The ScanSnap SV600
ScanSnap introduce a new perspective on scanning with their new addition to the ScanSnap range, the ScanSnap SV600.
Three revolutionally technilogical advancements are hidden in the head of the scanner: A deep depth of field lens allows autofocus on a wide area, the High Directivity LED Lamp allows you to maintain the same brightness without being affected by the surrounding light and the CCD linear image sensor to scan by line to produce steady images.
Whereas a standard camera style overhead lens scanner would be out of focus towards the edges, the ScanSnap SV600 is able to produce a steady and clear image of the whole document.
All these technological advancements that form the VI Technology lead to the production of steady, even, flat and clear image reproductions of your documents that can be used and viewed anywhere including Tablets and Smartphones, distortion free for easy viewing pleasure.
ScanSnap Organizer
The ScanSnap Organizer is an essential tool for productivity. The ScanSnap organizer can help you quickly become paperless and more productive to help you get on with what's important. Use the organizer to quickly create to-do lists, reference documents.
Scan your documents and organize them efficiently and never lose any important information again. Your journey to becoming paperless starts today.
ScanSnap Manager
Intuitive capture software, from Canon, that makes it quick and simple to achieve premium quality results from one of the industry's most trusted and recogniseable company.
Features include a simple, one-touch operation for routine tasks such as scan-to-email or scan-to-desktop. From this, you can then convert your paper document into multiple file formats (including PDF, PDF-A, TIFF, JPEG, BMP, PPTX and PNG) and can scan into a third party sharing platform, such as Sharepoint or Evernote.
SV600 Resolution Explained
The SV600 is an overhead “contactless” scanner that uses a camera and optics rather than a linear CCD moving across the page.
So unlike traditional scanners, it does not really have a single, fixed dpi resolution across the entire image area.
Maximum optical resolution of 285 dpi horizontally × 283 dpi vertically (at the centre of the scan area). However, at the edges of the scan area, the resolution drops to about 218 dpi × 152 dpi. So at the centre resolution is 285 × 283 dpi and at the far edges 218 × 152 dpi.
This is simply because the further away from the camera and lens centre you go, the more stretched (and less dense) the pixel coverage becomes.
“1200 dpi” is likely the interpolated resolution or the resolution of the output file after software processing (which can upscale and smooth the image). It does not reflect the true optical resolution of the camera sensor and lens.
- Optical resolution at centre: 285 × 283 dpi
- Optical resolution at edges: as low as 218 × 152 dpi
- “1200 dpi” software-interpolated and not real optical resolution
The stated numbers (285 - 218, etc.) describe the natural decrease in sharpness/resolution from the centre to the edges.
