| Viewpoint Launches New Release of Mac-Compatible VMP Viewpoint announces the launch of a new Mac release of the Viewpoint Media Player (VMP). This technology release delivers full feature parity across the PC and Mac platforms for the VMP, enabling the creation of 3D and Premium Rich Media content that works seamlessly across all major browsers and operating systems. The latest release of the VMP introduces many new features to the Macintosh platform such as SuperView, Viewpoint Experience Technology Script, VP7 Video and Texture Compositor. A key feature of this release, SuperView for Mac, enables the creation of interactive 3D content that can be viewed and controlled outside of the browser. This is the first step towards creation of Mac-compatible 3D widgets, which the company is also planning to bring to market. This technology release adds powerful scripting support to the Mac player. Viewpoint Experience Technology Script is a VMP scripting language that provides a more robust and dynamic way of programming 3D and 2D such as Flash and SVG content within the VMP platform. The Texture Compositor is another key update for Mac that simplifies the content creation process by leveraging dynamic textures that utilize less memory and decrease the file size of the downloads. Other notable additions include the inclusion of the VP7 codec that enables full screen video, provides alpha masking for compelling video effects, and offers a significant reduction in the file size that maximizes cost savings without compromising the superb video quality. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
