DESCRIPTION
IBM MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION MANAGER/2
USER PRODUCTIVITY: The key benefit of multimedia is an enhanced
quality of information and communication. When audio and image are
combined with text and graphics, customers can access richer forms of
information, and communication becomes more effective. Multimedia
Presentation Manager/2 enables this increase in productivity.
The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 system supports the
playback of digital audio files and the recording of audio signals
into digital format. This facilitates the creation of online
presentations, such as an image "slide show" with accompanying audio.
Such presentations have many uses in industrial training, education,
merchandising and business presentation environments. Multimedia
Presentation Manager/2 also enables audio annotation in conventional
productivity applications, such as spreadsheets and word processors.
Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 recognizes a variety of
audio and image data types. The user can concentrate on the value of
the information itself, and not be concerned with the data type.
This also increases the availability of different types and formats
of information to the end user, which in turn increases productivity.
The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 user interface conforms
to the 1991 Common User Access (TM) architecture. A standard user
interface allows users to control the data in a consistent manner.
This includes, for example, playing and rewinding audio clips and
adjusting and muting volume. Users can be more effective with every
product that uses these interface functions, since the methods for
controlling their data is consistent across the different products.
Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 provides synchronization
support by taking advantage of the multitasking capabilities in OS/2
(R) 2.0. For example, multiple audio streams can be played back
simultaneously, and the system will keep them synchronized
automatically. This is useful for playing background music with a
foreground voice-over or for mixing different audio tracks.
Finally, the installation and online information of Multimedia
Presentation Manager/2 makes each user's job easier. The graphical
install program is designed to be a "one-button" process if the user
so desires. However, if customization is required, the user can
select components, which can save disk space and available memory at
run time. Context-sensitive helps are included throughout Multimedia
Presentation Manager/2 to enable access to the most up-to-date
product information.
(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
(R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines
Corporation.
GROWTH ENABLEMENT: The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2
architecture enables the system to easily accommodate new functions,
support new devices and incorporate new data types and formats. This
opens new opportunities, such as desktop video conferencing,
video-based computer training, sophisticated graphics rendering, and
a host of new devices and data types that accompany these
technologies.
The install program is designed with this growth in mind. As
customers acquire new hardware or would like to add new functions,
they can do so without re-installing the entire system.
INVESTMENT PROTECTION: As the customers' needs grow, Multimedia
Presentation Manager/2 works to protect investments. The open
architecture for data standards support ensures that customer
information assets retain their value regardless of format.
Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 can also be the convergence
platform for other IBM multimedia products, which protects the
customers' current investments.
Investments related to compact disc are protected in several
ways. CDs are an excellent vehicle for program distribution, large
databases, audio, animation, and eventually, full motion video.
Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 support includes CD-ROM, CD-DA, and
CD-ROM/XA.
BUSINESS SOLUTIONS: Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 will be an
important component of every customers business goals. Since
multimedia increases the effectiveness of information and
communication, Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 facilitates decision
making within the enterprise. With standard user interface controls
and productivity applets, users are more efficient and training costs
are reduced. The open, extendable architecture of Multimedia
Presentation Manager/2 enhances the integration of the customers'
business systems.
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT: The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2
installation makes system setup easier. The default, one-button
approach optimizes the install process. The selective install
optimizes disk space and available run-time memory.
Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 assists the user in system
management by providing several small system applications called
applets. The applets are described in the TECHNICAL INFORMATION
section. The system applets provide a consistent method of changing
device and system settings. The user simply opens Multimedia Setup
notebook, selects the device and modifies the settings as necessary.
This is also consistent with the methods used by OS/2 to modify
settings.
IBM MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION MANAGER TOOLKIT/2
BUSINESS SOLUTIONS: The functions of Multimedia Presentation
Manager/2 and the components of the Multimedia Presentation Manager
Toolkit/2 help software developers achieve their business goals,
namely to produce quality multimedia products with efficiency.
The Media Control Interface and the Multimedia I/O functions
of Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 make device and data
independence part of every product. Code need not be written to
accommodate every possible end user configuration, as this is handled
by Multimedia Presentation Manager/2. By using Multimedia
Presentation Manager/2, products can exploit the functions of today
and adapt to those of tomorrow.
Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 also increases product
performance through stream and synchronization support. Product
developers are freed from managing multimedia data streams and
keeping two, independent streams synchronized.
The sample programs provided with Multimedia Presentation
Manager Toolkit/2 enable the product developer to concentrate more on
product-specific function and less with exploitation of multimedia
support with sample programs for every major function in the
Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 system. Also, samples may be used
freely within the product and adapted to suit the needs of the
product.
USER PRODUCTIVITY: Product developers can increase productivity

through Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 and the Multimedia
Presentation Manager Toolkit/2. This starts with product
installation by CD-ROM. Also, Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 APIs
provide comprehensive multimedia device and data handling functions,
and the Toolkit includes sample programs that use these APIs. As a
result, less development time is needed to manage the multimedia
aspect of the product. Also, online documentation means faster
access to product details.
INVESTMENT PROTECTION AND GROWTH ENABLEMENT: Software developers'
investments are protected by Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 and
the Toolkit through support for a common programming interface and
support for industry data standards. Developers can look to IBM to
give consideration to extending APIs into new frontiers of
multimedia. Also, the data handling architecture allows not only for
new formats of existing data types (for example, new audio formats),
but for entirely new multimedia data types as well (for example,
video).

