Abstract: The invention relates to a device for acquiring images of a surface (12) with different spatial resolution, the device including a camera (16) having an optical system (18) that can be focused onto the surface, a mechanical system (20) which is designed to vary the distance between the camera (16) and the surface (12) and wherein the optical system (18) includes a liquid lens (26) having an electronically adjustable focal length.

Abstract: An arrangement for capturing an image of a printing substrate web in a printing machine, includes a camera that has a sensor field extending parallel to the printing substrate web, and an objective lens an optical axis of which runs at right angles to the sensor field, a light source that is arranged relative to the printing substrate web such that the light emitted therefrom is reflected by reflective surface portions of the printing substrate web mainly into the camera, and the objective lens is arranged to be offset from the sensor field such that a straight line extending through the center of the sensor field and the center of the objective lens and a straight line extending from the center of the light source to the center of the light incident on the image field on the printing substrate web form equal angles with the axis of incidence.

Abstract: In a method or system for generation of media print copies of at least one media title, running data are generated in an editing computer, the running data being associated with a media page. The running data have reference information and are transferred to a job system. Job data of an individual job are generated from the running data and from customer-specific data that correspond to media categories of the media title. Individual page frame data are formed from the job data. Control information is attained from the job data and with the control information the page frame data are merged with page content data of pages filled with editorial information.

Abstract: In a method or system for generation of customer-specific, individualized media print copies of at least one media title, running data are generated in an editing computer, the running data being associated with a media page, the running data comprising reference information regarding media pages of the media title. The running data are transferred to a job system. In the job system, job data of an individual job are generated from the running data and from customer-specific data that correspond to media categories of the media title. Individual page frame data are formed from the job data that correspond to a job-individual layout of the media print copy. Control information is attained from the job data and with the control information the page frame data are merged with page content data of pages filled with editorial information generated by an editorial department according to the running data to form print data for printing of the media print copy.
