Quick Image Service
What is it?
The Quick Image Service (QIS) is a unique service of xpb.cc ltd. for customers that need quick access to pictures of important events like crashes, finish/start, retirements, etc... With the Quick Image Service, xpb.cc ltd. offers access to low resolution images, send directly from the trackside by our photographers from anywhere around the world, depending on availability of the local network providers.
The images
The images of the Quick Image Service are low resolution, mostly around 800 pixels wide/high. They are saved with a relative high compression rate to speed up transmission speed and processing time. The file size of each image is around 60-90 Kbyte in JPG format. The high resolution images of the same pictures will appear somewhat later on the database.
Captions
To speed up the processing and transmission, the images of the Quick Image Service will not be captioned with a text describing what is visible on the picture. Instead they will have a generic caption text indicating that the image is a QIS image. Because the QIS offers images of only important events, the pictures are mostly self-describing. For editors needing a correct caption, the high resolution and fully captioned images of the same pictures will appear some what later on the database.
For who is it?
Access to the pictures of the Quick Image Service is only available on request and for an extra charge. Please email us for more information and the latest conditions for QIS.
EDITORS PLEASE NOTE: It is NOT allowed to use this image for mobile phones even not in content with text. Internet and print publications only.
