Acrobat

Mindfrog is
using Adobe Acrobat in order to publish several of the Mindfrog
project papers.
|
|
After Effects
|
|
|
Mindfrog experimented
with several video solutions including color off set techniques
promoted in ready to use filters within Adobe After Effects. We
opted not to use the technique and have used After Effects for standard
video editing capabilites to supply you with the video found on
this site.
|
|
Broadcaster
|
|
|
Mindfrog experimented
with several streaming media solutions including the Apple compatible
Sorenson Broadcaster. Due to it's strictly Macintosh centric market,
we opted for a cross-platform solution in Real Networks System 8
stream solution.
|
|
Dreamweaver
|
|
|
This site and
several mockups have been story boarded and authored mostly in Dreamweaver.
Aproximately 70% of the site is Dreamweaver authored and 30% is
custom coding added through a text editor called Text Pad.
|
|
Fireworks
|
|
|
Many of the
website graphics have been generated and optimized in Fireworks.
|
|
Flash
|
|
|
Several of the
animations both in this website and for videos Mindfrog has developed
using Flash.
|
|
Media
100 |
i |
Media
100, Inc.
|
Mindfrog
used this Media100i editing system to process the archived, on-demand
experiences. Media 100i digitzed, edited and compressed/exported to
quicktime which was then converted to Real Media. |
|
OpenPhone
|
|
|
"The OpenH323
project aims to create a full featured, interoperable, Open Source
implementation of the ITU H.323." Mindfrog is using this open
source project as it's VoIP solution for realtime voice interactivity.
|
|
Photoshop
|
|
|
Several of this
site's graphics as well as those found in videos and animations
were either created and/or processed through Photoshop.
|
|
Premiere
|
|
|
Mindfrog experimented
with several video solutions including color off set techniques
promoted in ready to use filters within Adobe Premiere. We opted
not to use the color off set technique and have used Premiere for
it's capabilities in maintaining interlaced video signals from multple
capture sources include IEEE 1394 PCMCIA cards, integrated SVideo
capture cards and USB capture cables. We also used standard video
editing capabilites to supply you with the video found on this site.
|
|
Quicktime
|
|
|
In conjunction
with our ealier trials of several streaming media solutions, we
worked with Sorenson Broadcaster as well as Apple Quicktime as potential
solutions for or streaming media needs. As mentioned earlier, we
opted for Real Networks' streaming solution, however many of the
on demand files are processed in Premiere as Quicktime (rather than
AVI or MPG) movies.
|
|
Real
|
|
|
Mindfrog is
using free academically licensed version of Real Networks' suite
of streaming media solutions based on their Real System 8 architecture.
We are using Real Producer, Real Player, and Real Server to stream
converted movies of varing bandwidths ranging from 100kbps to 1Mbps.

Textpad
|
|
Helios Software
Solutions
|
Textpad is a
shareware text editor application which offers intuitive features
that allow for efficient and maximized manual editing of HTML content.
|
|
Windows Media
Technologies
|
|
|
Windows Media
Technologies (WMT) is another streaming media soltuion we are working
with. WMT offers inexpensive scalability and a mature streaming
solution which is gaining market penetration quickly. We consider
WMT as a viable streaming solution; however, we have continued with
Real Networks' solutions due to the better performance of certain
hardware and the maintaining of an interlaced signal.
