One of the first commercial color scanners that was ever designed and built, is the Chroma-Scan.
Designed at Scientific Technology (the predecessor of Scitex in Rehovot), the Chroma-Scan was manufactured and sold into the textile image design market.
The product manager was Arie Levin (right). Jacob Frommer (left) was the lead Electronics developer (see the schematic diagram behind them…).
