- HATBORO PA (September 15, 1991) Meyer Software of Hatboro, Pennsylvania today
- announced the release of On The Air™ Version 1.0, new ‘screen show’ software
- for the Macintosh. On The Air, which retails for $175, lets users quickly and
- easily create and play back disk-based presentations incorporating animation,
- still images, and sounds—created within the program, or imported from other
- Macintosh environments.
-
- One key to On The Air’s lightning-fast learning curve is ‘path-based
- animation,’ a follow-the-bouncing-ball approach that replaces tedious
- frame-by-frame scripting with a simple point and click. Animation speed,
- duration, rotation and transition effects are applied with ‘slider-bar’
- controls calibrated in seconds and percentages. Similar easy-to-use panels
- control objects’ appearance, disappearance, and ‘flip stack’ apparent motion.
-
- On The Air’s Playback control panel is equally easy to use. Presenters can
- output to a single screen—or to multiple screens, reserving a ‘control station’
- unseen to the audience if desired. Even the program’s Creation Environment
- holds no surprises for Macintosh users, with drawing tools virtually identical
- to many popular Draw programs. Files in PICT, PICS, and sounds in SND format
- can also be imported and manipulated.
-
- Interest in Version 1.0—and its soon to be released playback-only companion
- product, On The Road—is keen among advertising agencies, software developers,
- and other firms where disk-based new business presentations are a sure route to
- increased sales.
-
- On The Air and On The Road can be run on any Macintosh Series II computer
- running System 6.0.5 or later.
-
- The firm warmly welcomes dealer and distributor inquiries.
