Determines the method that Content Manager OnDemand uses to compress the input
data.
- LZW12
- The data is compressed by using a 12-bit LZW algorithm.
- LZW16
- The data is compressed by using a 16-bit LZW algorithm.
- OD77
- The data is compressed by using an LZ77 algorithm. This is the
default and recommended compression method for most types of input
data. (The exceptions are listed under Disable.) Content Manager OnDemand compresses the input data
before loading it into the system. When a user selects a document
for viewing, Content Manager OnDemand sends
the compressed data over the network and decompresses the document
on the client.
- OD77Lite
- OD77Lite can be used to reduce the amount of processing cycles
needed to decompress the object. The compression ratio is not as good
as OD77. You need to decide which expense to reduce when making the
decision about an application's compression type. If processing cycles
are expensive and the data compression ratio is not a concern, use
OD77Lite. If storage is expensive and you can afford the processing
cycles or objects are small, use OD77.
- OD77HW
- If OD77HW is selected, an attempt will be made to use hardware
compression. If hardware compression is not available, OD77 will
be used instead.
- OD77LiteHW
- If OD77LiteHW is selected, an attempt will be made to use hardware
compression. If hardware compression is not available, OD77Lite will
be used instead.
- Disable
- Content Manager OnDemand does not compress
the input data. Choose this option when the input data is already
compressed, such as a compressed TIFF. The documents are uncompressed
by the appropriate viewer on the client, for example, Acrobat Reader.
- None
- Content Manager OnDemand does not compress
the input data when loading it into the system. When the user selects
a document for viewing, Content Manager OnDemand compresses
the document before transmitting it over the network and decompresses
the document on the client.
