Sonic has
launched a new DVD authoring system called Scenarist Publisher. Developed with authoring studios in mind, Scenarist Publisher automates
the authoring workflow, reducing both production times and costs.
Sonic Solutions (NASDAQ: SNIC), the leader in digital media
software, today launched Scenarist Publisher, a revolutionary DVD authoring system for the creation of full-featured DVD-Video titles
from a simple, yet powerful, wizard-driven interface. Built upon Sonic's world-standard Scenarist authoring engine, Scenarist Publisher
automates the authoring workflow, allowing multiple titles with different content to be generated from a single Scenarist DVD project
with virtually no additional authoring. By leveraging authoring time across multiple titles, Scenarist Publisher drastically reduces QC
requirements while vastly increasing productivity, giving authoring facilities the option to redeploy their skilled authors to work on
new high-definition titles. Scenarist Publisher is also the platform upon which Sonic is building an efficient and cost-effective system
for Hollywood studios and other content owners to quickly prepare premium catalog video entertainment for on-demand electronic
distribution.
Scenarist Publisher is available now, and is being demonstrated at CES. More information is available on
Sonic's website.
