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.
