Clients:

Insight Browser & Java Client: Insight Browser and the Insight Java Client represent the core of Insight. They provide the end-user interface for searching, viewing, and managing Images, Audio, Video, and other Multimedia. The Clients provide unique tools to interact with visual content. The Insight Clients offer two environments for interacting with visual content: a "Group Workspace" and "Image/Media Workspace" facilitate simple, elegant interactions with an institution's media assets. The Group Workspace allows a user to interact with content in aggregate, to search, manage, and organize images and media, while the Image Workspace allows a user to view images at high resolution, perform comparisons of multiple images side-by-side, and interact with visual media.

Inscribe™ Data Editor: The Inscribe Data Editor is an end-user cataloging tool which has been designed to support all of an Institution's cataloging needs. The Inscribe Data Editor comes with built-in support for controlled vocabularies, date and numeric validation, and complex data relationships. Inscribe also supports an Institution's workflow requirements by facilitating the publishing and review processes.

Insight Studio: Insight Studio provides a collection administrator with the tools necessary to build and manage collections. Insight Studio is a wizard based tool supporting batch processing of media, batch import of metadata, user management, cataloging template creation and management, and other basic functions.

Insight Administrator Tools: The Insight Administrator Tools allow a collection administrator to dynamically manage collections. Components of the Insight Administrator Tools include, tools for batch media processing, user and resource management, data indexing, and configuring of the search and user interface.

JPEG2000 Wavelet Encoder: The Insight Administrator Tools and Insight Studio can optionally be paired with a JPEG2000 Wavelet Encoder. Wavelet encoded images increase speed and performance when accessing large images, reduce storage requirements, and optimize network usage on image delivery.

User Manager: The Insight User Manager functions as a single point of entry for all Insight Collection and Personal Insight Managers. It consolidates the functions of Authentication and Authorization for all shared resources within Insight. The User Manager can integrate within an existing security infrastructure if an institution already has a single sign-on solution in place. The User Manager also provides access to resources such as shared folders and groups.

Collection Manager: The Insight Collection Manager provides a common interface between client requests and the underlying data repository. Each Collection Manager may contain multiple Collections and Virtual Collections of consistent or heterogeneous structures. The Collection Manager also functions as a broker between the clients (the Insight Java Client, Inscribe Data Editor, and XML Gateway) and the underlying database, coordinating search requests, and data updates.

Personal Insight Manager: The Personal Insight Manager is a specialized version of the Collection Manager which supports the creation of Personal Collections with the Insight Java Client.

Media Manager: The Insight Media Manager is built around a basic JSP Server, and manages access to Insight's media content. The Media Manager supports direct upload of processed content and also manages access to the JPEG2000 wavelet images that power Insight's Image Workspace. Finally, the Media Manager supports an optional ticket based authentication system to ensure authorized access for Insight applications to images and multimedia.

XML Gateway: The XML Gateway provides a web-services based interface for searching and retrieving content stored within Insight collections. The XML Gateway is middleware which allows backend interaction between Insight and other XML aware applications.

Static OAI Repository: Insight has a utility to generate a static OAI repository for any or all Insight collections in accordance with OAI guidelines.
