(Multi-Media CD-I Authoring)
Daikin Industries, Ltd., is the world leading supplier of a complete range of authoring and premastering tools for DVDVideo and DVD-ROM software production. Daikin's U.S. Comtec Laboratories embeds Objectivity/DB in its SCENARIST™ software authoring system. Scenarist, which allows users to develop titles which are fully-compliant with the DVD-Video specification, is used by over 350 facilities worldwide including Sony Corporation and other multimedia service bureaus, game vendors, post-production companies for television programming and movie production. The Scenarist software enables customers to rapidly bring to market reliable DVD titles compatible with any available DVD player.
Distributed Architecture: Objectivity's distributed architecture provides Daikin customers performance and scalability in a distributed environment where the Scenarist user must complete multiple DVD projects simultaneously in a highly productive, distributed environment.
Platform Heterogeneity: Scenarist is available on both the SGI and NT platforms. Because Objectivity/DB runs heterogeneously on more than 16 hardware platforms, Objectivity allows Daikin to meet the demands of the high-end Scenarist customers running large volumes of complex data on both the NT and SGI platforms.
Object Database Transparency: Software authors using Scenarist share assets with Daikin's Multimedia component server environment called Comtec Future Studio which is connected with computer graphics, digital video, audio stations, MPEG decompression/compression mechanism, all of which are then connected to a CD printer or, via gateway, to a remote studio. The embedded Objectivity/DB provides cross-platform object-oriented database capabilities seamlessly _ without any obstruction to the multimedia and printing requirements (both local and remote) of Scenarist. In fact, Objectivity/DB significantly increases performance and seamless workflow productivity.
