Adrenaline 450

Workgroup scanners need support, too. The Adrenaline 450 is a Fast SCSI controller that offers 10 Mbps throughput. It supports scanning applications that use TWAIN, ISIS®, and ImageControls, and unlike conventional SCSI boards, it offers the convenience of a single installation of the board and scanner driver. And like all Adrenaline products, it's certified and supported for document scanning.

Adrenaline 650

The Adrenaline 650 brings Adrenaline's unmatched reputation for reliability to color and grayscale scanning -- from departmental all the way through high-volume scanners. This Ultra Wide SCSI controller offers 40 Mbps throughput. Like the 450, the Adrenaline 650 supports TWAIN, ISIS®, and ImageControls applications, and it enables a single installation of the board and scanner driver.

Adrenaline 650i

The Adrenaline 650i extends the 650 with sophisticated color image processing, including unsurpassed bar code recognition, plus deskew, patch code recognition, black border removal, despeckle, line removal, image enhancement filters, and much more.

Adrenaline 850

The Ultra Wide SCSI Adrenaline 850s is ideal for all popular low and mid-volume SCSI scanners, while the Adrenaline 850v is ideal for low and mid-volume video scanners. Both are capable of capturing images at the scanner's rated speed with an extensive set of image processing features enabled.

Adrenaline 1700

The Adrenaline 1700 is the highest speed, highest performance image processing accelerator on the market. The Adrenaline 1700s is an Ultra Wide SCSI board that is ideal for high-speed SCSI scanners, while the Adrenaline 1700v is ideal for high-speed video scanners. Adrenaline drives these scanners at rated speeds with an extensive set of image processing features fully enabled.

Adrenaline Image Processing Engine

The Adrenaline Image Processing Engine is a software-only alternative that supports scanning, display, and network printing, plus the same sophisticated color image processing as the Adrenaline hardware accelerators, including forms recognition, deskew, line removal, deshade, and edge enhancement. The Adrenaline Image Processing Engine is ideal for building batch-oriented image processing servers.

Adrenaline products are tested and certified with scanners from Bell & Howell, Canon, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, Panasonic, and Ricoh. To find out which Adrenaline product supports your scanner, check our online Scanner Configurator.
