The IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Color Scanners include a thirty-day
timed out version of JETimage NET which performs image capture, color
mapping, and transfer directly to a standard inkjet plotter. The
IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Scanners support Area Diffusion Logic
(ADL) which allows documents containing mixed photographic and line-
art (including text) areas to be captured with greater detail. These new
scanners incorporate the 3C Auto-Maintenance system that keeps the
cameras perfectly aligned, adjusted, and calibrated for optimal image
quality. The 3C Auto-Maintenance system aligns and stitches the cam-
eras to a fraction of a pixel giving the highest wide format image preci-
sion available.

The IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Color Scanners use Accuracy
Lens Enhancement Technology (ALE) that electronically maintains
0.1% +/- 1 pixel precision across any two points of the scan line thus
exceeding even the most rigid requirements. With these scanners
there is a very grade of precision stability in the scanned image.

The IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Color Scanners have variable
resolution settings from 50 to 1200 dpi for the Basic Model and 50
to 9600 dpi for the Plus Model, selectable in one dpi increments to
match user requirements. The Plus model scanner can scan a typ-
ical E-Size color original at 3.0" per second at 400 dpi turbo. The
IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Color Scanners require
WIDEimage NET, the operating software for color scanning. The
IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Color Scanners can extract color
and patterns of color into separate layers which can then be con-
verted to DXF and DGN vector files with WiseImage.

ScanOS, intelligent title block content recognition software with built-
in, breakthrough OCR technology, automatically extracts title block
information from scanned drawings to an archive database.
ScanOS, an optional software package from IDEAL, provides a solu-
tion to the bottleneck problem of indexing hundreds and thousands
of drawings during and after the scanning process. Edit drawings in
raster with the same ease as editing a CAD file using WiseImage,
an optional intelligent raster editing software package from IDEAL.
WiseImage is a powerful drawing editor that performs raster to vec-
tor conversion and OCR.
