Fly By is a digitizing machine designed for ultra-high resolutionacquisition of medium to large-scale paintings directly in the place where they are exhibited or stored. The system was created to minimize the handling of works, limiting risks, time and operational complexity, and making in situ digitization possible even in constrained or difficult-to-access settings.
The structure and photographic set-ups are designed to ensure portability, rapid installation and maximum operational flexibility. Fly By can also be operated by a single operator and allows work in relatively confined spaces, minimizing disruption to the host institution.
The vertical automatic shooting technique, combined with a controlled and filtered lighting system, allows gigapixel acquisitions with high accuracy, while meeting the quality and safety parameters required for the digitization of cultural heritage.
– Features
The system enables digitization of works at the place of exhibition or storage, avoiding travel and minimizing risk.
It uses an automated vertical acquisition technique that makes very high resolution images in a controlled, precise and repeatable manner.
The lighting is confined to the photographed area only, limiting the exposure of the work and ensuring safety for the entire acquisition.
The illuminants use filters to reduce ultraviolet radiation, thereby eliminating exposure to components harmful to sensitive materials.
Images achieve resolutions between 400 and 4000 ppi, depending on the original size, ensuring high levels of detail and fidelity.
The machine is designed to be easily transportable and quickly installed, adapting to different operating contexts and limited space.
The system can also be managed by a single operator, optimizing time, resources and logistics during digitization activities.
It enables digitization directly at the exhibition or conservation site, eliminating the need for travel. This reduces conservation risks, simplifies logistics and protects the physical integrity of the works.
The system uses controlled lighting confined to the photographed area, with reduced exposure times and dedicated filters, ensuring maximum safety even on sensitive materials and valuable works.
The acquisitions made meet the parameters defined by ISO/TS 19264-1, ensuring accuracy, color consistency and scientific reliability of the result for preservation, study and dissemination.
The system’s design allows it to operate in confined or constrained environments, such as exhibition halls or complex architectural settings, while maintaining acquisition quality and full process control.
The transportable structure and rapid operational set-up reduce intervention time and impact on the host institution’s operations, thus making Fly By suitable even for temporary digitization sites.
The system is designed for digitizing medium-to-large paintings set up on walls, offering a specialized solution for high-resolution gigapixel acquisitions and great documentary value.
