Tenders are sought for the supply of Camera Equipment, Lights and Software capable of operating in a production environment, to meet the conservation requirements for the digitization of precious books or other bound historic documents. The camera system must feature a full-frame medium format DSLR camera body of the highest professional standard, suitable for high-end digital reproduction work and compliant with the latest digital heritage standards. It should include a detachable digital back, allowing compatibility with other camera equipment, and must be capable of operating via a USB-C port. Two lenses will be required to ensure the optical precision and accuracy necessary for digital heritage applications. 1 pair of lamps, using high efficiency LEDs.
