INTERESTING THINGS - New Products & Developments
This issue let's take a look at interesting new products we've developed
or are in the process of developing. Like you, it's something
we love doing, and find it helps keep us fresh and creative.
VIDEO LIBRARIES
Increasingly our customers are asking for all their training,
safety or marketing videos to be put on a single cd-rom.
With multimedia cd-rom it works like this:
Your user puts the cd into their drive and a menu appears listing
all the videos available, each with a brief description and a
couple of still images to illustrate. The user clicks to play,
and the video appears.
As a delivery solution, it couldn't be easier.
The whole package is stylishly corporate badged and looks wholly
professional.
You can publicise the availability of your video library cd
via your company magazine, newsletter or increasingly, via your
intranet.
To obtain a copy, interested users simply email you with a request.
So don't you think it makes more sense to have all your videos
in one attractive, easily accessible and easily distributable
place?

INTERACTIVE DVD
In our studio, we've been able to create DVD video for a while
now, but it's only recently that DVD players have come down so
low in price, eg, £69.95 in Asda for a hardware player,
or $25 for a software player utility that'll play DVD on your
PC if you haven't already got one.
While this doesn't mean DVD is any more accessible across a
corporate network than it was yesterday, it does mean that if
you have a special application such as a particular training
requirement or a crucial customer presentation, you could be
using DVD right now, with all the impact and cachet this represents.
To meet this challenge, the next step for us at Rossiter & Co
is DVD authoring.
This means developing DVDs that have all the functionality of
the traditional interactive cd-rom, but with the added bonus
of DVD quality and impact.
A simple application could be to put all your existing video
together into a single DVD library, as in the multimedia library
application above.
Taking it further you could develop an interactive training
or customer presentation application, again similar to what you
currently see on cd-rom, but with all the wow-factor of DVD picture
and sound.
Because this is a new area for all of us, we're offering it
at specially reduced prices for the first three customers who'd
like us to develop an application for them.
So if you have something DVD-wise in mind, then right now it'll
pay you to give us a call and ask for a special deal. We'll certainly
make it worth your while to do so.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
You probably already know that our Studio is pretty amazing,
but nonetheless you can expect big changes over the next few
months. We've got this yearning to upgrade our Studio software
and hardware into a digital flagship, something that will outperform
everything in its class, and offer undreamt-of facilities.
Upscaling the Studio is something we've been doing since time
immemorial, but this time we're planning something really special
for you.
And it seems you like what we do, as each year our turnover
has improved.
I've probably said enough for now, but watch this space. Things
are going to get even better.
