Built for the Future.
Developed to achieve preservation grade reproductions at the fastest rate of capture—while providing reliability, ease of use, and safety of the original materials—the DT RGC180 is the optimum digitization solution for the rapid capture of rare, bound and loose document collections.
The DT RGC180 features a built-in pneumatic 180° dual platen book cradle that adjusts to the thickness of bound collections. The system is designed to bring printed materials to optimal focus and accommodates books up to 25”x 35” with up to 4” bindings.
Modular.
The RGC180 is operated by foot pedals and can be fine-tuned to protect the widest range of materials. For increased safety, the glass top is hinge mounted to the back of the table and includes lift-assist gas pistons and is secured with hand locks.
The DT RGC180 features a modular design that incorporates today’s finest digital camera systems and can be upgraded as technologies or needs change.
Designed for Rapid Capture.
To increase versatility, a 30”x 40” copyboard is also included that can be placed over the glass so that oversized books, foldouts, maps, rare materials, paintings, film and glass negatives (utilizing the DT Film Scanning Kit), and more can be digitized. The DT RGC180 Capture Cradle is truly a proficient system that will protect your investment and enable you to expand the scope of your digitization program.
