I just got done revamping the old Metacard program running the Deep
Link and Jellies shows in the auditorium of the Monterey Bay Aquarium
to Revolution (it was MetaCard). The shows now are in all High
Definition Video projected on a 16 foot by 9 foot screen and the
images/video is absolutely stunning. The Revolution program provides
over 400 HD video and still clips for the presenter to display to the
audience to help interpret the live video being broadcast from ROVs
in the bay. The system also provides notes to the presenter on the
clips to help them answer audience questions.
The Deep link presentation system, while essentially the same concept
over the last 16 years, has grown into an impressive array of
hardware controlled by the system along with now being in HD
resolution (uncompressed HD on a 4 terabyte server). It has also
followed a historic litany of multimedia development systems,
starting out being prototyped on the alpha version of colorize HC
routines, to Toolbook (the installed system has had to be PC based
all along), to MetaCard, and finally to Revolution. Revolution's
TCPIP abilities allowed me to work on the debugging with my mac
laptop sitting in the auditorium controlling things (installed
control is all serial based), then just pop it over ot a PC app and go!
While you are at the RevCon try and stop by the aquarium to take in a
show (and the aquarium). Unfortunately, they are running shows all
day long now with the summer crunch so getting a Rev only glimpse
didn't work out, but if you go up after the show there are usually a
few minutes to get the presenter to let you take a peak at the Rev
program running on their podium touch screen. Also be aware the
Aquarium has expanded over the years and is hard to take in in a
couple of hours unless you want to run. best to try and take it in
for a couple of hours, take a break and come back later in the day to
finish up. Wish i could be there for RevCon, but have be back in DC
those dates.
cheers,
jeff
