Here it is. Three or four weeks of work from what was supposed to be a twenty minute video about one awful, forgettable scanner. It turns out "awful and forgettable" is just how we've treated scanners As A Society, but their early days are actually fascinating.

This was excellent, but I must add one thing

Triple CCD? How about triple sheet. This is a Devin Tri-Color camera. It has a beam splitter which projects the same image through RGB filters onto sheet film.

Don’t know why I’m posting this in reply to scanners? Well, you should watch the video.

This was great! And all new to me. Aside from a couple of uses of a hand scanner similar to that weird handheld thing you showed off at the beginning of the video, my mother (and me messing around with her work equipment as a kid) never had a scanner until 1999/2000 and it was relatively identical to a modern flatbed, albeit SCSI.

It was wonderful to see Aldus PageMaker again. She used that after the camera-ready/pasteup days up until Adobe bought it and sat on it and then Quark Xpress crushed its marketshare; and then shortly thereafter the OS9/OSX transition and the emergence of InDesign killed Quark.
