正如下面所描写的,我正在收听KJR-FM95.7,但并不是通过立体声收音机收听节目,而是通过我的计算机。单击鼠标,它将我带到I Still Know What You Did Lasf Summer的预览屏幕,但提供的实况转播视频让我有些寒心。于是我转到CNN并从文档中播放了一幅图像(图1)。突然我意识到我所观看的视频是几个星期前录制的,并且我不是通过TV或VCR,而是通过PC来观看。呈现在眼前的窗口非常棒,它将静态图像、视频流和超文本链接菜单结合起来了。但更棒的我正在通过速率仅28.8K的调制解调器进行浏览。 上述的事情怎样才成为可能?答案是SMIL(Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language,同步多媒体综合语言)。通过SMIL,你可以将文本、静态图像、声音、视频及动画结合起来,创建具有广播质量的交互多媒体演示。但是不象电视作品,你不需要数百万美元的工作室来创建SMIL演示,也不需要购买将作品通过电缆网络发送到世界各地的时间。实际上,创建、发布和发送SMIL演示仅仅需要一台PC机、一套开发工具以及可访问的兼容的媒体服务器。接下来。让我们看一看SMIL究竟是什么吧。
As described below, I was listening to the KJR-FM95.7, but not listening to the program via a stereo radio but through my computer. A click of the mouse brought me to the preview of I Still Know What You Did Lasf Summer, but the live video provided was a bit chilling. So I went to CNN and played an image from the document (Figure 1). Suddenly I realized that the video I watched was recorded a few weeks ago, and I was watching it on a PC either through a TV or a VCR. The window in front of us is great, combining static images, video streams, and hypertext link menus. But even better I’m browsing through a modem that’s only 28.8K. How can this be possible? The answer is SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language). With SMIL, you can combine text, still images, sound, video and animation to create interactive multimedia presentations with broadcast quality. But unlike television productions, you do not need multi-million dollar studios to create SMIL presentations or to buy time to send your creations across the world via cable networks. In fact, creating, publishing, and sending SMIL presentations requires only a single PC, a set of development tools, and an accessible, compatible media server. Next. Let’s take a look at what SMIL really is.
