Uniform, cross-platform interface
With its 'C' and script-based API choices, the Pixel!SCAN
API Toolkit allows you to easily implement a consistent
scanning interface for end users on UNIX, Windows
or multi-platform systems. As an added bonus, this
toolkit lets you execute your own TCL scanning scripts,
resulting in a hassle-free migration path for users
of Mentalix's Pixel!ENGINE
scripting interface.
Support for a wide variety of scanner models
Mentalix's Pixel!SCAN API Toolkit works with
a broad array of scanning
devices -- giving you the freedom to choose the
scanner that best meets your application requirements.
From desktop scanners to document imaging devices
to high-resolution scanners, the Pixel!SCAN
API Toolkit provides a solution for you today and
a growth path to take advantage of future improvements
in hardware technology.
Easy to use, superior performance
The Pixel!SCAN API Toolkit includes a complete
'C' source code example, plus an interactive demonstration
program to help you get your scanning solution up
and running quickly -- reducing your overall investment
of time and money. Optimized for quality, compact
size and high-performance, the Pixel!SCAN API
Toolkit integrates smoothly with third-party applications
and existing turnkey systems.
Advanced scanning capabilities, including calibration
The Pixel!SCAN API Toolkit contains features
above and beyond those of standard scanning packages,
giving you complete control of virtually all scan
device features. In addition to the "basics," such
as sizing/cropping controls and color adjustment settings,
the software also features advanced capabilities,
such as the automated color calibration function that
allows you to fine-tune your system and scanner settings
with corrections generated from popular calibration
targets such as the Kodak Q-60(TM) Color Input Target
and the GretagMacbeth® ColorChecker®. Other advanced
features include a scan-to-TIFF file option and several
convolution filters (e.g., unsharp mask) that can
be applied to images as they are scanned. The software
also supports images with higher bit depths (up to
16-bit grayscale, 48-bit RGB and 64-bit CMYK).

compatibility
To keep pace with the latest platform versions and
scanner models, Mentalix plans to release regular
