Red E-scanners - general info and FAQ
09/11/2023
What are the main differences between Red and Silver E-scanners?
CABINET
- Red ring instead of silver.
- Same dark-gray cabinet color for all scanners.
- Red straps on package box to differentiate from Silver E-scanners.
SCAN TIME
- E1/E2/E3 Red scan time was improved by 20% due to the same tracking algorithm as on Silver E4 and improved hardware.
- E4 Red scan time did not change compared to E4 Silver.
scan time is the time while the cameras are capturing the images and scanners axes are moving. The 2nd phase of scanning (post-processing) is done by ScanItDental software and will depend on the current PC specifications, scan settings and the type of scan.
New faster triangulation algorithm (100% based on the GPU, but has a backup CPU solution) in ScanItDental in DS-2020 works for all scanners, not only Red E-scanners.
Software versions support & Miscellaneous
1. What Dental System version is required for Red E-scanners?
E1/E2/E3 Red will only work with Dental System 2020 and ScanSuite 11.2.0 or higher. E4 Red works with Dental System 2019 and ScanSuite 11.0.0 or higher, same as E4 Silver.
2. Can the E1/E2/E3 Red scanners work with reduced speed in Dental System 2019?
No, red scanner models are only supported by Dental System 2020 or higher. Using a previous version of Dental System will cause compatibility issues.
3. Are there any updates to E4 Red compared to E4 Silver?
The only change for E4 is the cabinet (new red ring on the cabinet instead of silver). Tracking algorithms and scanning features are equivalent between the two models.
