Built for demanding heritage collections

Standard document scanners are not designed for every collection. Bound volumes, rare manuscripts, maps, newspapers, photographs, and artwork may require specialist handling, stable lighting, and consistent capture settings to protect the original and create useful digital files.

I2S Digibook combines overhead scanning systems with software for capture, processing, quality control, project supervision, and online access. The result is a digitization environment that supports preservation, repeatability, and production efficiency.

What i2s Digibook supports

The i2s Digibook range is designed for the controlled capture of cultural heritage and archival materials, including:

• Bound books, manuscripts, and delicate volumes
• Oversized documents, maps, plans, and newspapers
• Fragile, rare, and high-value originals
• Photographs, artwork, and textured materials
• Reading-room, project-based, and production digitization environments

Configurations can be selected around material type, format, required image quality, automation level, and the way files move into preservation, repository, or access workflows.

A controlled capture workflow

i2s systems support a structured process that balances careful handling with consistent output:

1. Materials are positioned on a book cradle, V-shaped support, or a large-format capture surface suited to their condition and opening angle.
2. High-resolution overhead cameras capture the original under controlled lighting, with a live image preview for the operator.
3. LIMB Capture supports calibration, document detection, cropping, image adjustment, and in-press quality control.
4. Files can be exported in standard image and document formats for metadata enrichment, digital preservation, publication, or access workflows.

With defined capture setting and quality checks, teams can establish repeatable procedures across operators and projects.

Why choose i2s Digibook

i2s Digibook combines careful material handling, high-quality capture and connected workflow tools to support demanding heritage digitization projects from start to final access.

Designed to handle originals with care

Book cradles, V-shaped capture options, adjustable glass, and purpose-designed lighting help teams work with bound, delicate, and irregular originals.

Image quality for preservation-focused work

Selected configurations can support image-quality requirements and assessments methods relevant to cultural heritage digitization, including FADGI, Metamorfoze, ISO 19264-1, where applicable. Requirements should be confirmed during solution design and validated within the complete workflow.

Productivity with operator control

Automation, live preview, and in-process quality checks help teams digitize efficiently while maintaining repeatable capture standards.

Connected workflow software

The LIMB suite brings together capture, post-processing, metadata enrichment, online publication, and project supervision to support a more connected digitization workflow.

i2s Digibook scanner portfolio

From compact A3 scanners to V-shaped book systems and large-format capture solutions, the i2s Digibook portfolio can be configured around your materials, volumes, quality requirements, and working environment.

CopiBook Open System

Configurable overhead book scanners for A2 and A1 formats. Suitable for libraries, archives, and digitization environments that need to balance image quality, throughput and material support.

CopiBook V-Shape

V-shaped scanning systems for fragile or tightly bound books. A 120° V-shaped glass support and adjustable glass pressure are designed to reduce stress on bindings during capture.

eScan Open System

Compact A3 book-scanning solutions for reading rooms, decentralized services, office digitization, and smaller-format project work.

SupraScan Quartz large-format systems

Large-format systems for maps, plans, newspapers, artwork, and other oversized originals. Configuration options support detailed imaging and the handling needs of demanding materials.

LIMB software suite

LIMB software supports the workflow around the scanner, from acquisition through processing, supervision, and access.
