LizardTech’s MrSID Generation 3 Image Compression Format Now Supported in ESRI’s ArcPad 7

Posted by Sachin Garg on 19th December 2005 | Permanent Link

Press Release: LizardTech, a division of Celartem, Inc., a provider of software solutions for managing and distributing digital content, announced the company’s MrSID Generation 3 image compression format (MG3) is supported in ESRI’s ArcPad 7, making it even easier to view high quality geospatial raster imagery on handheld devices.

“Customers who store their imagery on their local network and use it in the field will benefit significantly from the integration of MG3 with ArcPad,” said Jon Skiffington, product manager at LizardTech. “In the past, customers had their imagery stored in MG3’s lossless format for easy manipulation later, but in order to use the imagery in ArcPad, the imagery would have to be converted to MG2’s lossy format. Now these users will be able to use MG3 imagery out in the field without spending valuable time converting back to older lossy formats.”
