More About This Technology
A Charged Coupled Device (CCD) 2D scanner works just like your digital camera. The scanner itself has a lens that will reduce the scale of your image, which allows it to fully fit within the imaging sensor. Unlike your digital camera at home, a Contex scanner that uses CCD has an incredibly high-quality imaging sensor.
This allows the 2D scanner to capture high-quality, full-scale, color images of each drawing you scan, with even wider color space as compared to other 2D scanning technology. For large-format 2D scanning, the onboard camera might stitch together multiple images to create your final product. Through this technology, you’ll get image quality that is orders of magnitude better than CIS 2D scanning, with 64,000 shades of grey as compared to 256 shades offered by CIS scanners.
With a CCD scanner, environmental noise is much less impactful to the final quality and look of your scanned images. With a CCD 2D scanner, the operation is the same: you would feed in your large-format engineering drawings, choose what file format you’d like the output to be, and hit the “go” button. The scanner will move your drawing using rollers, and then capture a series of images with its sensors. On the backend, the 2D scanner will stitch together all of the images into a single, seamless image and send it in your desired file format.
