ImageServer 5XE ships with a complete image creation, management and reporting toolset for each step in the image content lifecycle. This improves and fully integrates the business and technology process of image asset management and reduces its overall cost.

Create, Author, Convert, Edit, Publish

Reality Studio 2 Multimedia Authoring Tools: The latest authoring toolset from iseemedia, Reality Studio 2, gives users everything they need in a multimedia authoring toolkit for web and CD and DVD publishing. Reality Studio 2 combines and merges images, panoramas, photo-realistic 3D image objects, digital video, digital audio and animations, to create complete immersive and interactive presentations. Simple publishing creates a single scene in HTML with all the necessary media for playback.

Industry Leading Application Plug-Ins (Adobe PhotoShop & Macromedia DreamWeaver): IS5XE plug-ins give the web page creator an easy way to insert ImageServer specific code into the web page. No custom programming is required. For example, the IS5XE PhotoShop Plug-In for Windows and MAC gives content creators the ability to save images directly to a format supported by IS5XE. If multi-purpose imaging is required you can store images in their native format and use the batch converter.

Image Authoring Manager: The Image Authoring Manager is an image editing tool which allows the web page designer to make final adjustments to the image presentation. Images can be cropped and rotated and color, brightness, and contrast can be adjusted, etc. All edits are non-destructive and are dynamically applied to the image when requested by the browser.

Image Navigator: A quick and easy tool for content managers, web developers and administrators can navigate through image files stored on the server. All images including FPX and IVUE can be viewed as thumbnails or viewed at various sizes.

vuForge: vuForge is an application for customizing the user interface and functionality of the Java viewer. Web developers can select from a large number of color schemes and UI button styles to better integrate the viewer controls with the look and feel of the web page.

Universal™ Viewer: The application server handles the merging of Universal Viewer™ templates with the image. Because IS5XE allows for open access to template design, web designers have greater control over the look and feel of the presentation by using standard JSP and HTML template tags. This also alleviates system overhead from the ImageServer and transfers it to the application server.

Image Upload Manager: The IS5XE Uploader is for content creators and provides the ability to upload images to a content management or staging server, as well as into a database. Uploading can be done on a network, intranet or internet. The IS5XE Upload Receiver works in conjunction with the IS5XE Uploader and can be configured to accommodate a wide variety of content workflows. Based on user ID, the Upload Receiver can pass the image for conversion to FPX, save in a pre-defined directory, or direct to a content management server, application server or save as an entry in a database.

Batch Image Manager: The Batch Image Manager is an image conversion tool that provides the content creator with the ability to automate the process of converting image files to a format supported by the iseemedia server. The Batch Image Manager can be run on a local machine or on a server. If multi-purpose imaging is required users can store images in their native format and then use the batch converter.

Dynamic Image Publishing & Delivery to Any Device, Anywhere: iseemedia’s patented image delivery process allows for publishing output to web, printers, multimedia and (with iseemobility 5M option) mobile devices.

Integrate, Develop, Manage, Measure & Report

Administrator’s Management Console: The Administration Manager has three components that encompass a number of functions. It is a secure application that allows the System Administrator, Content Administrator and Design Administrator to manage, configure and monitor the IS5XE Server. IS5XE Administration Manager can be launched from most Web browsers either locally or remote.

IS5E Web Services Manager: This is a WebDAV compliant toolkit and provides an open development framework for enterprise content integration. As a result of this web services module, IS5XE is compatible with most web, application and portal servers. IS5XE web services include the following functions:

1. A single repository system that puts all image content in the enterprise under one store.

2. A web-based process to manage and administer projects, processes and configurations.

3. A uniform interface solution that provides a consistent user experience across all platforms and clients.

4. A centralized management solution that still gives flexibility for individual projects and for large scale enterprise needs.

5. Closed-Loop Change Management that eliminates loose ends, unauthorized changes and dropped tasks.

6. A complete framework for image management that handles not just image assets, but all their attributes and relationships.

7. Fully secure access from local area network or across the Internet. Password controls provide each user with different levels of management functionality.

Performance & Asset Manager: A toolset that enables users to carry out asset analysis and performance tests. It is used to execute performance tests against the image server by generating stochastically simulated load and logging response times, success and error rates.

Report Manager: Report Manager is an application that gives the administrator the ability to select the data that will be used to generate reports. The Report Viewer provides an HTML interface for marketing or other non-technical personnel to view reports and to change the presentation of data based on various criteria.

ImageServer 5XE & Mobile Enterprise Applications:
The IS5XE Mobile Server Extension, iseemobility 5M, is an ideal platform to serve images to mobile devices because changes made at the source image immediately available to all web and mobile viewers without need for ripple effect changes. iseemobility 5M delivers image content to wireless and mobile devices over 802.11 b/g, GPRS, 1X, and 3G networks. iseemedia is currently developing client applications for Palm, PocketPC, RIM, SmartPhone2002 and Symbian platforms.
