The Harlequin PLUS Host Renderer SDK, which is based on Global Graphics’ new RIP architecture, supports a rich, high-level configuration language for all of a client system's per-job, per-process and persistent configuration requirements. There is a close relationship between this configuration language and the C-APIs in the RIP and often a client system is written using both the configuration language and customer-written C components together. This rich set of APIs in the core RIP allows many aspects of its behavior to be tuned and extended as required, including:
Integrate and apply your own complete algorithms to maintain consistent use of your IP
Image filtering
Extend the rendering process by the addition of OEM code for specific manipulation of image data such as contrast adjustment, red eye removal, compression, etc. Allows an OEM to leverage some of their unique image handling IP within the RIP
Color management
Replace or compliment the sophisticated in-RIP color management engine with any ICC compliant CMS
Screening
Access Global Graphics’ range of powerful and tunable halftone technology or integrate an OEM’s own IP for specific requirements
Font interpretation and rendering
The RIP has support for an extensive range of industry standard font formats and also provides the vendor with the opportunity to replace either the in-RIP font renderer or interpreter, or both, with components of their choice
Low memory management
Control cache management, the optimization and compression of rendered band data and stored image data blocks for low memory situations
Configuration of rendered band storage and delivery
Define color channels, color depth and interleaving style, compression and job and page level formatting of the output stream as required for later processes.
