Thumbnail Generator is an extension
to the Canto Cumulus Workgroup or Enterprise Client
based on the Canto EJaP (Embedded Java Plugins) technology.
It loads, creates, optimizes and modifies thumbnails in the
Canto Cumulus catalogs.
If Cumulus does not show a thumbnail for a file format or the
quality of the thumbnail is not good enough or you need a watermark
on the thumbnails (or ...) the Thumbnail Generator
comes into play. It can load existing JPEG files into the Cumulus
'Thumbnail' field or automatically creates thumbnails by converting
the original file into a configurable JPEG representation and
loads this JPEG file into the Cumulus catalog. Converter Applications
can be called directly from the Thumbnail Generator
to convert the format into JPEG.
If Cumulus can not create a preview for an asset (with its
file filters installed), the thumbnail is displayed instead.
Therefore it is possible with the help of the Thumbnail
Generator to create thumbnails up to 2048x2048 pixels.
In the preferences of the Thumbnail Generator application
you can specify attributes to set the size and quality of the
generated JPEG thumbnails and specify converters and converter
settings to generate these thumbnails.
If you need any help finding or configuring a converter application
that you want to use with the Thumbnail Generator,
just please tell us, we are happy to assist you to make your
converter work with the Thumbnail Generator. Do you
need additional functionality in the application? We develop
additional functionality based on your needs, just send
an email with detailed information about your requirements.
