Phase One XF Camera System for Cultural Heritage

The most flexible solution for the digitization of varied cultural collections

The Phase One XF Camera System delivers the most flexible solution for cultural institutions with mixed collections that include immovable, highly sensitive, or architectural pieces which cannot be digitized in a fixed studio setting.

With a range of resolutions and lenses available, all applications and needs are covered.

XF Camera System Features

Flexibility for mixed collections

An XF Camera System solution is befitting both for fixed copy stand-based digitization, as well as the digitization of immovable pieces such as large artworks, sensitive materials, statues, or architectural elements such as frescoes. This workflow flexibility is ideally suited for the digitization programs of museums and private collections.

Uncompromised image quality and integration

The XF Camera System delivers uncompromised image quality thanks to quality Schneider Kreuznach optics and high resolution full frame medium format sensors.

Phase One’s full frame medium format sensors allow you to capture more data, providing more detail and impressive results exceeding the requirements of even the most demanding digitization programs.

The full integration of hardware with the specialized Capture One CH software yields efficient, professional workflow and precision results. The Capture One CH integration offers complete camera control, reliable performance, and expertly crafted RAW conversion algorithms. Tools for auto-cropping and aligning of both documents and books is a huge time saver, as is the automated workflow for capturing negative film.

Durable build

The XF Camera System is built using industrial grade materials and processes, resulting in a camera that is both durable and reliable. The XF is built for daily use.

With the camera in Electronic Shutter mode, unlimited shutter actuations are possible, ensuring a long usable life with superb return on investment.
