, Atiz successfully developed its first revolutionary product, the initial iteration of BookDrive.
Innovative approach to Book Scanners
Atiz’s innovative approach to book scanners utilizes high performance digital SLR (DSLR) cameras as capture devices, making BookDrive Pro the best value proposition in the industry, as it will never become obsolete. When new, improved camera models become available, users need only to replace their cameras — not the entire scanning system as is the case with other offerings. Further setting it apart from competing offerings, BookDrive Pro has the ability to scan oversized books — up to A2, newspaper size — and heavy, cumbersome items such as deed registries.
In addition to book spine damage and low productivity, conventional or overhead scanners also produce curved page images and rely on software to correct resultant curvature problems. This approach has proven to produce poor, often unreliable results. Atiz has taken a different approach, and BookDrive Pro eliminates the need for page curvature correction, making it faster and less expensive than other offerings. The combination of a v-shaped book cradle and transparent platen which sets the book in an angled position for scanning by high-speed, high resolution digital SLR cameras is a unique design that guarantees sharp, flat-looking pages in every scan. BookDrive is easy-to-use, low maintenance and uses little power.
