JPIP SUPPORT RELEASED FOR PICTOOLS™ JPEG2000 BY PEGASUS IMAGING |
| TAMPA, FL, December 19, 2005 - Pegasus Imaging, the leader in digital imaging software technology, today released JPIP support within PICTools™ JPEG2000 Software Development Kit (SDK). JPIP is designed to optimize network delivery and viewing speed of user-selectable resolutions and areas of interest on JPEG 2000 images. The advantage of this client-server technology is the speed at which regions of interest of any JPEG 2000 image are delivered and viewed, at a desired resolution, without having to download the entire image file. PICTools JPEG2000 provides sophisticated imaging technology enabling engineers to design and build a JPIP implementation wholly in accordance with the JPEG 2000, Part 9 standard. The PICTools JPEG2000 SDK contains low-level C libraries, provides a complete JPIP API for client and server side deployments, provides JPEG 2000 compliant compression, JPIP request and response, and decompression of JPEG 2000 images. The Pegasus Imaging JPIP implementation benefits from many years of experience working with streamed multi-resolution image formats. In fact, Pegasus has successfully offered a similar solution, Image Delivery Protocol (IDP), since 2002. “Pegasus JPIP support will provide a huge benefit to our clients by greatly improving the speed of JPEG 2000 image delivery and viewing.” says Will Clonts, medical business development manager at Pegasus Imaging. “The ability to rapidly deliver areas of interest of very large images over limited-bandwidth networks is particularly valuable for remotely viewing medical images. These images can be quickly presented to healthcare providers at multiple remote locations for diagnosis, consultation, or review.” PICTools™ JPEG2000 has been developed by Pegasus Imaging's team of research scientists who specialize in imaging and compression technologies. Maximum code speed has been achieved through algorithm and machine code optimizations. PICTools technologies are supported across multiple environments, including Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), Solaris, Linux, AIX, Mac, BeOS, and QNX. Pegasus Imaging optimizes PICTools technology for performance in specific environments through the use of assembly programming and processor-specific optimizations. The underlying architecture of PICTools allows desired imaging functionality to be efficiently ported to any requested operating system while preserving a common interface and operating convention.
