Company Name: Imacon

Description: Imacon was a Danish company started by Christian Poulsen. The company was known for developing a number of digital camerabacks and high-end scanners. Most of the devices are used in making and developing photographs.

One of the company’s noted product line was the Flextight scanner. Imacon released several kinds of devices under this` line. These scanners are used to digitize films made by analog cameras. Imacon also sold accessories which are used with, and which are compatible with the scanners. These include a variety of film holders which can be used to set different sizes on the scanner.

One of the notable models from the line of scanners was the Flextight 848 CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) scanner. The product was marketed in 2002. The device had a capacity of 50 Mb per minute. Imacon’s main competitors in scanners were Epson and Howtek.

Imacom’s cameras were some of the earliest and most advanced digital camerabacks of its time. The models released included specialty cameras that could be used in a studio environment or on the field. One of the most popular releases was the Ixpress digital camera back. Most of these cameras allowed setting adjustments similar to manual SLR film cameras.

Imacon’s Ixpress used the Image Bank technology. This acts both as a power supply and a 40 Gb hard disk. The camera is sold in a set with additional accessories and electronics. Ixpress can also be integrated with video cameras via a special adapter. The Ixpress back itself can be used with other digital cameras.

The company also developed and designed a companion program called Flexcolor. Flexcolor was similar to the software distributed with the company’s scanners. It allows users to store and manage the images taken with the camera. Kodak was Imacon’s main competitor in the medium-range digital cameraback market.

Imacon was later incorporated with the Victor Hasselblad AB company. Hasselblad is a Swedish camera manufacturer. The said deal was brokered by the Shiro Group. The Shiro group was originally a Hasselblad distributor for Asian regions. It later acquired the majority of Hasselblad’s shares.

The Shiro Group’s Sweden holding company announced in August 2004 that Imacon would be acquired to be merged with Hasselblad. Prior to that, most of Hasselblad’s products were end-consumer film cameras. With the merger, Imacon’s products were then absorbed under the Hasselblad brand. This expanded the company’s catalogue to include professional digital cameras. Imacon founder Poulsen was then made the CEO of the merged company.
