View Terabyte Images Almost Instantly

The following Technical Guides provide more details on how the TNT products exploit the multifile or tileset concept to provide almost instant access to a map or image independent of size and limited only by the maximum size of your storage device (e.g., terabytes). This unique raster functions as a single entity in all TNT display and analysis processes and can be built during import or in the mosaicking.

In this format an image of a terabyte in size can be viewed at any scale, extent, cell, size, and coordinate reference system in a fraction of a second from a hard drive or 1 to 4 seconds from DVD media. The uniform tile components of the single multifile raster object can also be irregular in shape such as DOQs or counties with only minor degradation of performance. Since the component rasters in uniform tile or the original files are in these common smaller file units, they still can be directly used in other software products.
