From Iterated's web site iterated.com the corporate overview still mentions Altamira, now isn't that special :-( : "" Iterated made its early reputation as a provider of fractal image compression products, including its award winning Fractal Imager. Iterated's fractal compression libraries, based on the patented Fractal Transform algorithm, store and display fractal-compressed images in Microsoft's Encarta online encyclopedia, the Great Artists CD-ROM series, and dozens of other CD-ROM and screen saver titles. Iterated Systems developed its popular ClearFusion, ClearVideo, ClearVideo Live, and Fractal Viewer applications to meet the demand for high-quality, easy to download images and video on the Internet. By working with partners such as RealNetworks, THE ALTIMERA GROUP, and Microsoft, Iterated's video products work seamlessly within the standard applications and video formats in the industry. Because of Iterated's scientific roots, it takes a leadership position in the image science community.
