Sony’s Media Software division has announced the availability of Blu-print, a
complete system for use in authoring DVDs in the new Blu-ray format.
The Blu-print authoring application, developed by Sony Pictures
Entertainment, runs on most high-end Windows-powered workstations and enables
post-production facilities and movie production studios to utilise the advanced
features of the BD-ROM format.
As well as proper encoding, users can use Blu-print to create menu navigation
for their Blu-ray discs and utilise the advanced features of the format such as
BDMV (Blu-ray Disc Movie) 'popup' menus and BD-J (Blu-ray Disc Java)
interactivity.
"The Blu-print application effectively unlocks many of the most advanced
Blu-ray functions and capabilities, providing producers of the new disc format
with a comprehensive resource for developing higher quality projects than ever
before," said Dave Chaimson, vice president of marketing, Sony Media Software.
"This software-based solution helps to streamline the authoring process and
allows Blu-print integration within a production facility's existing workflow
process."
Blu-print is now available for $50,000 per licence.
