Description

The VZ-8plus² is a second edition of WolfVision's popular VZ-8 Visualizer series. The name of the visualizer remains the same with only the superscripted number 2 added. Since the VZ-8 series has become a mainstay in a large number of universities, schools and enterprises worldwide, it would be a mistake to change the name completely.

This unit has major upgrades with a newer and more modern design as well as many new features.

The VZ-8plus² delivers state-of-the-art picture quality with XGA resolution, 30 frames per second, USB 2.0, "Image Turn" mode, and an infrared remote as well as many other very useful features:

Image Turn" Mode for Higher Resolution:
WolfVision's unique "Image Turn" mode lets the user place a document on the working surface horizontally and zoom in on it completely. In doing so, approximately 90% of the camera's effective pixels are used to pick up the document. WolfVision's state-of-the-art electronics turn the image to a 90 degree angle and output it in a vertical format with 40% higher resolution. The margins left and right are blacked out.
In this mode, the resolution of a complete vertical (portrait) document is much better. Even 8-point characters are now readable. Very long vertical pages (like US legal format) can be picked up completely.

100% Reflection free Working Surface / Slide-through:
The upper part the working surface where the light is normally reflected into the camera, now has a slightly curved surface, so that reflections are not possible on any part of the working surface. The new, flat design also allows moving objects around on the whole working surface without any obstacles. Even oversized documents can be moved to the back without being blocked by the device.

High Speed Autofocus:
High speed autofocus through special WolfVision software, analyzes 30 frames per second and recognizes every object quickly and precisely.

Portable:
The Visualizer alone weighs only 5 kg (11 lbs). With the carrying case and power pack, it still weighs only 7.8 kg (17 lbs)!
