vMedia Architecture

Core Engine: vMedia is written in the Microsoft FoxPro 4gl language utilizing advanced SQL queries and fully optimized Rushmore technology. Customized versions of the vMedia application are available to OEMs and VARs who wish to integrate the vMedia functionality with their products.

Viewing Engine: An ultra fast decompression and image manipulation module is included within vMedia. Additional viewers for specialized applications can be easily integrated via a standard plug-in API.

Viewing Formats: TIFF, Adobe PDF, PCX, CALS, JPEG, BMP, and MIL are supported using the FullView32 Classic Viewing Engine included with vMedia.

Scanning Engine: A high performance custom scanning interface provides hands-off scanning for most TWAIN and all Kofaxattached scanners. vMedia features common scanning controls and a consistent user interface regardless of what brand, make, or model scanner is used.

Imaging Engine: Supports images stored on any magnetic device or group of devices, any OS readable optical or magneto-optical device, WORM, CD-ROM, and DVD. Integral support is provided for removable and non-removable devices, including intelligent error handling for these types of devices. Jukeboxes and CD-ROM towers are supported. vMedia also supports SAN and NAS devices.

Print Capture Engine: vMedia can capture print output from any application and create a scanned document representation of the data. vMedia includes a native Windows printer object that supports all of the standard Windows printer device properties such as page size, orientation, and resolution in both color and black and white.

Rushmore: This is a data access technique that permits sets of records to be accessed very efficiently. Rushmore query optimization uses indexes efficiently to quickly find a set of records. It is used on queries that involve restrictions on multiple-indexed fields. Rushmore is an exclusive technology for rapidly selecting sets of records from tables. It can reduce query response times from hours or minutes to seconds.

Third-party Control: vMedia can be controlled by any third-party application that can call a batch file. In addition, vMedia is an OLE Automation Server for rich control by other Windows programs. vMedia also features a silent DDE Server to provide embedded document management services for any vertical application software.
