Rüdiger Klepsch demonstrates the new Bookeye 3 at the Bookeye Partners Conference in Bonn, June 2005. Nikki Haynes of Digitise-It.com Ltd looks on.

There are some really clever new features in this scanner.

For a start, instead of a CCD that moves behind the lens, it is the other way round. The lens moves in front of the CCD. That has some serious advantages! Not only is the better, centre part of the lens used, there is no drop-off of quality near the edges of the large A1 scan.

Next, there is a constant prefocus device that follows just ahead of the path of the scan. That means that no matter how much the original is at different levels, it is always in perfect focus!

Look carefully, and you'll see a fine red line projected across the book. The operator here has his thumbs positioned on that red line holding the pages down. Why is it there? Because the scanner now knows where to automatically remove the thumbs from the final image! Actually it is even more clever than that, as it takes a sample from just above the thumbs, and then substitutes the thumb area with "paper". Fiendishly clever!
