Our Background
Phase One® was founded in 1993 by a Danish inventor, who was, at that time, manufacturer of drum scanners for the pre-press industry. To him it was obvious that the ultimate method of digitizing an image would be to capture it directly by means of a camera and thereby completely eliminate the use of film.

In 1994 Phase One was acquired by one of the leading venture capital companies in Denmark. In 2006 the ownership structure in Phase One changed. Four members of the Phase One management team have, as majority shareholders, together with a strong financial investor Dansk Erhvervsinvestering A/S (minority shareholder) taken ownership of Phase One.

Phase One’s head office is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. We also have a subsidiary, located in Long Island, NY, USA, to support our dealer network in USA and Canada as well as two regional offices which are situated in Cologne, Germany, and in Shanghai, China respectively.

Our Business

We are world leaders in "Direct Digital Imaging" – that is to say capturing an image digitally via a digital camera back and transferring it directly to a computer for editing, printing, and storage. We are committed to research and development and hold a significant number of patents for digital imaging, processing, and color rendition. Phase One technology is both unique and proprietary.

 

For some years now, Phase One has not only been about hardware. We have extended our business into the software area and have put more focus on the development of image capture software programs for digital camera back photography as well as for DSLR cameras.

Our Employees

We are a mixed group of people - all professionals and all with different backgrounds. Our diversity is our strength. At Phase One you will meet people from the pre-press industry, photographers, software programmers, experts in three dimensional color spaces, and even a sculptor!

Our Customers

Our key customers are professional photographers. They range from studios with 50 Phase One camera systems to one-person businesses - be it world famous fashion photographers or even ambitious amateur photographers, who cashed in stock options to buy a state of the art Phase One single shot camera back.

Our equipment is not limited to commercial photographic studios. We also installed various direct digital imaging systems in hospitals and museums. Furthermore, Phase One equipment has even been used for scientific expeditions - from the tropical climate of Northern Territories in Australia to the arctic climate of Antarctica.

Our Future

Our position as a market leader requires that we constantly monitor current as well as future technologies. We work closely with manufacturers of CCD sensors, cameras, computers, and monitors to ensure that we remain at the cutting edge of direct digital imaging technology. We also work closely with customers, who wish to use or are using the exceptional Phase One technology on special projects.
