Captiva PixTools SDK

Software development kit for creating, scanning and imaging applications

EMC Captiva PixTools SDK is a software development kit specifically built for imaging capture, including scanning, viewing, and image processing. PixTools SDK is ideal for developers building centralized or distributed document-capture applications that require document-imaging capabilities.

Developers can use the PixTools SDK to create document-capture applications in as little as one day. PixTools SDK leverages EMC Captiva ISIS drivers to ensure hardware scanners work seamlessly with the document imaging application.

The EMC' Captiva' PixToots' suite of imaging products isa comprehensive set of Software Devetoper Kits (SDK5) comprised of scanning, viewing, and image processing modules. Pixlools is ideal for developers who want to create custom document capture applications or embed powerful document imaging functionality into existing applications, allwithin the ISIS architecture-the industry-standard interface by EMC Captiva that unites scanners with software applications. Because Pixlools leverages ISIS (Image and Scanner Interface Specification), developers are assured that any application written with Pixlools will accommodate virtually any existing or future scanner that is paired with their Pixlools-based applications.

Pixlools SDKs have a flexible licensing model including named, concurrent, and server licensing for corporate and commercial deployments. EMC Captiva maintains long-term relationships with leading scanner manufacturers and utilizes hundreds of document scanners for development, testing, and troubleshooting. And EMC Captiva imaging specialists provide unparalleled support.

Utilizing Pixlools, experienced programmers can create a working document capture application in as little as one day. As a result, time to market is shortened; and development, testing, and support costs are reduced, increasing ROl and the ability to compete in an increasingly competitive market.

The big picture

EMC Captiva PixTools isa suite of imaging toolkits that enables software developers to get imaging solutions up and running in as little as one day, ultimately driving a faster time to market, These toolkits enable applications to communicate with more than 300 scanners without the need for any additional software or hardware dangles (keys).

The PixTools imaging suite of developer toolkits includes:

PixTools for.NET
PixTools/EZ
PixTools/Scan
PixTools/View
PixTools/Image Processing
PixTools/Distributed Imaging

ISIS is the industry standard enterprise-Level interface that unites scanners with software appLications. ISIS allows scanners to run at their rated speeds or higher and is the only imaging solution that allows users to take full advantage of the power inherent in scanners and other imaging machines. ISIS drivers are available for over 300 document, book, check, and large format scanners from more than 50 scanner hardware manufacturers worldwide.
