    ECW Overview

    When you compress your imagery into ECW format, the result is a much smaller single file that can be stored, sent, and displayed even on small devices. ECW technology provides exceptional compression, capable of reducing terabyte-sized files to five percent of their original size, while retaining the image’s full visual quality. For ultimate image delivery performance, ECW Protocol efficiently streams ECW and JPEG2000 imagery over networks.
