Scenarist^® Publisher

Designed for businesses who demand maximum authoring efficiency and throughput, Scenarist Publisher revolutionizes the traditional DVD authoring workflow. Titles that used to take weeks to author can now be completed in minutes, changing DVD publishing forever and unlocking niche content that was previously financially unviable, opening up new, previously untapped, markets.

Increased Productivity

• Reduce Authoring Time - Author complex titles in a matter of minutes. Titles that used to take weeks to custom author can be produced in a fraction of the time using Scenarist Publisher’s easy-to-use form-based authoring interface.
• Slash Production Costs - Scenarist Publisher not only reduces authoring time but also puts advanced authoring power in the hands of less-skilled authors, slashing production costs.
• Reduce QC Time - As each title is authored from a single form, there’s no need to QC every aspect of every title. QC one title, and you’ve checked the lot!
• Remote Authoring - Generate disc orders from any Web-enabled remote location, via intranet, extranet, or the Internet. Scenarist Publisher can even be integrated into existing Web services to automatically generate and multiplex custom titles. [Enterprise Edition Only]
• Highly Adaptable - Create and use forms that are optimized to suit the way your organization already works, leveraging the best of what you already have in authoring techniques and organizational procedures.

Higher Quality Production

• Higher Quality Titles - Scenarist Publisher authors simply input the source asset data without touching the original authoring programming which has already been optimized for compliance and compatibility, removing the chance of human error when authoring complex DVD titles.
• Powerful Form Creation - Forms can be automatically created from existing Scenarist projects, or custom programmed to integrate into proprietary workflows and data systems.
• Player Compatibility & Robustness - Scenarist Publisher is built on the industry-proven Scenarist authoring system, which incorporates years of development to ensure player compatibility and robustness.

Powerful Form-based Authoring

• Custom Form Generation - Generate Publisher Forms from existing Scenarist SD projects, leveraging years of authoring experience and innovation. Following automatic conversion, Forms can be edited using Scenarist Publisher’s Form Builder to suit the specific need of individual clients.
• Easy-to-use Authoring Interface - With Scenarist Publisher’s Project Builder, authoring complex A-list titles can be as easy as completing a few fields in a wizard-style form, requiring less-skilled authoring, fewer operations and resulting in fewer errors.
• Comprehensive DVD Specification Support - Scenarist Publisher supports all DVD functions supported by Scenarist SD.
• Output Flexibility - Completed titles can be exported to Scenarist SD for further customization or multiplexing or passed on to Scenarist Publisher’s MuxServer (Enterprise Edition only) for automated multiplexing and premastering.

Server-based Multiplexing [Enterprise Edition Only]

• Server Hosted Multiplexer - Scenarist Publisher’s stand-alone multiplexing server frees up authoring seats to carry on non-stop authoring, increasing productivity and project turnaround.
• Job Manager - View a list of all multiplexing jobs in the server’s queue at a glance and manage their priority to ensure the most urgent titles are processed first. The Job Manager also provides a process log listing all actions taken and tasks in progress for each individual title.
