Thank you very much for your help

Vector images: a category of images created from computer programs used for drawing such as AutoCad, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia FreeHand, and Corel Draw. The drawings are made up of lines and curves that are described mathematically.

raster images: Also known as bitmap images, are composed of small squares, known as pixels, that lie on a grid. These images are resolution dependent – they represent a fixed number of pixels. As a result, they can appear jagged and lose detail if they are scaled on-screen or if they are printed at a higher resolution than they were created for. Raster images are created by scanning or by using a paint program such as Adobe Photoshop.

Digital Asset Management: consists of tasks and decisions surrounding ingesting, annotating, cataloguing, storage and retrieval of digital assets, such as digital photographs, animations, videos and music. Digital asset management systems are computer software and/or hardware systems that aid in the process of digital asset management.

Colourization: A process which allows painting a black/white or even a color video image with artificial colors

Colour Space: A two or three dimensional geometric representation of colors that can be seen or generated. RGB is an example of a two dimensional color space. LAB is a three dimensional color space.

Bit Depth in images: This refers to the color or gray scale of an individual pixel. A pixel with 8 bits per color gives a 24 bit image. (8 Bits X 3 colors is 24 bits.) CCD are colored in a pixel by pixel method.

Pixel: Picture element. The smallest unit (point) of an image displayed on screen. The quality of an image depends on the number of pixels per inch that make up the image

Pixellation: In computer graphics, pixelation is an effect caused by displaying a bitmap or a section of a bitmap at such a large size that individual pixels, small single-colored square display elements that comprise the bitmap, are visible to the eye.

Digital et - Documentum - Cooliris

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Cooliris (formerly Piclens) is revolutionizing the way we search, view, and enjoy media and digital ets. While the product has been around for a few years, it continues to become more polished and impressive. Cooliris uses a moving wall display of pictures and video and is employed as a plug-in for Firefox, a popular web browser. They have also included the ability to embed the product into an existing website and various SDK\Developer tool kits.

Cooliris (http://www.cooliris.com/) displays content using a digital wall, with amazing speed. It also provides for sharing and viewing media directly from the wall display.

I wonder who will be the first to implement something like this in their DAM product. EMC has clearly been leading the way with user interfaces geared toward web2.0 in the Enterprise space. Products such as Documentum Media WorkSpace and Documentum Centerstage are clearly filling the need for easy to use and feature rich digital et management and collaboration systems. From our point of view we see users looking for more then just the ability to find ets, they want and often demand the same tools and user experience they get with popular websites using thier Home PC.

Content Application Systems CAPPS is a full service EMC Velocity Partner focused on delivering Enterprise Content Management and Document Management solutions for a variety of industries including the Public Sector, Law Enforcement, Utilities, Medical, Engineering, Architecture, Construction, and Legal. Our team has a wide range of expertise including Digital et Management, Accounts Payable, Contracts Management, Document Management, Records Management, and E-Discovery.
