Designing For Plasma And Other Video Displays.
Thanks to Scala's ability to map pixel-per-pixel to cutting edge plasma screens, designers can design well. In this environment, you can tap into a wealth of experienced graphic designers and Adobe PhotoShop artists to produce TV-Commercial-like content for dynamic signage -- instead of relying on costly and time consuming video production. Simply introduce your artists to the concepts of timing and screen transitions!
Authoring For Reliable Plasma Playback.
Multimedia presentations play back on large screen plasma displays exactly as they were designed. There is no chance of averaging or sampling artifacts -- because Scala maps pixel-per-pixel to the plasma displays! What you design is what you get. Transitions are even reliable when you base your authoring "preview" equipment on the same specifications as your playback equipment. And timely custom messaging can be inserted without creating a bottleneck for your creative staff.
What You See is What You Get (WYSIWYG) Text Entry and Editing.
When you author for broadcast television or narrowcast networks, pixel-perfect design is important. Scala's award-winning WYSIWYG authoring environment is perfect for graphic artists and turns static imagery into dynamic multimedia content.
TWAIN Import and Real-Time Image Processing.
Scala's products greatly reduce training and production costs by making the user's job easier whether it's real-time creative design or in-line message editing. Scan images or import directly from digital cameras. Then scale, crop, edit opacity, and do image processing all without leaving the InfoChannel interface -- even to video.
Multimedia Authoring For Everyone Via Template Entry.
Advanced users can take advantage of real-time interaction and preview of multimedia elements, while normal users can benefit from a simple template interface. This allows delegation of messaging responsibilities, freeing the creative staff for creative work. The ability to delegate messaging responsibility is essential in running large-scale multimedia networks.
