QPS® 7 includes several components that are easy to deploy and integrate into your existing IT environment. They plug-and-play with your current systems and preferred applications, flexibly adapting to your unique publishing requirements so you can work the way you want.
QPS Server
The Java™ based, platform independent, SQL database server is the heart of QPS — it acts as the automated workflow director, or traffic cop. The server manages all aspects of the creative workgroup, such as the publications, projects, files, versions, users, privileges, styles, workflows, and routing. Currently certified on Mac OS® X and Windows® 2003 Server.
QuarkXPress Server 7
QPS 7 includes a limited, locked down version of QuarkXPress Server® 7, Quark’s powerful core publishing technology, adding extensive new capabilities and core functionality to the system, such as Web-based text editing, export of content in a variety of formats — including PDF and XML, as well as full-size previews and thumbnails of QuarkXPress layouts and QuarkCopyDesk® files.
Note: Purchase a full license of QuarkXPress Server 7 to unleash its full power and capabilities, taking your production environment to whole new level of automation.
QPS Connect Client
A multi-functional, role-based client used by administrators, managers, creative professionals, and other internal or external content contributors and content consumers. This smart client functions across your LAN or over the Internet so you can access the system from anywhere in the world. And best of all, the QPS Connect Client works out-of-the-box with all applications that run on Mac OS X, Windows XP, and Windows Vista® Business and Ultimate.
QPS Web Editor Client
Lets users write, edit and copyfit text, receive and track assignments, search for files, and monitor their projects using a Web browser. There’s absolutely nothing to install — if you can access the internet, you can write and edit!
QPS Script Manager Client
Allows users to create and manage scripts, enabling server-side automation via JavaScript™ and Groovy scripting languages.
QuarkCopyDesk 7
A powerful text and picture editing application that delivers advanced editorial capabilities to QPS 7. In addition to providing precise copyfit information, access to style sheets, notes, and redlining, it allows users to load pictures and crop, scale, rotate, and flip them. Easy-to-handle tools allow adjusting of brightness and contrast as well as the application of filters like blur, mask, and despeckle. Various viewing modes — Full Screen, Galley, WYSIWYG and the new “Split Screen” feature — allow users to view multiple modes simultaneously.
Output Enhancements XTensions:
Client-side automated batch processing. Simplify the printing and export of QuarkXPress layouts and QuarkCopyDesk files individually or as a batch process to Printers and Imagesetters, Export to PDF, or Export to XML. Create, save and group Output Profiles for batch processing. Execute them manually or link them to statuses within your QPS workflow to enable complete unmanned output automation — eliminating costly errors and saving valuable time.
Complementary product (purchased separately): QuarkXPress 7
Used to design layouts managed by the QPS Server, QuarkXPress 7 seamlessly integrates with QPS, giving users direct access to the core functions of QPS from within QuarkXPress such as searching, assigning, monitoring, and tracking the status of page elements, projects, or publications throughout the production process. Together with QuarkCopyDesk, this powerful duo addresses even the most demanding editorial and creative workflows.
