CCGallery is a HTML5 multimedia gallery. It is very simple to use and can be configured easily through a XML file. It acts as a template which displays all your images, audio files and video files in a sleek and attractive interface. You get to browse the items in Coverflow mode or in a Thumbnail grid mode. You can easily switch between the two display modes and can even filter the items by displaying only images, or audio files, or video files. CCGallery has been designed in such a way that it is extremely easy to browse through a large number of items and also with enough eye candy!

The key features are:

Display images, audio and video. Configure the gallery using a simple XML file. Two display modes – Coverflow and Thumbnail, with option to switch between the two. You can also choose which mode to load first. CSS 3D Transforms are used for the coverflow in supported browsers, which is hardware accelerated and thus resulting in smoother animations, which is especially noted in mobile devices such as iPad/iPhone. In unsupported browsers HTML5 Canvas is used. Plays audio and video natively in modern HTML5 browsers and switches over to Flash/Silverlight for older browsers by using Mediaelement.js. Can also embed Youtube and Vimeo videos. Filters items based on file type or based on custom categories, with a nice shuffling animation by using jQuery Quicksand plugin. You can also to choose to display a particular category on page load. Option to detect mobile devices so that these devices can be served low quality videos which are declared in an alternate XML file. The gallery features a fluid responsive design to account for various screens sizes ranging from mobile phones to desktop browsers and can also be placed in a container of any width. Options to autoplay and loop audio and video files. Various handy keyboard shortcuts for easier browsing of the gallery. Scroll coverflow images using touch swipe in touch screen devices. Can make the thumbnail images in both the Thumbnails and Coverflow modes act as links to external pages. Option to open links in new window/tab. Two colour schemes (dark and light) are available. Change the styling of the gallery according to your needs by tweaking the CSS.

NOTE: The Coverflow mode uses a two step fallback mechanism. It first uses CSS 3D Transforms, and if it is not supported then HTML5 Canvas is used, which is supported in Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+, Chrome 3.0+, Opera 9.5+ and IE9+. Older browsers that do not support Canvas will see a fallback animated effect for browsing files, so they still get to see a nicely working gallery.
