MPA - MPEG-4 Presentation Application

Objectives

Existing slide show systems have disadvantages like proprietary file formats, incompatibility among each other, low flexibility regarding to the presenting terminal, and no control over the content during the authoring process.

IAVAS MPA is based on MPEG-4 technology and thus it eliminates these problems. It is a platform independent slide show system that produces two-dimensional MPEG-4 scenes which can be shown on every MPEG-4 Systems compliant player.

Current Features

  • 100% ISO/IEC 14496 standard compliant
  • XML high level authoring language called XMT-MPA (based on XMT-O)
  • full control over the content during authoring process
  • basic slide show object types
  • extendable to more advanced slide show object types
  • slide master functionality
  • mp4 file output

Upcoming Features

  • WYSIWYG Authoring tool
  • collaborative authoring
  • conversion to printable formats
  • slide show streaming
