DEC-DECimageOptionForVXT-2000

This document introduces the DECimage Option for VXT 2000, a product by Digital designed to provide low-cost, high-performance document image display solutions on its VXT 2000 windowing terminals.

It addresses the challenge of proliferating paperwork in offices by enabling businesses to efficiently scan, display, process, store, and retrieve paper documents electronically.

Key features and benefits of the DECimage Option include:

• Cost-Effectiveness: Offers the lowest cost-per-user for high-resolution imaging and is an affordable "plug-in" option board for existing VXT 2000 terminals, protecting previous investments.
• High Performance: Provides instantaneous image handling, with decompression, zooming, scaling, and rotation of bi-tonal images (displayed at 100 dpi, perceived 150 dpi) in less than one second. This is achieved through a hardware accelerator.
• Ease of Use & Integration: Built on the VXT 2000's X Window System capabilities, it seamlessly integrates with VMS, ULTRIX, and UNIX environments. It supports standard graphical user interfaces (OSF/Motif) and industry imaging standards (XIE, CCITT Group III/IV).
• Productivity Boost: By making image data as manageable as electronic data and simplifying image manipulation, it significantly increases efficiency in paper-intensive tasks.
• Developer Support: Digital provides three levels of software support (Image Utilities Library, DECimage Application Services, DECimage EXpress) to aid application developers in creating imaging solutions.

In essence, the DECimage Option for VXT 2000 transforms standard windowing terminals into powerful, affordable image display systems, making high-speed document imaging accessible to a broader range of users and applications.
