Insight® Browser 5.0 and JVA Client 5.0 Comparison

Insight® JVA Client 5.0 is a fully developed version of Luna's software. Insight® Browser 5.0 is a web-based version of the Insight® Client that offers the same searching and viewing capabilities of the JVA Client but it does not have some of the advanced features.

One of the advantages of the Browser Client is that no software needs to be installed on your PC to use it, it works through your web browser.

Below you will find a list of advanced Insight® features that are either available on the JVA Client or the Browser but not both.
