Scanning
Superiority
On the CHAMELEON Tx 36, graytones are captured at 14 bits
for maximum precision, passing the best 8 bits of graytone
data to the computer. For color scanning, perfect color fidelity
is ensured by capturing 42 bits of color data and passing
the best 24 bits to the computer. The CHAMELEON Tx 36 uses
All-Digital cameras with advanced point-of-origin capture
and on-board digital conversion ensuring minimum noise and
an extended dynamic range.
One
Touch Scanning
The CHAMELEON Tx 36’s operator’s panel is designed with convenient
programmable action buttons for initiating common tasks directly
from the scanner. Each button immediately activates a scan
and opens the image in an appropriate application and format.
Care
for your original
The Contex All-Wheel-Drive with contour adjustment and precision
rollers ensures a perfectly straight scanning path without
using unnecessary force so you avoid both image distortion
and damage to your customer’s fragile originals. The roller’s
soft-friction contact surface adds the final touch to a system
that cares for your original and for your scan results.
Image
Enhancement Power
The CHAMELEON Tx 36’s on-board real time 2D-filters for sharpening,
softening and blur provide superior results with a wide variety
of input images. The CHAMELEON Tx 36 supports 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.
Copying
Made Easy
Connect the CHAMELEON Tx 36 scanner with a large-format printer
and you get the perfect large format color and monochrome
digital copier. With the scanner’s high precision of details,
graytones and colors, users can enlarge their creations to
full display sizes without losing quality.
Precision
Color
With a Contex scanner, your investment is fully protected
and you need not worry about degradation. The unique Precision
Color system lets you calibrate in the field at any time ensuring
stabile and predictable color output. The CHAMELEON Tx 36
scanner is calibrated to both sRGB and NTSC color spaces using
an ANSI IT8 calibration target.
Automatic
Scanner Maintenance
The CHAMELEON Tx 36 scanner incorporates the Contex 3C Auto-Maintenance
system that keeps your cameras perfectly aligned, adjusted
and calibrated for optimal image quality. The process is automatic
- just insert the maintenance sheet and click the wizard’s
start button. The 3C Auto-Maintenance system aligns and stitches
your cameras to a fraction of a pixel giving the highest wide
format image precision available.
Advanced
Power Management
The CHAMELEON Tx 36 scanner has Advanced Power Management
that rapidly brings the scanner to its optimal working temperature,
after which the temperature is monitored and held at a minimum
level ensuring low CCD noise. The Advanced Power Management
system also lets users leave the scanner in low-power mode
and program it to power up automatically before they arrive
at work so the scanner is ready to scan right away.
Flexible
Connectivity
The CHAMELEON Tx 36 scanner lets you fit the connection to
your immediate needs by offering two interface options - the
highly efficient and convenient Plug and Play (PnP) FireWire
connection and the industry standard SCSI interface.
