Beta Test Anark Studio
A public beta has opened that will enable developers of digital media to hone their content authoring skills while receiving a first hand look at a future product offering from Colorado based Anark Corporation. For a limited time, Anark studio -- an essential component of the Anark Media Platform -- will be publicly available for evaluation. The Media Platform is composed of Anark Studio for content creation, a server for streaming media, and a standalone client for establishing interactive displays.
Anark Studio's beta edition includes expanded support for common media types, JavaScript powered scripting for creating custom behaviors and a drag and drop interface intended for effortless interactivity. It provides authors with a timeline based on continuous time and object mapping support. In addition, presentations can be rendered in real-time through a Web browser.
By combining audio, text, video, and rich 2D/3D graphics, the company is promising that Anark Studio will provide its users with television quality interactive presentations suited for an array of applications. Anark's partners include Digital Island, Level 3, NOVO Corporation, and Refinery.
The beta is available for download today, and is open to all users who meet the minimum requirements. The test is set to expire on October 31.
