| The DeVere 504 DS has been specifically designed
to provide a convenient means for printing high quality colour and
B&W digital images
on conventional photographic materials.
A computer running custom software creates a "virtual negative" which can be
projected, sized, exposed and processed in the traditional manner. The
image is formed on a high resolution LCD panel which
replaces the traditional negative carrier. An LED lightsource provides the required
illumination for exposure. The chassis
itself is based on the renown DeVere 504. Depending on the quality of the
digital image, the 504 DS is capable of producing prints up to 20"x24".
Images can be entered by multiple means -
film scanner, Flash card, CD, etc. Software packages designed for
school, sports, wedding photography, etc., are included, and the
software can be further customized to meet individual needs. Since
the computer station can be networked, the operator need not be in the
same room with the enlarger. With the addition of a roll easel,
multiple printing becomes available for a run of prints or printing
complete orders.
Despite it's relatively short time in the
marketplace, there have already been a number of refinements and
improvements to the 504DS system. In fall 2004, a new compact LED
lightsource replaced the original Digi-Lite lamphouse shown in the
picture above. And the original 7.7 megapixel LCD panel has been
superceded by a 17.2 megapixel panel, further enhancing image quality.
The DeVere 504 DS is supplied as a
complete system comprising chassis, LED lightsource, 17.2 mega pixel LCD panel,
Rodagon enlarging lens, Pentium 4 computer, custom software, and all required cables and
connectors. Bench, extended bench, and wall mount configurations
are available. |
