DT Nexus

Simple, Repeatable Workflows for Production Heritage Digitization

Cultural heritage digitization programs are under pressure to do more with less:  larger backlogs, tighter budgets, and teams that increasingly rely on non-specialist operators. The tools have always been powerful. The workflows have not always been simple.

DT Nexus is workflow automation software built specifically for heritage digitization. It integrates directly with Capture One to automate the most time-consuming, repetitive steps—cropping, color profiling, image-quality validation, lighting control, and more. The result is faster throughput, consistent results, and workflows that any member of your team can execute correctly.

DT Nexus is now available as a fully licensed product, with a 90-day free trial so you can evaluate it in your real work.

What’s in DT Nexus 1.0

Sequencer

Workflow Automation Sequencer

Build and run multi-step capture and processing sequences with a single click. Recto-verso naming, raking-light dual capture, and other complex workflows configured once, repeatable every time.

Watch the video below to see how it works. 

AI Crop

AI Crop & Straighten

Detect, crop, straighten and page split using our AI model trained specifically on heritage materials. At least 10x faster than manual cropping and more accurate than general-purpose AI or traditional computer vision.

Watch the video below to see how it works.

Color Neg

Color Negative Inversion

Replace incorrect white-light capture of color negatives with spectrally tuned illumination from DT’s Stellar RGBW light, enabling accurate and consistent automated inversion.

Watch the video below to see how it works.

Control

Stellar Light Control

Control your DT Stellar lighting from the capture station. Adjust in 1/100th increments and include lighting changes in automated sequences.

Watch the video below to see how it works.

Profile

Color Profile Creation

Generate ICC profiles from imaged targets in a few clicks. No technical expertise, no switching tools. Requires 1/3 as many steps as basICColor.

Validate

Image Quality Validation

Measure images against FADGI and ISO 19264 standards instantly, inside Capture One—no exporting, no separate QA tool.

Fusion

DT Fusion (Add-On)

Combine blue and white captures for improved color accuracy, especially on materials where standard white-light capture struggles. 

DT Nexus Lite vs DT Nexus

If you don’t upgrade after your 90-day free trial, you can still use DT Nexus for color validation and Stellar light control, as well as preview and test the other features.

Preview only means the tool runs and shows you the result, but you can't apply or save it — for example, Nexus Lite will show you what an AI-cropped image would look like, but you can't export it cropped.

Screenshots

A free Lite mode is also available with limited functionality, including Stellar Light Control, Image Quality Validation, and AI Crop detection (no cropping applied).

Minimum System Requirements

DT Nexus requires MacOS OS 15 Sequoia or higher on Apple Silicon (M1 or later), with Capture One 23 installed.

For DT Nexus color profiling/calibration/validation, we suggest that you have at least two of the following targets, preferably with custom spectral measurements:

  • DT NGT V2 Target
  • ISA FADGI 19264 Target
  • ColorChecker SG
