ISIS Xpress is a powerful software development kit (SDK) used in either .NET or ActiveX COM development environments to control high-speed ISIS scanners.

ISIS Xpress is designed for high-speed scanning of black/white, color and grayscale documents and provides access to ISIS scanner features. ISIS Xpress also supports simultaneous image capture (multistreaming).

Here are some key features of "ISIS Xpress":

· Programming environments: Win32 visual development environments including Visual Studio 2008

· Sample code is included for: VB.NET, C#, Delphi .NET, VB, VC++

· Object-oriented API for .NET users

· Deploys within .NET as a managed component and is fully compliant with .NET 2.0 and above

· Can also be used in any development environment that hosts ActiveX COM controls

· Support user-specified debug logging levels

· Client/server Web development capabilities

· Free full-featured trial version available for immediate download

· Provides complete control over all high-speed ISIS-driven scanners supported by EMC Corporation's PixTools

· Scan directly to memory

· Resolution can range from 50 dots-per-inch (dpi) to 2400 dpi or more

· Automatic feeder, printer/endorsers, and transparency units are supported

· Interfaces with SCSI, USB, serial port, video, parallel port, GPIB, and proprietary interfaces

· Access high-performance scanners from Canon, Agfa, BancTec, Bell & Howell, Epson, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Inotec, Kodak, Microtek, Minolta, Panasonic, Ricoh, Sharp, Umax, and others

· Compress to standard document image file formats, including:

TIFF (Raw, Packbits, Binary CCITT Group 3, Binary CCITT Group 3 Modified, Binary CCITT Group 4)

Color and grayscale JPEG (24-bit sequential and 8-bit sequential)

DCX

· In .NET, also output to

Bitmap

HBITMAP

· In ActiveX, also output to

HDib

· Add on ImagXpress Document for decompression, conversion, or display of the file formats listed above plus support for many additional file formats

· Add on PDFXpress for PDF support

· Take full advantage of scanners supporting multistream technology

· Simultaneously output multiple images from a single scan (any two combination of color, grayscale and/or bitonal)

· Multistreaming of images is scanner-dependent. There are two methods for capturing multiple images: 1. Duplex – Scans both front and back. 2. Multistreaming – Outputs two images from the same side. Multistreaming with duplex yields four images (two front and two back).

· Scanning modes could include full-color, black-and-white, grayscale, binary or RGB color dropout. Using these modes and multistreaming, a user could simultaneously acquire a color image and a grayscale image of one source page.
