Quick start
Six steps take you from a paper campaign list to a work you can turn, magnify and annotate on screen.
1. Sign in
Go to hub.aerariumchain.com and sign in with your AerariumChain account. If your institution invited you, accept the invitation first: your role decides which sections of the Hub you will see.
2. Choose your institution
The selector in the header lists the institutions you belong to. Choose the one you are working for, or remain in your personal space.
3. Bring in the campaign list
Open Artwork Catalog > Import Data and upload the campaign spreadsheet. The Hub recognises the columns of the DPAC template on its own; adjust any mapping if your list differs, save the mapping as a template for the next campaign, and confirm. The works now stand in the Artwork Library. The Catalog page explains every column.
4. Digitize
Capture happens in the galleries and storerooms with the AerariumChain Scan kit:
- The Scan app (downloaded from Acquisitions > Download App) drives the 3D scanner, the gigapixel camera and the multispectral sequence.
- A structured campaign is run with Site Manager, which keeps the checklist of what each work still needs.
5. Let the Hub do the technical work
Scans are uploaded from the Scan app; a single model can also be uploaded from 3D Assets. From there the Hub processes everything automatically: conversion, textures, levels of detail. You can watch the progress from the work's detail view, but nothing requires your intervention.
6. Study and share
When processing ends, open the model in the 3D viewer from any device, or the photographic plate in the Gigapixel viewer. Everything remains linked to the work's record in the Catalog.
Where to go next
- Deposit and notarize the digitized works with DPAC by Ecomic, from the Store.
- Read how the worker network does the heavy computation, and how your institution can take part in it.
