ANA Tech's new APOGEE processor powers the Eagle SLI 3840/Plus scanner.


LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 4, 1996--ANA Tech, an Intergraph Division, takes the wraps off its new desktop large format scanner, the Eagle SLI (Scalable Link Interface) A multi-GPU interface from NVIDIA for connecting two or four NVIDIA display adapters together for faster graphics rendering on one monitor or two monitors.  3840/Plus.

The company's latest model integrates straight line imaging (SLI) technology with its brand new APOGEE processor. According to according to

 Gerald Kasten, ANA Tech's director of marketing, "The combination of advanced technologies in the new product delivers a large format image scanner that absolutely leapfrogs past anything similar currently on the market."

While much of the existing image capture technology used in other scanners requires either a slowdown of overall scanning speed, or a reduction of resolution quality when handling difficult, low contrast or dirty originals, the Eagle SLI 3840/Plus produces high resolution data in its final form with no reduction of its throughput rate Throughput rate is an obsolete term[1] in the terminology of automated chemical analysis. It may mean either:
  • Input rate
  • Output rate

. The APOGEE processor, featuring ANA Tech's real-time, large aperture thresholding technology, lets users simultaneously scan and threshold documents in the selectable single-pass, dynamic (automatic) mode. In its dynamic mode the Eagle SLI 3840/Plus can fully process, clean up and save to disk even poor quality drawings and blueprints up to 38 by 44 inches (96.5 by 111.8 cm) in just 15 seconds.

With a true resolution of 400 dots per inch (dpi), the Eagle SLI 3840/Plus offers users a variable resolution range of 1 to 800 dpi and 256 levels of grayscale In computing, a grayscale or greyscale digital image is an image in which the value of each pixel is a single sample. Displayed images of this sort are typically composed of shades of gray, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest, though in , a spectrum of choices designed to address the needs of a major segment of the large format black and white and/or halftone In printing, the simulation of a continuous-tone image (shaded drawing, photograph) with dots. All printing processes, except for Cycolor, print dots. In photographically generated halftones, a camera shoots the image through a halftone screen, creating smaller dots for lighter areas and  image scanning Document Scanning or Image Scanning is the action or process of converting text and graphic paper documents, photographic film, photographic paper or other files to digital images.  market. The new model incorporates internal construction and operating features found exclusively in ANA Tech products. These include the company's patented three-point optics mounting system and its single-pinch document transport roller design. Sleek housing configuration and rugged construction techniques contribute to making the under 100 pound Eagle SLI 3840/Plus readily moveable to any location in a workplace where document scanning may be needed.

The scanner comes with ANA Tech's new SCANsmith software. Developed by the company specifically to set up and operate the Eagle SLI 3840/Plus, the easy-to-use product provides users with numerous image capture and manipulation choices. These include several thresholding options, a wide range of scanning speeds and resolution levels, and dozens of useful tools for working with black and white grayscale and color files. SCANsmith software is compatible with Microsoft Windows See Windows.

"More and more companies are finding that a large document scanning capability makes good economic sense," said Kasten. "We're hopeful the SLI 3840/Plus' dynamic thresholding, speed versatility and affordability, combined with ANA Tech's reputation for building top quality products will make the 'Plus' very attractive to a lot of those organizations.
