DT ELEMENT
More Than a Copy Stand
The DT Element is a complete digitization platform. The stand, camera, and column tightly integrate with our software for fast and easy preservation-grade digitization.
Standards Compliant
Our DT Element complies with FADGI 4-star, Metamorfoze Strict, ISO 19264 image quality, and JHOVE file format standards. The Library of Congress, The National Archives, and Getty along with these institutions use our systems.
Scan Anything
Nearly anything can be scanned with the DT Element. It’s equally at home scanning bound materials, manuscripts, flat artwork, maps, translucent materials such as film or glass plate negatives, as well as specimens. The camera can even be removed to capture installation artwork, in-situ art, architecture, and more.
Open Platform
While our camera and software offer simplicity, quality, and throughput, the Element accepts any camera. You can purchase an Element on one budget cycle and our camera on the next, or upgrade the camera anytime.
Solid, Precise, and Perfectly Aligned
The bench is made in the USA to 0.005” tolerances from aerospace grade aluminum. The DT AutoColumn precisely positions the camera within two-hundredths of an inch. And both the Phase One iXG and iXH focus movement is measured in microns for meticulous accuracy.
Help At Every Step
We treat our valued customers as partners – our highly trained staff are ready to meet your individual institution’s needs. Every system includes on-site training and unlimited support! Plus, our warranty packages are determined with your sales representative, uniquely reflect the items in your system, and never require a service contract. If you’re starting or revamping a digitization program, see our program planning guide and reach out; we’re glad to help!
