- 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.

- 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.

- 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
