ImageServer G8

HELIOS ImageServer G8

is a server-based image conversion and color transformation solution with integrated process and workflow automation. It supports major image formats and color spaces, as well as XMP, EXIF, clipping path, and ICC metadata. Tasks can be automated via hot folders, CLI tools, and OPI image repurposing. The system is designed to offload highly CPU-intensive image processing from desktop workstations to dedicated servers.

Image Conversion

between any supported file format, resolution, compression, and color space. ICC profiles can be applied/tagged. All image information can be retrieved. ICC, XMP, and path metadata can be imported and exported. Resolution and size can be adjusted in existing files. Web previews with customizable x/y pixel or resolution are supported. Images with a clipping path can be converted to transparent PNGs.

Hot Folder Automation

via Script Server and Tool Server integrates and automates server and client applications.

Server-based ICC Color Management

Using ICC profiles, ImageServer keeps original high-resolution images in RGB, Lab, or CMYK on the server and repurposes them for different conversion and printing needs. Profiles are applied on-the-fly to deliver excellent conversions, color-matched proofs, and composite or separated output. Full support for 16-bit images, ICC v4 profiles, DeviceLink profiles, and Black Point Compensation.

OPI Support

automatically creates low-resolution versions of all supported file formats for placement in layout applications. During output, layout images are replaced on-the-fly with optimized high-resolution images.
