| DALiM DiALOGUE for Macintosh OS X, is a revolutionary image/page soft proofing It's a truly open world solution that requires no specialised client software or need for high bandwidth connections. Only limited by the processing power of the server, DALiM DiALOGUE can allow an unlimited number of concurrent users to be connected. Group participants enter the system using nothing more than a standard web browser, so there's no more time and expense incurred in keeping client software up to date. Unlike comparative solutions, no compression of data is undertaken. This ensures 100% original file integrity - a prerequisite in all approval processes. Workflow Ability The ability to publish "watched folders" anywhere within your workflow is an important feature of DALiM DiALOGUE. In a matter of minutes you establish "watched folders", add users and set permissions to allow or deny access to individual tools, features or folders. This flexibility and simplicity makes it easy to develop powerful, efficient and trusted soft/hard proofing solutions to client needs which can be branded with your own corporate image. Quality High-resolution files of unlimited size can be viewed in seconds - even over standard dial-up connections. As soon as files enter a DALiM DiALOGUE "watched folder", they can be accessed by all authorised participants. DALiM DiALOGUE's unique data-streaming technology ensures that users view and collaborate on a file in its full, high-resolution state, without it ever leaving you! Colour Critical Thanks to the power of the Macintosh OS X operating system, colour-management occurs at system level. This allows DALiM DiALOGUE to take advantage of Apple's ColorSync colour management technology to incorporate ICC profile calibration. The online densitometer measures colour channels (CMYK, RGB and Spot) offering a colour-accurate online proofing solution, for calibrated colour monitors and local hard-copy output devices. The ICC profile support means it's possible for all users to see colour accurate, high-resolution soft proofs in seconds and print local hard copy proofs in minutes, regardless of geographical distance. If given privileges, users can even download files directly to their desktop for subsequent remote proofing. The downloaded file is made uneditable, there by ensuring a true facsimile of the original. Suddenly the creative and approval process takes on a new dimension in terms of immediacy, quality and team-working. DALiM TWiST Based on award-winning technology, DALiM TWiST employs an Open Systems philosophy to bring high throughput, reliability and flexibility to demanding environments. At the same time, DALiM TWiST 's unique software architecture allows small to medium-sized companies to gain significant performance and feature benefits, permitting easy scalability at a later date. DALiM TWiST leverages on Industry Standard technologies to deliver a level of robustness, flexibility, throughput and scalability unmatched anywhere.Add to this DALiM TWiST's unique functionality (database-driven workflows, web-based job tracking and administration, advanced automated trapping, etc) and DALiM TWiST clearly emerges as the most flexible Digital Front End to address business challenges in today's global commercial climate. Flexible Workflow Management With more than 150 standard workflow tools, DALiM TWiST permits precise configuration of the majority of standard workflow requirements quickly and easily. The workflow could be something very simple, such as automating file conversions (PostScript to PDF, for example) or applying ICC colour profiles; to very complex, specific workflow paradigms such as those required for complete magazine production. Linking one or more workflows together, with sophisticated branching and filter tools, allows the complete automation of very complex workflows by (for instance) event triggering, file naming or even from a database entry. Quality Assured Output p2, or Print Predictability, is perhaps the single most important aspect in the adoption an all-digital production workflow. To make any digital-only system a viable financial prospect, the user should be totally confident in the way data is presented to the output device. Any inconsistencies can result in wastage of materials, time and labour. p2 technology builds on Dalim software's expertise with some of the industry's largest users, and brings it to a new user level. With p2 technology the user is always assured of high-quality, print predictable output - regardless of how the data was initially presented. Dalim Software technology optimises the file, effectively "cleaning up" the data and removing erroneous information that may result in inconsistent or undesirable output. File Format Independence With DALiM TWiST, a wide variety of file formats can be utilised - even in the same workflow. Supporting more native and proprietary file formats than any other solution (CT/LW, PDF, TiFFIT/P1 etc). DALiM TWiST assures you of incorporating the latest technologies, yet still maintaining complete integration with legacy file formats. Industry-Leading Performance and Reliability DALiM TWiST's system architecture delivers a level of performance scalability and system throughput unmatched within the industry. DALiM TWiST permits system scaling - by CPU, server cluster or a combination of the two - to a level that satisfies even the most demanding application. CPU-intensive tasks, such as file repurposing or complex trapping, are dynamically load-balanced across CPUs and/or servers as required. This permits a DALiM TWiST system to handling periods of increased workload easily and automatically. For Mission-Critical applications, DALiM TWiST permits various Fault Tolerant or High Availability configurations, ensuring "24/7" availability and minimum system downtime. Control at Every Step Locally or Via the Web DALiM TWiST 's Workflow Manager organises and manages the work in progress either locally of remotely. The workflow administrator can intervene at any time by initiating or pausing workflows, viewing job status, validating jobs put on 'hold' or viewing job logs. DALiM TWiST 's Workflow Manager allows extensive production process monitoring either locally or remotely via a standard web browser. Last-Minute Changes for "Just-in-Time" Production DALiM TWiST comes complete with DALiM's LiTHO Page file viewer/editor, allowing last minute trapping corrections, text changes, etc. at any time prior to actual job output. This negates the necessity of re-submitting the job to DALiM TWiST, dramatically improving efficiency and reducing correction cycles. Database-Driven Workflows Another DALiM TWiST first... production workflow management and administration is taken to a new advanced level with DALiM TWiST's unique database-driven workflow option. Upon receiving a file, DALiM TWiST has the ability to poll any JDBC compliant database and trigger the appropriate workflow based on the information it finds. Furthermore, DALiM TWiST can even be directed to place information back into the database. Such functionality can be used, for instance, for seamless integration with MIS systems. |
