Insight v.5.6 Released November 30, 2006
Insight isn't just about efficient image delivery or comprehensive end-use tools. Beginning with v5.6, Insight's Media Manager now supports both storage and retrieval of source images, allowing you to archive your master images to the Insight Media Server. Also new in Insight v5.6 is browser based support for an expanded list of media formats (including .pdf and .doc). Additionally, Insight v5.6 supports Power Point for Mac export, while the Magnifying tool has been added to the Image Workspace. The Insight Community continues to grow as we welcome these new clients: Tulane University; Photographic Preservation Society; University of Chicago; McWane Science Center. Pomona College, an existing client, is now a consortial host for Pitzer College, our newest Consortial client.
Rumsey Historical Maps are now in Google Earth. See 16 historical maps in the Featured Content layer of the Google Earth 3D Globe. The georeferenced maps wrap the virtual globe in their modern spaces, allowing explorations of both time and space. A stunning addition to the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection is a composite of 182 engraved maps from Cassini’s 1750 map of France. Available in Insight the image is 24 GB and illustrates the awesome power of Insight’s viewing capabilities. With support from the Insight Community, a VRA Core 4.0 template is now available for building collections with Insight Studio. Studio allows organizations to build templates from scratch, use preexisting templates, or import templates from other organizations.
