Do I need to download software?

For end-users, you can view and download images using the Java Client. You do not need to download any software to view the images using a browser.

• Insight Browser & Java Client: Insight Browser and the Insight Java Client represent the core of Insight. They provide the end-user interface for searching, viewing, and managing Images, Audio, Video, and other Multimedia. The Clients provide unique tools to interact with visual content. The Insight Clients offer two environments for interacting with visual content: a "Group Workspace" and "Image/Media Workspace" facilitate simple, elegant interactions with an institution's media assets. The Group Workspace allows a user to interact with content in aggregate, to search, manage, and organize images and media, while the Image Workspace allows a user to view images at high resolution, perform comparisons of multiple images side-by-side, and interact with visual media.
