ArticlesCreate Hypervideo


January 1997 / International Features / Lights, Camera, Action / Create Hypervideo

If you know what hypertext is, it's easy to understand how hypervideo works. Without interrupting a video, a hypervideo's hot spots can link you to other sources of pertinent information. To obtain more information regarding any object, actor, or background in a video, you just click on it; you're then linked to text, photos, sound, video, or other content-delivering applications.

Arts Video Infographique's (Poissy, France) MOVideo hypervideo application generator lets you link up to four different hot spots to each object without doing any programming. It offers a choice of 15 fade-in and fade-out effects; is directly usable on CD-ROM; and supports a la rge number of image, sound, and video formats.

MOVideo SDK is the package's tool for integrating video into a multimedia application. It provides DLLs for PCs and XObjects for the Mac and supports such compression codecs as Indeo, Cinepak, MPEG, and M-JPEG. In addition, hypervideo generated with MOVideo can integrate with many authoring environments, including those from Apple, Asymetrix, and Macromedia.

Jean Claude Stella of Arts Video Infographique comments that MOVideo is suited for presentation, education, and training applications alike. He also believes that hypervideo will have a major impact on interactive TV and interactive games, two areas that will grow rapidly.

MOVideo lets you make video as interactive as hypertext.
