Phase One Expands Cultural Heritage Digitization Support
First Phase One Copy Stand Supporting Large Format Digitization Solution
COPENHAGEN -- Phase One has introduced the RPS 2300xXL AutoColumn copy stand for large format digitization projects. Designed with a large, super-stable metal base measuring 1300x1000mm, this copy stand supports objects larger than A0. This newly configured large format copy stand is designed to meet the growing needs of museum, archives and digitization services seeking to preserve and conserve manuscripts or artifacts.
When used with the Phase One iXH 150-megapixel camera, it is easier and more convenient than ever to achieve 300ppi reproduction while meeting the strictest FADGI, Metamorfoze and ISO 19264 digitization guidelines. It offers Phase One's motorized AutoColumn technology, allowing all steps to be automated through Capture One Cultural Heritage software, resulting in a more efficient and effective digitization workflow with maximum output.

The RPS 2300xXL copy stand base comes with a set of heavy-duty, lockable castor wheels and an RPS-175 arm extension, providing accurate and stable camera positioning and support. For large, flat and thin objects such as maps, newspapers and drawings, a metal cover board is included that can be mounted onto the base, allowing for careful and secure positioning with magnets. A utility shelf under the baseboard provides a convenient solution for placing the controller box and other tools and accessories.
