Areas of use
The Book Cradle is useful for corporate archives and libraries when scanning books, magazines and other bound originals. It is used on the book scanner or document camera and allows scanning without loss of quality, quickly and conveniently.

Advantages

• The book cradle protects the book binding and book pages during scanning, because the books do not need to be fully opened. Even valuable and antiquarian books are not damaged.

• The pages do not need to be pulled apart. This is important when a lot of pages need to be scanned in a short time.

• The selected angle ensures that the books lie optimally and the position of the page to be scanned is not changed. Unlike without a book cradle, the pages are not curled.


• Open books are better captured by the scanner because the light from the scanner lamps is evenly distributed over the book pages. Since the light does not fall on the page at a 90° angle, there are fewer mirror effects on glossy surfaces.

• The black surface is suitable as a contrast template during digitization. The book scanner software can thus deliver optimum results when trimming The scanned pages.


• The book cradle provides perfect book stand
for originals with The scanning area up to A3 - thus practically all commercially available overhead scanners are upgraded.

• The book cradle is made of high-quality black acrylic and matches The monitors and document camera perfectly. It can be easily cleaned with a soft cloth.


• Designed by and for practitioners in Germany.
