Remote Director is a solution which you can comfortably rely on its patented technology to give you a color accurate proof at a distance miles away. It also comes with a comprehensive job management solutions which allows you create and share jobs with your own team or with your clients. Better still, it is not just managing files to share, it will allow you to communicate, collaborate and approve the job all at a distance remotely.
The Remote Director technology can be integrated into any third party application to enable high-resolution document collaboration with or without accurate color verification. Our developer portal provides complete access to the SDK, API references, release notes, sample code, and includes tutorials.
Viewer
The Viewer is a native browser plug-in providing the ability to open, pan, and zoom high-resolution images within a web browser page, with or without RD's patented color management technology. The viewer contains a compressive annotation and approval engine along with the patented spectral blending engine for viewing up to 24 colors. The floating window provides easy toggling in and out of full screen mode. Menus and tools can be hidden using a genie effect, providing full bezel-to-bezel view of the proofed document.
Calibrator
The Calibrator, also a native browser plug-in, embeds color calibration into web pages or web-based applications. The plug-in allows direct connection to the instrument and monitor, via the manufacturer's SDK. Using our patented L* gamma for calibration sets the LUT’s within the supported displays at their full bit depth. When used with the viewer, the calibration plug-in adds color verification and gamut warning directly in the viewer.
