Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 enables this increase in productivity. The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 system supports the playback of digital audio files and the recording of audio signals into digital format. This facilitates the creation of online presentations, such as an image "slide show" with accompanying audio. Such presentations have many uses in industrial training, education, merchandising and business presentation environments. Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 also enables audio annotation in conventional productivity applications, such as spreadsheets and word processors. Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 recognizes a variety of  audio and image data types. The user can concentrate on the value of  the information itself, and not be concerned with the data type. This also increases the availability of different types and formats of information to the end user, which in turn increases productivity. The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 user interface conforms to the 1991 Common User Access (TM) architecture. A standard user interface allows users to control the data in a consistent manner. This includes, for example, playing and rewinding audio clips and adjusting and muting volume. Users can be more effective with every product that uses these interface functions, since the methods for controlling their data is consistent across the different products. Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 provides synchronization support by taking advantage of the multitasking capabilities in OS/2 (R) 2.0. For example, multiple audio streams can be played back simultaneously, and the system will keep them synchronized automatically. This is useful for playing background music with a  foreground voice-over or for mixing different audio tracks. Finally, the installation and online information of Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 makes each user's job easier. The graphical install program is designed to be a "one-button" process if the user so desires. However, if customization is required, the user can select components, which can save disk space and available memory at  run time. Context-sensitive helps are included throughout Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 to enable access to the most up-to-date product information.

The Media Control Interface activates Media Control Drivers that communicate with the multimedia device drivers. The Media Control Drivers tell the device drivers what to do with the multimedia data. Examples of      these Media Control Interface commands include open and close device, play, record, rewind, stop, pause, seek and query status. o  Waveform Audio Support Provides the Media Control Driver for playing and recording audio data. o  CD Digital Audio Support Provides the Media Control Driver for playing and controlling standard CD Digital Audio. The digital audio may be      played through a CD-ROM drive internal DAC and out of the CD-ROM earphone jack, or streamed to a compatible audio adapter. o  MIDI Sequencing and Synthesizer support Provides for Media Control of audio adapters that provide internal synthesizer support of MIDI data. o  Amp/Mixer Support Provides the Media Control of hardware supported mixing of      audio streams from two sources. An example of this function is      mixing a mono-wave track for background music and a foreground voice over narration. It also provides control over the audio adapter's settings, such as treble, bass, volume, balance and pitch. In addition, it can be used to vary volume or balance over time. o  Videodisc control Provides for Media Control of an analog videodisc. The Media Control Driver for the Pioneer LDV8000, 4400, and 4200 series will be included. o  Multimedia I/O Manager Provides the basis of the Multimedia I/O (MMIO) subsystem, which allows application independence from data object format. The native data format types were initially specified by the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF), by IBM/Microsoft. In      addition, MMIO offers support for installable data handlers. o  M-Audio Capture And Playback Adapter Device Driver (including DOS       Virtual Machine AudioDD (Audio VDD) Interface Support) This is the physical device driver for the M-ACPA. It      provides the AudioDD interface to OS/2 and DOS Virtual Machines programs, as well as the physical device driver interface for M-ACPA to the Audio and MIDI Media Control Drivers. NOTE: With the Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 Audio VDD and the Windows Multimedia Extensions installed as part of the WIN OS/2 environment, then Windows Multimedia applications and Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 applications can run in a      single OS/2 2.0 system. o  Control Applets -  MM Setup Allows the user to easily modify and fine tune his Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 configuration, associate file types with multimedia devices, and control the system close captioning flag. If an application uses audio narration, it can query the state of the system close captioning to decide whether close captioning is required. o  Media Player Applets These applets are used to play different kinds of audio, specifically digital audio files, MIDI files, and audio compact discs. Each player is installed automatically if the system configuration supports that type of audio. They can control any audio device which supports simple Media Control commands like play, stop, rewind, and seek. Digital audio can also be recorded through a microphone or      line-in jack. The recording format is 8-Bit PCM 22Khz mono, equivalent to FM Stereo. These digital audio files can be used by products that use audio. o  MM Installation This program installs the Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 diskettes and the Multimedia Presentation Manager Toolkit/2. It is a CUA (TM) application that minimizes the requirements for user interaction via the OS/2 workplace shell object oriented interface. It also provides the user with the capability of installing Media Control Drivers and hardware physical device drivers provided by other sources without having to re-install the entire system. The following multimedia functions are available only on the OS/2 multimedia offering. Many of these functions are feasible only due to the advantages of the OS/2 operating system base. The nature of OS/2, being a preemptive multitasking operating system, with multithreaded processing support, offers performance advantages to  the multimedia platform, where extremely high throughput rates are required and multiple multimedia data streams are being processed concurrently. In addition, the OS/2 multimedia product offers the programming advantage of the flat memory model, which alleviates the difficulties of managing segments for large programs and data object handling characteristic of multimedia applications. o  Synchronization/Streaming Programming Interface This provides the multimedia applications with control for synchronizing multimedia data streams (such as audio and video). It also provides the multimedia applications finer control of the flow of his data streams to the media devices. Since the Sync/Stream Manager uses the Fast Threads of OS/2 V2.0, applications can have real time control of multimedia devices, without impacting the system. The Sync/Stream Manager can also be multi-tasked. o  Control Applet -- Volume Control Allows a user to control audio output level on a system wide basis, or to completely mute the output. o  CD-ROM/XA interleaved data and compressed audio support This provides the Media Control Driver for splitting CD-ROM/XA interleaved data and compressed audio, and plays the audio stream through the audio adapter, while passing the data or      video stream to an application program. o  Extendable Data Object Format Support MMIO data handlers, either from Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 Release 1 or from an application provider, can be      installed into the system as an extension to MMIO. In addition to RIFF support, Release 1 will provide MMIO Handlers for the following data file formats: -  PCM, ADPCM Audio Files -  AVC Audio Files -  MIDI Format 0 and Format 1 -  OS/2 Bitmaps -  M-Motion Still Images -  AVC Images Data handlers can be written to support additional MMIO controls for data translations. With these controls, and the appropriate support in the data handler to perform the translation, an application can work with media data either in its native form, or in a media format native to          Multimedia Presentation Manager/2. o  Multimedia Data Converter Applet This Applet provides a user interface to the installed MMIO data handlers with translation support enabled, allowing a      user to convert his data files between the various data types for which support is installed. o  Standard Multimedia PM Controls Multimedia PM Controls, knobs (or circular sliders) and animated pushbuttons are made available to all applications. o  Publication:  Getting Started -- Introduces components of the Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 and assists with installation.
