Notes
Multi-Threading - enables the use of multiple, concurrent rasterizer threads. Ideal when the size of the output bitmap is quite large as multiple threads can work on different parts of the output bitmap.
Multi-Window - an optimized flow for extracting many small windows as fast as possible. Developed specifically for inspection machines that need many small clips at a high rate to match the images taken by the equipment's camera.
GreyScale - The ability to "super-sample" the geometries using a higher monochrome DPI; then use an array of pixels to create a lower resolution gray level pixel. Ideal for lithography systems that can modulate the power level on a pixel by pixel basis.
MULTI16 - a custom data flow enabling the user to add drill data to a grey-scale image.
Edge Rasterizer - a specialized rasterizer for ink-jets where the address grid is very small relative to the droplet diameter.
ATF - a custom bitmap format for a specific end customer.
Legacy - Artwork is no longer releasing new versions of 32 bit rasterizers. A few customers still use 32 bit in their systems but no new customers can order 32 bit programs.
