OS HQ /
Zeutschel Overhead Scanners
for large formats

Scanning of A1 and A0 formats: This is what the new OS HQ overhead scanner from Zeutschel is designed for.

The new Zeutschel flagship scanner lives up to its name - HQ stands for High Quality - a physical resolution twice as high as its "smaller brother" OS Q. At least 10 LP/mm at up to 138 cm original width. An image quality that exceeds the current image standards for the A1 and A0 large formats.

Large books, magazines, maps and much more: The Zeutschel OS HQ delivers an image quality which exceeds the highest quality levels of the digitization standards ISO 19264, Metamorfoze and FADGI - even at A0+ format.

For the first time, the OS HQ uses a gigapixel line scan camera system developed by Zeutschel that has the largest CMOS sensor in the overhead scanner market.

This achieves an unprecedented image quality right up to the edge of the original, even with formats larger than A0. The digital images created with OS HQ are sharp, low-noise, high-contrast and reproduce even the finest details.

A further quality component is the lighting system with the latest LED technology. This ensures uniform brightness at daylight level in the entire scan area. The lighting system enables reflection-free and shadow-free reproduction even of difficult originals. This prevents reflections on shiny surfaces or shadows in the book gutter.

The camera sensor, lens and lighting are also optimally matched to each other, so that results are produced with the highest colour fidelity.

The Zeutschel overhead scanners for A1 and A0 formats have always been considered a reference for productive scanning, which is confirmed by renowned national libraries and archives worldwide.

Now Zeutschel starts a new productivity era in digitizing large documents with the OS HQ.

In addition to a very high scanning speed, the OS HQ convinces with efficient original processing and fast data transfer.

The OS HQ overhead scanner scores here with true parallel scanning - in both directions. The cameralink interface offers fastest data transfer from the camera to the PC.

The Zeutschel copyboard systems, which have proven themselves in numerous digitization projects, can also be used with the new OS HQ. Functions such as the self-opening glass plate and the automatic lowering after capture support the efficiency of the scanning process.

The OS HQ book scanner is designed as a modular and flexible scanning system. As the requirements and tasks grow, the system can be expanded and updated at any time.

This applies, for example, to the task of digitizing parts of the original in large resolution. An optional optical zoom is available for this purpose.

Furthermore, the set-up of OS HQ can be adapted to the respective task. For example, the exposure time and aperture can be variably adjusted and can be defined individually in project folders of the OmniScan scan software.

And well-known copyboard systems from the OMNIA series offer a high level of operating convenience and maximum protection of the original.

The Zeutschel OS HQ overhead scanner offers numerous functions for simple, ergonomic and fatigue-free working.

During the scanning process, the line illumination guides the light over the original in a focused manner. This not only protects the documents, but also enables glare-free operation. This ensures compliance with important health regulations and work guidelines.

The copyboard systems offer great legroom and are characterized by safe and simple operation.

The OS HQ is controlled by the current version 12 of the OmniScan software, now also with 48 bit data output.
