DESCRIPTION

IBM MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION MANAGER/2

USER PRODUCTIVITY: The key benefit of multimedia is an enhanced quality of information and communication. When audio and image are combined with text and graphics, customers can access richer forms of information, and communication becomes more effective. 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.

GROWTH ENABLEMENT: The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 architecture enables the system to easily accommodate new functions, support new devices and incorporate new data types and formats. This opens new opportunities, such as desktop video conferencing, video-based computer training, sophisticated graphics rendering, and a host of new devices and data types that accompany these technologies.

The install program is designed with this growth in mind. As customers acquire new hardware or would like to add new functions, they can do so without re-installing the entire system.

INVESTMENT PROTECTION: As the customers' needs grow, Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 works to protect investments. The open architecture for data standards support ensures that customer information assets retain their value regardless of format. Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 can also be the convergence platform for other IBM multimedia products, which protects the customers' current investments.

Investments related to compact disc are protected in several ways. CDs are an excellent vehicle for program distribution, large databases, audio, animation, and eventually, full motion video. Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 support includes CD-ROM, CD-DA, and CD-ROM/XA.

BUSINESS SOLUTIONS: Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 will be an important component of every customers business goals. Since multimedia increases the effectiveness of information and communication, Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 facilitates decision making within the enterprise. With standard user interface controls and productivity applets, users are more efficient and training costs are reduced. The open, extendable architecture of Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 enhances the integration of the customers' business systems.

SYSTEM MANAGEMENT: The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 installation makes system setup easier. The default, one-button approach optimizes the install process. The selective install optimizes disk space and available run-time memory.

Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 assists the user in system management by providing several small system applications called applets. The applets are described in the TECHNICAL INFORMATION section. The system applets provide a consistent method of changing device and system settings. The user simply opens Multimedia Setup notebook, selects the device and modifies the settings as necessary. This is also consistent with the methods used by OS/2 to modify settings.

IBM MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION MANAGER TOOLKIT/2

BUSINESS SOLUTIONS: The functions of Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 and the components of the Multimedia Presentation Manager Toolkit/2 help software developers achieve their business goals, namely to produce quality multimedia products with efficiency. The Media Control Interface and the Multimedia I/O functions of Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 make device and data independence part of every product. Code need not be written to accommodate every possible end user configuration, as this is handled by Multimedia Presentation Manager/2. By using Multimedia Presentation Manager/2, products can exploit the functions of today and adapt to those of tomorrow.

Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 also increases product performance through stream and synchronization support. Product developers are freed from managing multimedia data streams and keeping two, independent streams synchronized.

The sample programs provided with Multimedia Presentation Manager Toolkit/2 enable the product developer to concentrate more on product-specific function and less with exploitation of multimedia support with sample programs for every major function in the Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 system. Also, samples may be used freely within the product and adapted to suit the needs of the product.

USER PRODUCTIVITY: Product developers can increase productivity through Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 and the Multimedia Presentation Manager Toolkit/2. This starts with product installation by CD-ROM. Also, Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 APIs provide comprehensive multimedia device and data handling functions, and the Toolkit includes sample programs that use these APIs. As a result, less development time is needed to manage the multimedia aspect of the product. Also, online documentation means faster access to product details.

INVESTMENT PROTECTION AND GROWTH ENABLEMENT: Software developers' investments are protected by Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 and the Toolkit through support for a common programming interface and support for industry data standards. Developers can look to IBM to give consideration to extending APIs into new frontiers of multimedia. Also, the data handling architecture allows not only for new formats of existing data types (for example, new audio formats), but for entirely new multimedia data types as well (for example, video).
