 | | WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., September 26, 2005 The International Imaging Industry Association (I3A), the leading global association for the imaging industry, today announced that the widely supported Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) for Digital Still Photography Devices, originally developed by I3A's IT10 Standards Committee, has been published as ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 15740.. |
 | | Before the advent of PTP, solutions for image transfer were based on proprietary software created by individual vendors, and devices from different manufacturers often could not communicate. |
 | | In addition to serving as the secretariat for the standards committees that developed PTP, I3A serves as the registration authority for PTP vendor extension IDs, such as those used by Microsoft's Media Transfer Protocol and Kodak's ImageLink Printing System protocol, as well as various camera company proprietary vendor extensions. |
