NeXGen® Capture

Carreker's NeXGen Capture provides Windows™ based functions that allow NCR 7780 and iTran 8000 sorters to operate in an IBM Cheque Processing Control System (CPCS) environment as if they were IBM 3890 Document Processors. NeXGen Capture is a fully functional replacement for Carreker's popular XP Low Speed Interface (XPLSI) product. It can also be used for offline capture of cheque data and images to support non-CPCS processing of cheques, and as the reject repair transport support for Carreker's MICRSuite CaptureCorrect reject repair offering.

Many cheque processing installations have found it advantageous to operate a mixture of IBM 3890/XP Document Processors for high-speed capture applications along with NCR 7780 and iTran 8000 sorters for lower speed and remote applications. NeXGen Capture allows these units to operate within a single cheque/image-processing environment utilising the industry standard IBM Cheque Processing Control System (CPCS) and Carreker 's Cheque Image Management System (CIMS) image repository.

NeXGen Capture allows a bank to optimise the transports they use at any given capture site, selecting a transport that is appropriate for the site's volume.  This application is also an excellent choice for reject repair image lift processing, as it allows bank to use an NCR 7780 or iTRAN 8000 to process reject items from 3890 operations.  NeXGen Capture is used in conjunction with Carreker's MICRSuite CaptureCorrect image-based keying application to provide a full function reject repair application.

OPERATION

Using NeXGen Capture, the CPCS system assumes that NCR 7780 and iTran 8000 sorters are IBM 3890/XPs. The program provides a 3890/XP compatible interface for an NCR Item Processing Workstation (IPW) into CPCS. This allows the NCR 7780 and iTran 8000 to be used for prime pass capture (MICR and OCR), subsequent pass, and power encode functions (including full-field encoding) through the NeXGen XP Control Program (XPCP). NeXGen Capture operates with the optional NeXGen Image Camera Attachment Program (ICAP) to provide image capture capability for the NCR sorters.

NeXGen Capture supports most existing Stacker Control Instruction (SCI) programs and XP native language programs that operate on the IBM 3890/XPs. The program supports standard NCR features as MICR and OCR read, endorse (front and rear), microfilm, encode, and pocket selection.

A primary benefit of the application is its support of all existing XPLSI functions on a Windows®, rather than IBM OS/2 platform. This change enables NeXGen Capture to run entirely on the NCR Controller PC, rather than requiring an additional OS/2-based PC for the NeXGen XPCP component.  IT also reduces the need for OS/2-trained support staff.

Major components include:

• NeXGen Capture Base (includes functions of the previous XPIP and XPUP components of XPLSI)
• NeXGen iTran feature (optional at an additional charge)
• NeXGen ICAP feature (for image capture)
• NeXGen XPCP feature (provides 3890/XP Control Program emulation)
• NeXGen XPPE feature (provides automated power encoding of amounts from BTM or other remote capture systems)
• NeXGen XPUP feature (provides hold and view capability used in reject repair applications)
• MicrSuite-CaptureCorrect™ (MSCC) Pre-Req Marketing Bundle (includes NeXGen Capture, NeXGen ICAP, NeXGen XPUP and Toolkit)

NEW FUNCTIONALITY

• NeXGen Capture eliminates the need for LU6.2 (SNA) and replaces it with TCP/IP communications.
• NeXGen XPCP feature supports 32-bit SPXServ functions that were introduced with the IBM 3890 model XPE.
• NeXGen Capture supports standalone non-CPCS processing.  It is bundled within Carreker's NeXGen Remittance application and is a planned component of our new Source Capture application.
• NeXGen XPCP introduces Subpass Reject Repair functionality that requires MSCC as a pre-requisite.

EXISTING XPLSI CUSTOMERS

Currently licenced users of any of the XPLSI V1R1 or V1R2 products (XPCP, XPIP, XPPE, ICAP, or the 7780 MicrSuite-CaptureCorrectx Pre-Req Marketing Bundle) who are currently on paid maintenance support may upgrade to the corresponding NeXGen Capture V2R1 product at no additional cost.
