Geospatial
Now, GeoExpress is ready to evolve once again. Most of our customers need to put their imagery on the Web. For this, LizardTech offers our Express Server application to make it easy to serve high quality imagery to a variety of applications at any bandwidth speed. But deploying imagery to an Express Server has always been a manual process, and required some specialized technical skills that most of our customers don't want to learn. After all, you're a GIS professional, not a network administrator. With GeoExpress 7, deploying imagery to the Express Server can be done in just a couple of clicks, with no networking knowledge required. Now it's easier than ever before to create WMS layers and custom Web applications directly within GeoExpress. Now you can receive your imagery, mosaic it, color balance, reproject, compress, and deploy it to the Web in one quick step. We hope that this makes your day-to-day job easier than ever before, allowing the infrastructure of your image delivery systems to stay out of your way so you can get your own work done. This integration between GeoExpress and Express Server is just a first step in a new direction for GeoExpress. Of course, there are many other new features as well, including some enhancements to eliminate "speckling" on the edges of images, an updated user interface, new decoding tools and much more. Stay tuned throughout January as we rollout GeoExpress 7!
Document Express
Dr. Lim joined LizardTech in 2001 as marketing director for the DjVu product line and will use his extensive knowledge of DjVu to continue to grow the brand under the Celartem name. Dr. Lim, who is also General Manager for Celartem's Seoul, Korea Office, anticipates that with this transfer, DjVu will be better marketed on a worldwide basis. "More efficient product development, better customer service, and a more global reach" answered Dr. Lim when asked about what this change means for DjVu customers. "It also means that the current suite of Document Express products will garner even more investment and focus from Celartem headquarters", he added. The proof of this focus will be shown in the long awaited upgrade of Document Express Enterprise Edition 7.0 due out in early 2008. Although the ownership of DjVu will now be handled by Celartem, the North American and European markets will continue to be serviced by Celartem from LizardTech's Seattle office by David Calabro, LizardTech's Sales Coordinator, to ensure a seamless transition. For further information or questions, please contact David Calabro at 206-902-2879.
Where Is LizardTech?
Event Recap GIS Day Event On Wednesday, November 14 LizardTech participated in GIS Day by visiting fifth graders at Brighton School in Seattle, WA for a presentation about geography and geographic information systems (GIS). The focus of our presentation was geography and the role it plays in everybody's daily lives. Additionally, the evolution of technology and its impact on geographic information systems was examined in light of the students' current study of the American Revolutionary War. John Ruffing, Genie Hays and David Calabro were the representatives who displayed Revolutionary War era maps of the 13 original colonies, while quizzing the students and challenging them to identify the difficulties in map creation during that time period. Our visit was very successful with full participation and engagement from the students. We have already been invited to come back next year! Additionally, The American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) Bulletin published an article about LizardTech's GIS Day contribution, which you can read here. You can also access the article from the bulletin's home page.

Tips and Tricks
Tip:
Speeding up the encoding process in GeoExpress: To speed up the encoding process, you can elect to use more system memory. 1. Select Encode Options… from the Options menu. Versions of GeoExpress prior to version 7 will not use more than 2 GB of memory, so check the "estimated memory usage" (shown on the Advanced tab and also on the main Properties tab) to ensure that you are not above the limit.
