iGuana and Qidenus Technologies are pleased to introduce the further enhanced Qidenus Mastered Book Scanner. Possibly the fastest production book scanner on the market as compared to book scanners using line sensors and thanks to its automated glass plate, Qidenus Mastered Book Scanner has been further re-engineered and re-conceptualized to ensure top scan quality and top performance even in the most demanding high-volume book scanning environments. The most versatile model in the Qidenus book scanner portfolio, Qidenus Mastered is highly reliable, highly efficient and affordable. Now powered by completely re-engineered QiCapture book scanning software developed specifically for Qidenus book scanners or, alternatively, by iGuana’s full-blown, all-in-one Capture Software for Cultural Heritage & Archives, Qidenus Mastered is ready for any challenge.
