LuraTech Certifies 64 Bit Version of LuraWave JP2 (JPEG2000/Part1)
LuraTech is the first manufacturer to officially certify that its
JPEG2000 is 64 bit compatible. Moreover, LuraTech has already deployed
and integrated its 64 bit LuraWave JP2 technology into several customer
applications.
Now 64 bit applications can access directly the JPEG2000 library without
having to use the 32 bit modus. The LuraWave JP2 C-SDK is available as
object code for Win64 and 64 bit Solaris. And it is availiable as
source code, which makes it completely independent from the operating
system and easy to port. Customers can request ready compiled object
code libraries for other operating systems and platforms as well.
LuraTech libraries have been designed for easy integration and are
guaranteed to be 100% ISO standard compatible. In addition LuraTech
supplies enterprise-class service and support, thus providing the best
JPEG2000 solution in the market.

Migrate Your GIS to the JPEG2000 Open Standard Now!
For a limited time, LuraTech is offering LuraWave JP2 Geo Edition for
more than 50% OFF to companies that plan to migrate their GIS from proprietary
imaging technology to JPEG2000, the open ISO standard!
If your GIS contains manufacturer-dependent (proprietary) image formats
such as ECW and/or Mr.SID, LuraTech now offers a fully JPEG2000 compliant
GEO SDK with UNLIMITED RUN-TIME LICENSES for only Euro 3.900,- until
July 15, 2005.
LuraTech prides itself on creating excellent performing and easy to
integrate SDK's, and the LuraWave JP2 GEO Edition is no exception.
LuraTech guaranties that the LuraWave JP2 GEO Edition is 100% JPEG2000
compatible because it has passed all compliance testing for part 4 of
the ISO standard. Since the beginning of the standardization process,
LuraTech has actively worked as a core member of the ISO JPEG2000
commission and has implemented its solution with several GIS customers
to deploy JPEG2000 compliant solutions.

LuraTech Offers the New 'PDF Specification v.1.5 Bundle'
Two new features in the PDF Specification v.1.5 are the ability to
display JPEG2000 and JBIG2 images. As more PDF authoring tools include
this new functionality, the requirement to support JPEG2000 and JBIG2
has increased drastically.
LuraTech now offers a special 'PDF Specification v.1.5 Bundle' that
combines LuraWave JP2 and LuraDocument JBIG2 SDK's into one package.
Designed for manufacturers of PDF compatible products, both SDK's are
available as full codecs or as 'decoder only' versions for those who only
need to view or print the new PDF format.
The special PDF Bundle is available on all leading platforms, operating
systems and even as source code. And best of all, the JPEG2000 / JBIG2
bundle has a simple licensing model allowing 'unlimited runtime' for a
one-time fee.
Zoran Corporation has already integrated LuraTech's solution into the
IPS-product, the preferred software solution for manufacturers of
printers and multi-function devices. Therefore, IPS can now print
PDF v.1.5 compatible files. 'After an evaluation of several alternatives,
we selected LuraTech for the support of JPEG2000 within PDF v.1.5.' says
Tom Mager, VP Software Engineering. 'Since it was easy to integrate and
LuraTech provided first-class support, we were able to incorporate the
technology, on a source code basis, in just two weeks.'

Mini Case Study: windream is LuraTech compatible!
After extensive testing, we have determined that the archiving and
document-management-system windream is '100% LuraTech compatible'.
Therefore windream customers can use highly compressed LuraTech formats
within their windream implementation.
'Despite all of the modern ways to communicate today, we have noticed an
ever increasing volume of paper being used at most of our customer
sites.' states Werner Schlieper, director solutions of windream. 'By
using LuraTech products in connection with windream we can reverse this
trend by making it possible for our customers to digitize and archive
paper quickly without using large amounts of storage or loss of image
quality.'
All of LuraTech products are certified:
- LuraWave JP2 for JPEG2000 image compression
- LuraDocument JPM for JPEG2000 document compression
- LuraDocument JBIG2 for compression of black & white scanned documents
- LuraDocument PDF for compression of scanned documents within PDF files
