Chauncey 71410,1422 To: ALL Hello, just joined the forum. I will be working on a project for a client who wishes to employ WORM technology to store and retrieve documents...invoices, legal etc. 1,000's of documents generated and retrieved daily to support business functions. First step will be to research document types, format, rate of generation per etc. Next...requirements definition and request for proposal to vendors who manufacture scanners and workstations. Ultimately, wwish to integrate scanned documents and mainframe generated reports on WORM with a common access interface which will support keyword and full text retrieval searches. Probably wish to employ OCR as well as image scans. I'm just starting to research where the technology is today and what can be expected within six to twelve months. I look forward to reviewing correspondence among the members and would appreciate your input.

Our names are Clive Lansink and Mary Schnackenberg, and we live in New Zealand. Mary is a librarian and Clive is a computer manager. We notice a lot of emphasis on CD-ROM systems for IBM PCs. But are systems available for connecting to a main frame via a simple serial port? If there was, it would be possible for us to install such a device on our system, and anyone with a terminal could connect to it. How feasable does this sound? Any comments welcome.

We are working closely with three of our co-ventures in assessing their needs for such a system. You are right in your assessment of the difficulty in managing a CD-I project. We are doing our best right now just to test out some of the design assumptions which came from reading the Greenbook. The hardware availability and reliability keeps us from moving at the pace we need towards a higher level authoring system. Others (Optimage, Philips NV, and Thompson) are working on pieces of an authoring systems as well as AIM. It is AIM, however which has the subject matter and publishing clients, therefore I believe that all tools will gravitate here eventually. How is the translation going on the Designer's guide? The training of Mr. Ohno is going fine so I expect JIM will have good software help in the future. Everyone is working hard to make CD-I happen quickly.

CD-I can only succeed with the right software available at the launch date. AIM's mission is to see to it that general market consumer titles are available by the time commercial players are available. While the prospects for both the launch and the software being available within 2 years are good the market education must begin sooner (as soon as Philips knows exactly when software and players will be available). #: 958 S1/General Information 25-Jul-88 20:36:00 Sb: #940-Alphabet soup Fm: Drew Topel 75410,1541 To: Michael Murray 71616,214 (X) Yes, the contest for the home optical market will be interesting to watch the next few years. I-CVD may take the early market, but I imagine that their marketing will focus on the gaming aspect of the medium since it is a Mattel product. CD-I will take a different market then I-CVD or even DVI. Some of the titles will be games, but most will be in the Edu-tainment / Travel / Hobby categories. To find out more call AIM in LA. The price for a CD-I player will be lower than your early estimate ($1499-$1299), but will still not approach the Mattel price for a few years ($499). It also won't be available for consumers this year, Christmas '89 is when the press release is expected along with about 20-30 CD-I titles to go with it. #: 959 S3/CDROM Applications 25-Jul-88 21:42:36 Sb: #950-TITLE GADERING...

What are the current estimates for first generation players (price - wise)? I was under the impressing that the code for CD-RTOS had been frozen..how buggy is it?

Plans call for mastering around the end of August. How can we get a BMUG PD ROM? (cost, address, phone?) Also, could you discuss your indexing a bit. For example, how did you decide what needed to be indexed and what didn't? Is a search engine necessary? Why did you decide on HFS format instead of ISO 9660? We'd really find this info helpful.

We're getting ready to master a Mac CD-ROM of some educational applications (HyperCard based) and images, etc. We're planning an ISO 9660 format.

You'll need a video image capture board. If you ask around the IBMHW Forum, focusing on Section 3, Video, I'm sure you can get more help. Look for messages dealing with the Targa board; it seems to be one of the most popular image boards, and Picture Power works with it. You might also try the P.C.Mag Forums since they wrote up the hardware and software of this sort awhile ago, or the Pic Forum, which deals with graphic images (and maybe video images); or Microsearch which is a database of computer magazine abstracts searchable by product accessible through CompuServe. (Boy oh boy! CIS should pay me for this recommendation!). Good Luck, Mark #: 968 S1/General Information 26-Jul-88 13:44:53 Sb: #956-CDI / Hello Fm: Noboru Toyoshima 76662,330 To: Drew Topel 75410,1541 (X) Yes. Authoring system is the key to design a real interactive multimedia title, I think. Especially, in CD-I, designers cannot concentrate its creative part if he has to calculate the availabe data channels, etc. all the time. I have heard about Thomson's system. Also, I heard that Optimage is working on authoring system on Sun workstation(?). I hope these prototypes will come out very soon and I want to see CD-RTOS working successfully so that we really can produce titles for CD-I. --- Noboru Toyoshima #: 969 S1/General Information 26-Jul-88 14:57:03 Sb: #942-#New member Intro Fm: Berkeley MUG 70007,2271 To: Eric Azarcon 72571,2175 (X) Eric - 1.

Custom-designed HyperCard stack to index the material. Finder interface works bund all the folders are always closed when you leave the finder and quit back. Also message indexing, not implemented in version one of the PD ROM(tm). 3. Search engine may not be necessary - HyperCard's find is pretty good. 4.

Also, storing the analog signals from a camera can be done directly to a 12" disc, and later retrieved without a digitizing board for display, thereby saving considerable cost. Also, some of the analog boards can interface DIRECTLY with programs like db3 and Clipper, using a pre-set 'trigger' ASCII phrase embedded in your database, that is 'intercepted' whenever it is encountered to retrieve a specific picture from the disc. Let me know, EP if you wish, what kind of interest you have, as this type of system design is our speciality.

You say that your pictures "would be recorded w/a VCR camera". Do you have an image capture board of some kind? There are DBMS products that work with, for example, Truevision's TARGA board. Where would you store your images? Depending on what graphics adapter (e.g. EGA, Targa) you plan to use, and the number and sizes (full screen?) of the images you'd display, your hard disk space can disappear before you can say "CD-ROM". Speaking of CD-ROM, using CD-ROM or WORM drives would make it more practical to consider advanced graphics adapters like TARGA. That is.....if you need that kind of quality (and quantity!). As Lee Lammert suggested, you can go analog by recording your images on videodiscs. There they'll sit without taking up any computer storage. You won't need a digitizing board but you'll need a videodisc player and a second monitor. You'll also need a videodisc recorder ($10,000+) or pay someone else to make the videodiscs for you. I've recorded images on videodiscs and use dBASE III to command the player to display them once an appropriate database record is located. It sounds like you're in an experimental stage. Can you be more specific about what you want to do?

Can you give me a COMPUSERVE number that I can contact? Alternatively, can you give me some guidance on upgrade procedures? If these are too elaborate for a message, my address is Sondreveien 4, 0378 Oslo 3, Norway. $100 strikes me as a stiff price for an upgrade on a product which I bought for $189.
