Sonic Releases New Scenarist V4.3 To Streamline Hollywood Blu-ray Disc Production

Sonic Solutions has launched Scenarist BD Edition 4.3, an important upgrade to its revolutionary high-definition authoring system that makes the creation of Blu-ray Disc (BD) titles with advanced interactive content significantly more accessible and straightforward.
Bringing speed and efficiency to all aspects of the BD title authoring workflow, Scenarist BD Edition includes new networked multiplexing capabilities, streamlined asset management capabilities, and the industry's best-of-breed still-image encoder for the highest-possible quality menus and HD slide shows.
Scenarist BD Edition is also the world's first application to allow professional authors to enable BD-Java functions used to create advanced interactive programming with drag-and-drop simplicity and produce BD-Objects and JAR files through a wizard-based workflow.
The simplified workflow is integrated into a full-featured Java editor to provide the ideal balance between ease and control and make Scenarist BD Edition the world's only comprehensive authoring system for creating Hollywood-class Blu-ray disc titles.
"Creating the advanced interactive content that our major motion picture clients demand for BD can be extremely time consuming and expensive," said Duncan Wain, President of Scope Seven. "Scenarist BD Edition 4.3 streamlines our Blu-ray development process, improves our ability to deliver innovative productions, and significantly increases our output capacity."
Sonic will be demonstrating Scenarist BD Edition at NAB at Stand SL4314.
