Sonic Solutions has announced a new version of its
Scenarist Designer PS Software. By using this plugin, graphic designers can design menus in Photoshop and export them for use with both
Blu-ray and HD DVD. With version 2.1, Sonic has broadened the applications reach by supporting non-Scenarist-based authoring
systems.
Sonic Solutions today introduced Scenarist Designer PS Software Version 2.1, a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop that
brings increased power, flexibility, and automation to the HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc menu design process. Offering seamless integration
with the title-creation workflow in Sonic's industry-leading Scenarist Workgroup authoring applications, Designer PS enables
simultaneous format-compliant output of color-optimized menu graphics for both Blu-ray Disc (HDMV and BD-J) and HD DVD (HDi). New in
version 2.1 is support for non-Scenarist-based authoring systems, which broadens the application's reach and effectiveness for graphics
professionals joining the high-definition format evolution. Scenarist Designer PS 2 is available immediately through Sonic's resale
channels worldwide.
