Canto Software and 4-Sight Announce
Remote Image Database Integration


San Francisco, CA -- September 11, 1996-- Canto® Software Inc., the technology leader in digital image management software and 4-Sight, the leading supplier of prepress ISDN solutions have integrated an easy to administer, secure and affordable remote image database. The integration of Canto Cumulus Network Image Database 3.0 and 4-Sight iSDN Manager saves time and money with the ability to now remotely browse an image database through the Internet and have selected images delivered automatically back via a direct dial up, peer to peer ISDN connection.

Previously the concept of remote databases suffered in two areas preventing mass market acceptance. First was the lack of common access for people to browse images as a new client and, not having the right software to access the database. Secondly, the security issues and maintenance associated with setting up the telecommunications required to give enough bandwidth to download the selected images was also a deterrent.

The Database Access via the Internet
A new solution is now available utilizing the Internet server functionality of Canto Cumulus 3.0 with 4-Sight's iSDN Manager which is secure, easy to maintain and compatible with over 30,000 ISDN solutions worldwide. Now any user can browse vast image Cumulus catalogs using any standard web browser to select the digital images or documents they wish to receive. After providing an ISDN number, selected images are then delivered instantly via 4-Sight iSDN Manager. More open access and the ability to get images sent back can be restricted on a per user basis.

The ISDN Link
Due to 4-Sight's barrier method of delivery, all ISDN connections are completely secure and to enter a new destination, the user just enters their ISDN number (similar to using a Fax back service). iSDN Manager simply packages up the images into one folder and places it into a queue waiting to be sent. If the ISDN line is busy it will wait and try again until the delivery is successful.
