TORONTO, Ontario, September 30, 2004 - CDP Communications, a Toronto-based software vendor celebrating its 20th year of operation, today announced its new high-speed print data stream comparison application, StreamDiff. In a fraction of the time that a manual approach would take, StreamDiff performs the tedious and labor-intensive task of comparing two data print streams.
STREAMdiff inspects the visual output of two data print streams to confirm that there are no differences, verify that known changes are acceptable and expose any additional unknown changes. By interrogating print stream structures, STREAMdiff pinpoints the exact location of items that have changed and creates a detailed list of specific changes. Print streams are visually compared side-by-side with font, image, and graphics changes easily identified by user-defined change marks. The cause of each difference is explained in detail and a drag and drop operation allows for easy acceptance of selected changes. An audit file keeps track of accepted changes.
"STREAMdiff offers precisely what the marketplace is in need of - a competitively priced, high speed, automated print stream comparison. With companies spending significant time and money developing print applications, there is a genuine need in the marketplace to quickly and easily compare print streams to determine if changes have occurred," said Rick Saarimaki, President and CEO of CDP Communications. “Since composition tools are constantly evolving, we detected a need for companies to maintain confidence in their print production when going from one version of their composition product to another. STREAMdiff revolutionizes the comparison of print stream data by quickly and easily identifying differences between print streams; allowing you to get your print jobs to production faster.”
STREAMdiff automatically and intuitively creates input data stream configuration files in one easy step. A Print Preview component lets you review data before and during comparison, and a Batch process lets you run multiple print data stream comparisons overnight.