IBM MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION MANAGER/2: The following functions are
available in Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 and are comparable to
functions in multimedia products already in the marketplace.
o Media Control Interface Support
The Media Control Interface provides a consistent device
independent API between different Media devices, as initially
specified by IBM/Microsoft. The Media Control Interface
activates Media Control Drivers that communicate with the
multimedia device drivers. The Media Control Drivers tell the
device drivers what to do with the multimedia data. Examples of
these Media Control Interface commands include open and close
device, play, record, rewind, stop, pause, seek and query status.
o Waveform Audio Support
Provides the Media Control Driver for playing and
recording audio data.
o CD Digital Audio Support
Provides the Media Control Driver for playing and
controlling standard CD Digital Audio. The digital audio may be
played through a CD-ROM drive internal DAC and out of the CD-ROM
earphone jack, or streamed to a compatible audio adapter.
o MIDI Sequencing and Synthesizer support
Provides for Media Control of audio adapters that provide
internal synthesizer support of MIDI data.
o Amp/Mixer Support
Provides the Media Control of hardware supported mixing of
audio streams from two sources. An example of this function is
mixing a mono-wave track for background music and a foreground
voice over narration. It also provides control over the audio
adapter's settings, such as treble, bass, volume, balance and
pitch. In addition, it can be used to vary volume or balance
over time.
o Videodisc control
Provides for Media Control of an analog videodisc. The
Media Control Driver for the Pioneer LDV8000, 4400, and 4200
series will be included.
o Multimedia I/O Manager
Provides the basis of the Multimedia I/O (MMIO) subsystem,
which allows application independence from data object format.
The native data format types were initially specified by the
Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF), by IBM/Microsoft. In
addition, MMIO offers support for installable data handlers.
o M-Audio Capture And Playback Adapter Device Driver (including DOS
Virtual Machine AudioDD (Audio VDD) Interface Support)
This is the physical device driver for the M-ACPA. It
provides the AudioDD interface to OS/2 and DOS Virtual Machines
programs, as well as the physical device driver interface for
M-ACPA to the Audio and MIDI Media Control Drivers.
NOTE: With the Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 Audio VDD and
the Windows Multimedia Extensions installed as part of the WIN
OS/2 environment, then Windows Multimedia applications and
Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 applications can run in a
single OS/2 2.0 system.
o Control Applets
- MM Setup
Allows the user to easily modify and fine tune his
Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 configuration, associate
file types with multimedia devices, and control the system
close captioning flag. If an application uses audio
narration, it can query the state of the system close
captioning to decide whether close captioning is required.
o Media Player Applets
These applets are used to play different kinds of audio,
specifically digital audio files, MIDI files, and audio compact
discs. Each player is installed automatically if the system
configuration supports that type of audio. They can control any
audio device which supports simple Media Control commands like
play, stop, rewind, and seek.
Digital audio can also be recorded through a microphone or
line-in jack. The recording format is 8-Bit PCM 22Khz mono,
equivalent to FM Stereo. These digital audio files can be used
by products that use audio.
o MM Installation
This program installs the Multimedia Presentation
Manager/2 diskettes and the Multimedia Presentation Manager
Toolkit/2. It is a CUA (TM) application that minimizes the
requirements for user interaction via the OS/2 workplace shell
object oriented interface. It also provides the user with the
capability of installing Media Control Drivers and hardware
physical device drivers provided by other sources without having
to re-install the entire system.
The following multimedia functions are available only on the
OS/2 multimedia offering. Many of these functions are feasible only
due to the advantages of the OS/2 operating system base. The nature
of OS/2, being a preemptive multitasking operating system, with
multithreaded processing support, offers performance advantages to
the multimedia platform, where extremely high throughput rates are
required and multiple multimedia data streams are being processed
concurrently. In addition, the OS/2 multimedia product offers the
programming advantage of the flat memory model, which alleviates the
difficulties of managing segments for large programs and data object
handling characteristic of multimedia applications.
o Synchronization/Streaming Programming Interface
This provides the multimedia applications with control for
synchronizing multimedia data streams (such as audio and video).
It also provides the multimedia applications finer control of the
flow of his data streams to the media devices. Since the
Sync/Stream Manager uses the Fast Threads of OS/2 V2.0,
applications can have real time control of multimedia devices,
without impacting the system. The Sync/Stream Manager can also
be multi-tasked.
o Control Applet -- Volume Control
Allows a user to control audio output level on a system
wide basis, or to completely mute the output.
o CD-ROM/XA interleaved data and compressed audio support
This provides the Media Control Driver for splitting
CD-ROM/XA interleaved data and compressed audio, and plays the
audio stream through the audio adapter, while passing the data or
video stream to an application program.
o Extendable Data Object Format Support
MMIO data handlers, either from Multimedia Presentation
Manager/2 Release 1 or from an application provider, can be
installed into the system as an extension to MMIO. In addition
to RIFF support, Release 1 will provide MMIO Handlers for the
following data file formats:
- PCM, ADPCM Audio Files
- AVC Audio Files
- MIDI Format 0 and Format 1
- OS/2 Bitmaps
- M-Motion Still Images
- AVC Images
Data handlers can be written to support additional
MMIO controls for data translations. With these controls,
and the appropriate support in the data handler to perform
the translation, an application can work with media data
either in its native form, or in a media format native to
Multimedia Presentation Manager/2.
o Multimedia Data Converter Applet
This Applet provides a user interface to the installed
MMIO data handlers with translation support enabled, allowing a
user to convert his data files between the various data types for
which support is installed.
o Standard Multimedia PM Controls
Multimedia PM Controls, knobs (or circular sliders) and
animated pushbuttons are made available to all applications.
