- - the Laser Disc Player Controller for the NeXT Computer
-
-
- (Stockholm, August 13, 1992) Xanthus International AB today announced
- LaserMan, its Laser Disc Player control application for the NeXT computer
- platform.
-
- Aimed at both commercial and in-house corporate multimedia developers,
- LaserMan is an application for controlling Laser Disc Players from the
- NeXT computer. LaserMan can control Laser Disc Players either directly
- through a remote control on the computer screen, or through messages from
- other applications via a Speaker/Listener interface.
-
- For example, LaserMan can be used in combination with Xanthus CraftMan -
- the multimedia programming tool from Xanthus - to produce complete Laser
- Disc based multimedia applications in a very short time.
-
- LaserMan can also be used to control other consumer electronics like tape
- recorders and VCRs, and can be configured to control any device with a
- RS-232 interface.
-
- Xanthus International, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, is a privately
- owned software development company that specializes in the NeXTSTEP
- platform. LaserMan is the second in a series of general-purpose
- productivity tools for NeXTSTEP. In May 1992 Xanthus started to ship its
- first product CraftMan, the multimedia programming tool for the NeXT
- computer. Xanthus International was founded in 1990.
