Atiz BookDrive Mark 2

Mark 2, a successor to the BookDrive Pro, our best selling scanner.

Mark 2 has improved upon BookDrive Pro in so important ways based on actual feedback of the pro users that make you want to upgrade.

DESCRIPTION

BookDrive is a de facto industry standard of how libraries around the world digitize their books today. A dual-camera “V” cradle imaging system captures images of books and print materials, without risk of damage to the items being scanned. This scanning solution pioneered by Atiz has become so successful that it is widely embraced even by competitors.

Simplicity of its design

there are fewer things that can go wrong. There are no motors, and fewer moving parts.

Cost

This product was considerably cheaper than the other units we were considering.

Modularity

If we want to upgrade to more powerful lenses or cameras in the future, we can just buy them and install them ourselves without having to purchase a whole new machine. Therefore the Atiz Mark II is more safe from obsolescence.

Size

The Atiz Mark II takes up less space than the other units we were considering.

Speed

The Mark II can capture 2 high-resolution images in a couple of seconds including the time it takes to turn the page. Overhead planetary scanners take many times longer, depending on the resolution.

SUPERIOR ERGONOMICS, COMFORT AND SAFETY

Ergonomics, operator comfort and safety is most important and it has received a major upgrade.

BookDrive Mark 2 Lite is easier on your back, arms, eyes and ears.

PERFECTED LIGHT DESIGN FOR GREATER IMAGE QUALITY

Better image quality backed up by stats

Even light distribution with no bright or dark spot visible anywhere in the frame.

THE “V” SYSTEM – BETTER, SCRATCH-RESISTANT V PLATEN

The V platen is made using a premium scratch-resistant material that is more transparent and durable than glass allowing for better scanned images. It is manufactured using a different production technique so that it allows you to scan deeper into the gutter.

No direct light facing toward users

The new custom light produces much better images, but more importantly, the light will not shine directly or bounce off the glass into the operator’s eyes.

Cool and silent operation

The new fan-less LED ensures the operation stay cool and silent the whole time creating a pleasant work environment. Suitable for library and office environment.

Lighting dims when turned off

Like a light in a luxury car cabin, it gently dims off when you turn it off so it’s less abrupt to your eyes.

THE “V” SYSTEM GETS A MAJON UPGRADE

Better, scratch-resistant V platen

The V platen is made using a premium scratch-resistant material that is more transparent and durable than glass allowing for better scanned images. It is manufactured using a different production technique so that it allows you to scan deeper into the gutter.

Flexible cradle for thick-spine books

The new V cradle is better and more flexible. The cradle is adjustable, the angle altered and opened apart. This makes for optimal page contact for all kinds of book bindings and spine thicknesses. The self-centering cradle slides sideways during scanning keeping the books centered.

V platen so light

New V platen mechanics allow for the operator better control of the platen to mitigate risk of operator injury or damage to items being digitized. It is fingertip light to lift or lower. The platen hovers in the air and stays exactly where you position it.
