Instructions for creating JP2 files for online access

 

Batch Process

An automated batch conversion process is available off the digital project server. An overnight script will batch create JP2 files using kakadu (command line) software. Also, an EXIF script will transfer any technical metadata and copyright info that was originally embedded in the master tiff file to the JP2 file. For more information on JPEG 2000 file specifications and format policy please see JPEG2000 Profile  

 

WARNING:

Before converting TIFFs check exif data for the following:

 

 

Steps:

  1. Ensure master files (*.tif) have embedded copyright information
  2. COPY master files to conversion folder "JP2Convert"
  3. An overnight job will perform the batch conversion from Tiff to JP2 format
  4. MOVE subfolder of the newly created JP2 files to the appropriate digital project folder and then upload JP2 files to IR record per project guidelines

 

 

 

Single file creation

Note: Use this option when immediate file creation is needed. Otherwise, recommend using batch conversion process for convenience and to maintain consistency in overall file specifications.
