What is BookDrive Pro?

BookDrive Pro solves all problems found in book scanners. Problems of conventional scanners are page curvature, damage to book spine and low productivity.
BookDrive uses a different approach called a V-shaped solution. The combination of V-shaped book cradle and V-shaped glass holds the book open at a non-stressful 120-degree angle for scanning by hi-speed, hi-resolution digital SLR cameras.

This unique design guarantees sharp, curvature-free images in every scan. Our V-shaped solution has helped hundreds of libraries worldwide scan millions of books.

EVOLUTION OF SCANNERS

We’ve come a long way from flatbed and planetary scanners. Thanks to advances in digital cameras, today the v-shaped book scanners from Atiz are-empowering libraries around the world to scan millions of books. come a long way from flatbed and planetary scanners.

Each shot takes less than a second to photograph.

This allows you to capture up to 800 pages an hour

In-software camera settings

You can easily change camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture and ISO values within the software.

Timed Lapse Capture

The timed lapse capture is available so that the cameras can be triggered to shoot automatically at every pre-defined intervalsof 1-10 seconds. Users simply flick through the pages
