Evolutionary Presentation Tool Enables Seamless Integration Of Full Screen, Full Motion Interactive DVD-Video With Microsoft PowerPoint
One product which will have a major impact on presentations using DVD is ZUMA Digital's ActiveDVD. It is the only software plug-in for Microsoft PowerPoint that allows for the seamless integration of full screen, full motion, interactive DVD video on Macintosh or Windows computers.. ""The Best New Software award from IDMA and DVDA is further testament to the impact ActiveDVD will have on business,"" said Blaine Graboyes, ZUMA Digital COO and Creative Director. ActiveDVD provides a dramatic, new element to business presentations, and is ideal for advertising and sales presentations, corporate meetings, analyst and investor meetings and employee or other internal presentations. ""ActiveDVD will change the way business does business,"" said Graboyes. ""Adding the dimension of Hollywood-quality video to PowerPoint presentations creates a powerful new way to position brands, communicate key selling points and close deals. Sales pitches, stockholder and investor presentations, and company meetings will never be the same."" Used in conjunction with a DVD-equipped computer and DVD program disc, ActiveDVD is a simple, intuitive plug-in for PowerPoint. Any presenter can easily create, update or change a video-enhanced presentation by using a single interface to change the DVD clip being accessed. This allows presentations to be customized or modified in a matter of seconds. No longer will presenters have to scramble between the PowerPoint screen and a TV monitor, fumble with look-alike hand-held controllers operating different equipment or sit on pins and needles hoping the tape is cue'd up, or that the VCR is tracking properly or will not jam. Also, with ActiveDVD, archiving videotapes will quickly become outdated. Eight hours of high-quality video can be archived on a single DVD disc and accessed for PowerPoint presentations in an instant. No longer will climate controls and large, expensive, dedicated spaces be necessary to store videos while they multiply and degrade at the same time. The ActiveDVD software is powered by InterActual Technology. ""Our relationship with InterActual guarantees that we will stay on the cutting edge of development for new, high-end technology products,"" Graboyes said. ""As we continue to develop ActiveDVD, new features designed for specific business needs can be integrated into the software, based upon the feedback from thousands of users in the field giving presentations every day.""
