Flexibility: Variable digitizing Volumes by interchangeable Lenses

Who but Konica Minolta gives you the
flexibility to capture the hood ornament, the
whole hood, or the whole car? The VIVID
910 can digitize variable volumes (between
110 x 80 x 40 mm and 1200 x 900 x750
mm) while still maintaining precise
repeatability. Large part - small part, just
pick the right lens for the size of your scan.
The three lenses (telephoto, medium, wide
angle) are standard equipment and are as
easy to change as the lens on your SLR
camera. (TELE: f=25mm, MIDDLE
f=14mm, WIDE f=8)

Portable & Compact

Who but Konica Minolta understands
portability? VIVID 910 travels light -- it is
compact (213mm (8-3/8 in.) x 413mm
(16-1/4 in.) x 271mm (10-11/16 in.))
weighs only 11kg (24 lbs.) and is a stand-
alone instrument. You don't even need a
host computer to use Vivid. Multiple
scans can be saved to the compact flash
memory or viewed immediately on the
rear-panel's color LCD viewfinder.

Autofocus

Who but Konica Minolta, the leader in optical
technology, brings autofocus from the world of
photography to our precision measurement devices?
There is no need to move the VIVID back and forth,
or to manually adjust to guess at the optimal focus,
its automatic.

Rich 3-D Color

Who but Konica Minolta gives you color data is
second to none? Vivid's color images are
equivalent to a 3 CCD digital camera with full 24-
bit color depth. 640 x 480 x 24 bits. Konica
Minolta's expertise shows through with
MeasureMax, the ability to capture a wider range
of dark to shinny surface finishes that blind other
digitizers.

Easy to Use

Who but Konica Minolta gives you camera-like
simplicity? Unlike some digitizers, there is no
lengthy set-up, warm-up and calibration process
before your can measure. No moving the
scanner back and forth until just the right
distance is reached: its automatic. No need to
manually adjust the scanner for different ambient
light conditions. Konica Minolta has eliminated
these quirks found in other scanners. Turn it on,
aim and frame using the LCD viewfinder, and shoot.

But what about scanning an object from all
sides? We've made that easy too. Konica
Minolta provides an optional rotating table to
index the scanned part and capture all sides in
one automated process. Each scan is
automatically aligned. Who else makes it this
easy?

Required Host Computer

Advanced Polygon Editing Software (Standard Accessory)

Who but Konica Minolta
gives you a whole solution,
not just data? Each VIVID
910 includes Konica
Minolta's powerful polygon-
editing software. You can
operate the VIVID from your
host computer, perform
automatic data registration,
edit captured scan data (fill
holes, decimate, smooth,
etc), merge scans into a
single “watertight” mesh,
and export into a variety of
data formats.

Import Formats: *.stl, and *.cam, *.vvd, *.scn, *.cdm

(Konica Minolta proprietary)

Export Formats: *.dxf, *.obj Wavefront,

SOFTIMAGE, VRML and STL
(polygonal data)

ASCII (point cloud data)

TIFF *.tif, * PDM

(texture map color data)

Software functions

Automatic and Manual data registration, data
merging, smoothing, sub-sampling and
curvature-based decimation, polygon checking
(intersections, degeneration, etc), texture
blending and merging, etc.

• Point Group Editing
Selection via color, Bezier, rectangle tools,
interactive and parametric rotation, translation
of point groups, hole filling, smoothing, cloning
and deletion of point groups. Color editing:
color blending and merging of multiple color
scans

• Camera Remote Operation
Image capture, auto/manual-ranging, (i.e.,
depth of field setting), auto/manual laser power
setting, camera data acquisition control, turn-
table control

• Scan Data Display Modes
