About MediaRich Merchandizer

With MediaRich Merchandizer you can add custom zoom, pan, and scaling functionality to your website quickly and easily -- all from a simple web interface. The appeal of this application lies in its out of the box tools, HTML templates, Flash templates, dynamic in-page and multi-page Flash viewers and images to help create everything required for zoom and pan functionality on a commerce, photo or other website or intranet/extranet application in the shortest amount of time possible.

MediaRich Merchandizer provides a set of predefined templates that allow a web developer to add zoom/pan and image resizing to their website. Merchandizer can now present virtually any image or document type on-the-fly and with the full MediaRich CORE with Audio/Video support can Zoom and Pan and thumbnail videos now! Refer to the MediaRich Merchandizer documentation to see a list of image formats supported.

For the zoom templates, client side JavaScript is used to capture the x and y coordinates of the user's mouse. Merchandizer passes the zoom parameters to a built-in zoom function. This zoom function performs a crop and scale on the original image on-demand. Because both operations are being handled with the one function, this is considerably faster than performing the operations separately. The ability to do this without having to pre-process any imagery is a key advantage of our proprietary and patented technology.
