the best 8 bits to the computer for high grayshade precision. Both CHAMELEON
Sx 25" scanner models use an All-Digital camera with on-board digital
conversion ensuring minimum noise and an extended dynamic range. These
scanners support the latest in monochrome scanning technology with Dual
2D-Adaptive enhancement that works simultaneously on foreground, background,
edges and other individual aspects of the original so you produce clean,
crisp scans even from poor quality drawings.
Vivid Colors

The high-end CHAMELEON Sx 25" PLUS models pack all the monochrome capabilities
of the CHAMELEON Sx 25" BASIC but can in addition create images in vivid
photo-realistic colors. Color is captured at 36 bits for maximum color
precision, passing the best 24 bits of color data to the computer. Connect
the CHAMELEON Sx 25" PLUS scanner to a 25" large-format color printer
and you get the perfect digital color copier. The scanner's high precision
of details and colors lets you enlarge your creations to full display
sizes without losing quality. Quality color matched fluorescent lamps
ensure the market's highest standards for color correctness.

contour adjustment ensure a straight scan path without applying unnecessary
force so you avoid distortion and damage to your originals.

can be user-calibrated to output color in accordance with international
color standards (NTSC, sRGB color spaces). The unique Precision Color

predictable color output.
Automatic Scanner
Maintenance

and take optimal scanner performance for granted. The scanner incorporates
the 3C Auto-Maintenance system that keeps your cameras perfectly aligned,
adjusted and calibrated for optimal image quality. Once the scanner has
been fine-tuned, it performs a number of basic tasks on its own, removing
those tedious chores required with other scanner systems. Using patented
Contex technology, camera stitching and black-white-points are constantly
monitored and corrected while your scanner is running.
One Touch Scanning
The scanner's operator's panel is designed with convenient programmable
action buttons for initiating frequent tasks directly from the scanner.
Each button immediately activates a scan and opens the image in an
appropriate application and format. The scanner comes with buttons
for scanning, copying and e-mailing loaded originals.

Management
Running the right internal temperature is of utmost importance with high
quality scanning. The scanner's advanced Power Management rapidly brings
the scanner to its optimal working temperature after which the temperature
is monitored for lowest CCD noise. The system also lets you program the
scanner to power-up automatically in the early morning hours so that
it stands ready to scan when you arrive at the office.
