Canto partner and local developer Aimtec has released a new Canto Cumulus 8 add-on called ZoomA, a 'deep zoom' image server and viewer for images and documents displayed as a preview in Cumulus Sites and Web Client modules.

"Any organisation interested in providing an exciting and engaging way for visitors to interact with their Cumulus collection would benefit from ZoomA," said Aimtec Director Glenn Lawrence

"ZoomA brings a whole new look to Cumulus, with a simple and intuitive display of multiple images for closeup comparisons, high quality proofing and accurate diagnostics - not to mention fine art appreciation."

ZoomA (pron. 'zoomer') is a quick and easy way to get 'up close and personal' with your digital assets in Cumulus. ZoomA sits on top of your Cumulus Sites or Web Module internet access option to provide 'deep zoom' capability for all images and documents for which Cumulus displays a Preview. Using the built-in Cumulus Scheduler, you can now display images and documents in fine detail without having to download them.

"ZoomA made quite an impact at the recent Canto Partners Meeting in Berlin", said Ricky Patten, DataBasics Director. "Aimtec has really done a great job giving Cumulus users that extra zoom into their assets. The integration of ZoomA with Cumulus Sites is really tight and well worked out... hats off to Aimtec!"

ZoomA windows are fully resizeable and there is also a full page mode to let you view as much as possible at one time. ZoomA works by delivering only those parts of the image that you wish to see - no waiting for huge downloads to see the details you need.
