Our Piecewise-Constant Image Modeling technology (PWC) is ideal for delivering rich visual content to limited clients over narrow bandwidth channels. PWC delivers the best available compression of palettized graphics and does so with less CPU and memory overhead than GIF. Further, since PWC encode and decode are symmetric, PWC also is ideal for on the fly encoding of custom content.

Modern web browsers no longer support plugins. Therefore, the PWC Viewer will no longer download or function when using a modern browser. However, Internet Explorer 6, operating in a Windows XP virtual machine under linux, has been verified to function identically to a legacy environment. Additionally, IE must be configured to download unsigned ActiveX Controls via the Options/Security Tab, Custom Level dialog.
