It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). community. Today, with ELT/2500 PC software, government agencies and commercial organizations can deploy low-cost, high performance Windows PCs forimagery applications, without sacrificing image processing capabilities," said Chuck Khuen, president and CEO of Paragon Imaging. "ELT/2500 PC software provides our customers with three `must-have' capabilities -- interoperability, portability and ease-of-use." ELT/Net Features ELT/Net is NITF 1.1 and 2.0 certified (CLEVEL CLEVEL Complexity Level (National Imagery Transmission Formats; MIL-STD-2500) 3), enabling image interoperability throughout government and commercial organizations. Agencies or departments with archives of NITF imagery -- or recently- received NITF images from remote locations -- can now quickly and cost effectively distribute them to others with ELT/Net. ELT/Net takes advantage of the following NITF features: -- Multiple images can be stored in one file. This increases productivity and reduces complexity. -- Image annotations are presented as non-destructive overlays, not harming the original image. -- All image information, including headers, text reports, and user-defined data such as audio and video are stored, transferred and presented in one file. This creates content-rich, multimedia presentations, analyses and reports. ELT/2500 PC Features ELT/2500 PC software is ideal for mobile, tactical, "in-field" applications. Because ELT/2500 PC software is NITF-certified (CLEVEL 3), users at remote locations can view images prepared by analysts at national and command levels. Users can also capture imagery in the field, using a Windows laptop computer and a standard hand-held digital camera. In addition, live audio and video can be taken and loaded into ELT/2500 PC along with documents and other datasets. Built-in communications support (both TACO2 and X/Y/Z/Kermit modem protocols) then allows remote users to easily send imagery and associated data to analysts and decision makers. ELT/2500 PC provides all essential features for general-purpose viewing and annotation of imagery. Some of the image display features are paste, zoom and pan and apply detail enhancement filter. ELT/2500 PC enables the user to annotate annotate - annotation the current image, layering any changes in non-destructive overlays, preventing any damage to the original image. Also, the images can be augmented with text, audio and video. These additions can be included with the image, extending the file to one multimedia bundle.

This map can then be integrated into other image windows. In order to catalog NITF-certified images, ELT/2500 PC has an NITF database feature, enabling users to file image data into a Microsoft Access A database program for Windows, available separately or included in the Microsoft Office suite. Access is programmable using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Access can read Paradox, dBASE and Btrieve files, and using ODBC, Microsoft SQL Server, SYBASE SQL Server and Oracle data. database.
