“I am delighted to welcome LizardTech as members of BARSC and am confident that they will find membership of great value for the access it will give to information, people and organisations engaged in relevant activities in the UK,” said Chetan Pradhan BARSC chairman. “BARSC’s members will in turn gain access to the innovative technologies developed and marketed by LizardTech. I am very pleased to see BARSC’s membership continue to grow, adding new dimensions to its portfolio of member capabilities in this way.”

“We’re excited to be joining BARSC, an association known for their support of organisations who work with remote sensing technology and data,” said Kelly Downs, director of sales. “As leaders in creating software for compressing, manipulating and distributing data, we look forward to sharing our knowledge and expertise with other BARSC members as well as gaining access to the information available exclusively to member firms.”

As members LizardTech will now benefit from invitations to regular events that, in the past have included presentations from senior staff of ESA, the UK Space Agency, NCEO, and the like. Regular information emails detailing relevant industry events and, most importantly, eligibility to attend the renowned BARSC Annual Lunch.

Membership in BARSC is open to all remote sensing organisations, no matter their size, with offices in the United Kingdom. LizardTech’s London EMEA office is run and managed by geo-sales and marketing agency Quarry One Eleven.

Per-band compression ratios among key new features

SEATTLE, Wash. – October 17, 2011 - LizardTech^®, a provider of software solutions for managing and distributing geospatial content, is releasing version 8.5 of its GeoExpress® software this week at the GEOINT 2011 Symposium in San Antonio, Texas where the company is exhibiting in booth #263.

This upgraded version of GeoExpress, which allows geospatial professionals to compress and manipulate satellite and aerial imagery, offers exciting new features, including per-band compression ratios. This will allow users to choose different compression ratios for different bands in their images. For example, anyone with an eight band image can choose to compress the Red, Green, and Blue bands at 20:1, but compress all the other bands losslessly.

Additionally, users can now choose a subset of bands to encode. Previously, they could encode 1, 3, or all bands to MrSID. Now, they can choose any subset of bands. For instance, they can now choose six bands out of an 8-banded image to compress to MG4.

The licensing functionality has also been improved, enabling administrators to restrict how many floating licenses can be taken off network. This comes as a great benefit for administrators who now can allocate their licenses as needed for both internal and external users.

“Similar to previous product releases, this new update offers what our customers have requested,” said Jon Skiffington, director of product management. “Specifically, the per-band compression ratio feature is exciting and we’ve already been receiving great feedback on this addition.”

A free, 30-day trial of GeoExpress is available here:http://www.lizardtech.com/downloads

LizardTech will be conducting demonstrations of GeoExpress 8.5 in their booth #263. In addition, the company’s other products will be featured including Express Server^® for high-performance delivery and publication and LiDAR Compressor^™ for turning giant point cloud datasets into efficient MrSID^® files.

Now With Support for MrSID Generation 4 (MG4)

SEATTLE, Wash. – July 5, 2011 - LizardTech^®, a division of Celartem Inc. and a leading provider of software solutions for managing and distributing geospatial content, announced the release of version 7 of Express Server^® image distribution software. Express Server 7, designed to enable geospatial professionals to distribute high-resolution raster imagery, supports the MrSID^® Generation 4 (MG4^™) format, which uses alpha-band transparency for better looking mosaics and enables the delivery of specified bands from multi- and hyperspectral imagery.

With Express Server’s support for distributing hyperspectral data users can use it to serve up to 255 bands of geospatial data in MrSID format. Whether they need to serve out 4-band color images containing an infrared channel, take advantage of the latest 8-band satellite imagery, or distribute high-resolution RGB datasets, Express Server has all angles covered.

Also new in version 7 is support for 64-bit systems. Among other things, this enables users to allocate more memory to caching, which improves Express Server performance.

“Express Server is the fastest, most stable, and easiest way to distribute high-resolution raster imagery,” said Jon Skiffington, director of product management. “And now with support for MG4 in the latest version, anyone serving imagery can deliver better looking mosaics and take advantage of multi- and hyperspectral imagery and the performance gains of using a 64-bit operating system.”
