Introduction to Photo Badging
The Photo Badging facility is available as standard software in all versions of the Topaz Series
system.
The server or workstation configured as an enrollment station requires special hardware as
described below. The verification station, which does not have the capability to take photos or print
badges, needs no special hardware for the display of photos or badges.
The Topaz Photo Badging Software gives you a full Badge Design package with multi-layer design
tools, a full editing package including copy, paste, automatic centering, and full drag and drop
capabilities. The design package also includes snap to grid facilities, automatically scalable fonts
with auto kerning, and landscaping badge templates, an extensive color palette with individual color
design facilities, and a full badge design check and test print capability.
It includes a sophisticated photo capture facility, providing vertical and horizontal photo centering
controls, brightness, contrast, color, intensity and hue controls for the photo image, and a multi frame
capture which allows you to chose the best image to be included on the badge.
The system allows you to enter text, signatures, and database information directly from the
cardholder database, and to print bitmaps, photos, and text based on conditions set for any of the
fields in the Cardholder record.
The Topaz Photo Badging software can be used with a range of industry standard dye sublimation
printers, like the Eltron P310-C direct connect printer. The software also supports double-sided
printing, automatic magnetic stripe encoding, and use of hologram overlays.
Once the required video hardware is available in the system, the software provides you with a
complete set of tools and facilities necessary to design and print photo ID badges and all other
functions outlined above.
For additional hardware requirements and options for each photo-badge enrollment station, see
System Requirements on page 3.
