Visual Precision - TDS Quora small format cordless digitizers

QUORA - SMALL FORMAT CORDLESS DIGITISERS

Overview

Tablets are widely acknowledged as the most versatile and intuitive input devices available. in contrast to a mouse, a tablet's absolute positioning system makes screen pointing faster. It's also more accurate, less tiring when used over an extended period and there's the ability to capture information from source documents by tracing, point digitizing and menu box selection. With a tablet freehand drawing, sketching and painting is easy, natural and fast - try doing that with a mouse and you'll rapidly see why tablet users never return to the old ways.

Quora desktop tablets are designed to deliver the highest performance across this range of applications. Based on a TDS patented passive sensing technology which enables cordless, battery free pointing devices, the Quora family is an innovative range of UK designed and built tablets for all disciplines of design and graphics.

What we say

Like their bigger brothers, the cordless range of small format Quora tablets are built to the same high standards.

We have supplied the A3 and A2 versions to a number of leading clients for use with our measurement software and they, as well as us, have been very pleased with their performance. The A2 unit is a good compromise between cost, performance and portability with a number of clients selecting it for both desktop and mobile work where desk space was a serious consideration. The cordless (and batteryless) cursors and nicely designed and comfortable to work with.

The small units are well suited to graphics applications and are pressed into use in our office with such applications as Adobe Photoshop. We like them!
