The FireViewer Suite offers a complete solution to the problem of graphic and video distribution amongst scompany employees, providing a PC-based converter and a viewer for the Palm OS.

FireConverter, the conversion tool, enables hypertext, image and video files to be formatted in a suitable manner for viewing on Palm OS devices. With a simple interface, file conversion is a doddle, involving little more than selecting a file and pressing 'convert'.

Converted files are transferred to Palm devices during the usual HotSync process.

The included FireViewer application can be installed on Palm devices, allowing converted images/video to be viewed. Once files are ported to a Palm device, they can be viewed with ease. Images larger than the screen can be moved around in order to view all the parts.

Formats supported include BMP, GIF, JPG, TIF for images, and AVI and MOV for video.

Take a look at the FirePublisher Enterprise Server to allow your intranet to be viewed on Palm OS devices.

Note: The included FireViewer application is freeware, and can therefore be distributed freely.
