Appendix — Still Store Loader
Introduction
The Still Store Loader utility program is used to upload and download
Zodiak Stillstore images to and from a PC on the network.
The Still Store Loader software application is designed to run on a net-
worked computer. Still Store Loader can take image files from any
mounted drive and transfer them to a Zodiak Stillstore (download) using
FTP. Still Store Loader can also receive still store images from a Zodiak
Stillstore (upload).
Besides uploading and downloading images, Still Store Loader can be used
to:
•
Reposition images,
•
Preview images at full size on the PC monitor,
•
Command the target device to generate a matte of a specified color to
fill any empty areas around the downloaded image, and
•
Save files to disk.
Still Store Loader works with the following file types:
•
.tif files,
•
24-bit and 32-bit .bmp files, and
•
Still video files created by the Still Store Loader application or a Zodiak
Stillstore.
Note
A Zodiak still video file actually has two components, a .gva metadata file and
a .gvi image file. The Still Store Loader application handles both files auto-
matically, but you will see additional files when directly viewing a Windows
directory of the files.
