Visual Precision - High Accuracy Digitizers

MANTISSA - VERY HIGH ACCURACY DIGITISER

Overview

The Mantissa family of large format precision digitizers provides the highest levels of accuracy, resolution and performance in today's digitizer industry. Mantissa is the optimum input device for high accuracy applications requiring exact registration, such as cartography (GIS), precision CAD, pre-press and many others.

The slim and elegant Mantissa is in keeping with the style of today's modern office. The digitizer is extremely easy to use, with boxes conveniently located on its worksurface for rapid switching of modes or stored configurations.

Mantissa's cursor is ergonomically designed for optimum comfort and precision in a high productivity environment. Likewise system ergonomics are achieved by the special Super A1 model for use with custom workstations.
