Creating Digital Media Content
Capture data from numerous analog and digital input sources including:
The Capture tool lets you save live video input, audio, and images to your system disk and import them into any of the digital media applications. Variable compression codecs, rates, and sizes are available when creating movies.
CDman and DATman are easy-to-use utilities for controlling the CD-ROM drive and digital audio tape drive. CDman allows direct-to-disk digital recording through the SCSI port. DATman plays and records digital audio tapes on the 4mm digital audio tape drive. The tapes are compatible with those used in commercial DAT recorders.
Once your data is captured, polish it for presentation with a suite of editing tools.
Audio Editing Made Easy
A comprehensive set of audio tools lets you enhance your Web creation with
sound. SoundEditor features two-channel recording and editing of sources. SoundEditor also enables mixing of tracks, editing, overdubbing, and effects processing. Standard AIFF files created on Macintosh® systems or Microsoft Wave files created on the PC can be mixed or trimmed to be accurate to within 1/1000 of a second.
For easy conversion of sound files, SoundFiler enables format and sample rate conversion of industry-standard file formats, including:
Video Tools Make You the Director
MovieMaster(TM) is a comprehensive program designed to facilitate the creation of MPEG-I and Cinepak movie files. MovieMaster enables conversion of Silicon Graphics® or QuickTime(TM) movies, audio files, or sequences of images into MPEG-1 audio, video, or a systems or Cinepak movie. For
additional functionality, complete MPEG-1 or Cinepak movies can be extracted into separate audio and image sequences for later processing. Simple movie creation involves dragging and dropping the image and audio files onto the application drop pocket and then selecting the quality level. For more sophisticated users, MovieMaster includes an important component in the creation of MPEG and Cinepak bitstreams-the ability to preprocess image sequences before encoding.
MovieMaker is a tool for editing Silicon Graphics and QuickTime movie files. Features include inserting an audio track with a sequence of images or digitized movies, and cut, copy, and paste of audio and images. MovieMaker supports a number of codecs:
