FSI Showcase Add-on
High Resolution Image Galleries and Product Tours
NeptuneLabs FSI Showcase Add-on integrates a resizable scroll pane into FSI Viewer displaying automatically generated thumbnails of multiple high resolution images. Clicking a thumbnail displays the image in FSI Viewer offering the possibility to explore the image in all its details. This way hundreds of high resolution images can be easily presented to your web visitors using only a single viewer instance. As FSI Showcase Add-on automatically requests the required thumbnail images from single source imaging servers, authoring a showcase is nothing more than listing up the images you want to present with FSI Showcase.The image lists can either be manually defined or requested from a server. FSI Server has a built in support for image lists based on an image directory or a database query.
FSI Showcase can also be used to point out different sections of a single image by presenting these sections in the thumbnail bar. This allows creating interactive product tours or highlighting single objects in bundle images.

Flexibility

Additionally you can add multi-line text labels to thumbnails, specify hover and selected states and present predefined image sections in the thumbnails.Of course FSI Showcase has a built in support for virtual 3D presentations allowing the presentation of 2D and 3D images in a single Showcase instance. As FSI Showcase Add-on seamlessly integrates into FSI Viewer it can be combined with all FSI Skins and Plug-ins available for FSI Viewer.
Compatibility
Most innovative viewers on the internet require special browser plug-ins that the user is forced to download. This is why the penetration of most of these viewers is comparably low. FSI Viewer on the other hand is based on the most popular browser plug-in worldwide, the Adobe Flash. plug-in. In Europe, the US and Asia the penetration of the Flash plug-in exceeds 99% of all internet users (source: Adobe). The default setup of the most popular browsers already contains the Flash plug-in.Integrating FSI Showcase into web pages is as easy as integrating a standard Flash movie into a HTML page. This is why FSI Showcase is compatible to almost every content management system currently available. Additionally using databases and server-side scripts to manage huge amounts of images with FSI Showcase is very easy.

Scalability
FSI Showcase and Dynamic Imaging Servers are highly scalable. This allows using FSI Showcase with large amounts of images even in high load environments, like in an online shop with thousands of images.For high load environments we rocommend the new NeptuneLabs FSI Cache Application extends the scalability of Imaging Servers even more. For high load environments the new NeptuneLabs FSI Cache Application is recommended to improve server response times and enhance the overall website performance. As FSI Showcase loads image thumbnails and configuration files dynamically on demand, a single instance can easily display hundreds of high resolution images.
