IPT Gray Capture Board

Image Processing Technologies has moved into the field of gray scale imaging with the introduction of the IPT/GS™Gray Scale Capture Board and device driver for Windows NT. The IPT/SAS for Windows™ document imaging software has been updated to provide a full image scanning, enhancement, storage and retrieval system incorporating both gray scale and binary image processing tools. There is a distinct advantage to using gray scale over black-and-white if the highest image quality is required. Text which is not visible on a standard scanner's output can be captured and enhanced using the IPT/GS Gray Scale Capture Board.

IPT/GS Gray Scale Capture Board

The IPT/GS is a PCI-based scanner interface card for scanning systems that adds gray scale capture to a standard scanner interface. Using the IPT/GS, the user may scan in gray scale, black-and-white, or both simultaneously. An interface to the IPT AutoOptimizer™ is included, allowing high speed, high quality image enhancement to be performed simultaneously with the image capture. The IPT/GS driver, in addition to image capture functions, provides scanner control either via an onboard serial port or through a separate connection.

See how the abilities of gray scale scanning bring out details of a document that can easily be lost in a bitonal image. This capability is why gray scale is the best choice when the scanned image must be true to the original document.
