BBC TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATE DVD-VIDEO SERVICE
BBC Technology’s DVD authoring capabilities have enabled the BBC to emulate the full benefits of their Interactive television service on DVD-Video, to demonstrate their innovative new documentary series ahead of transmission.
For the first time, DVD-Video has been used to replicate the televisual experience of navigating additional video and audio streams, which will be broadcast along side the conventional programme. This achievement means that the DVD mirrors the ground breaking technology supporting the series which has already won a BAFTA for best enhancement of a linear production.
BBC Technology’s DVD & Multimedia team found the solution to reproduce the interactivity in a convenient form while retaining optimal presentational quality. DVD-Video has always been a possible medium for presenting Interactive services, but the BBC Technology team knew that whilst it is possible to emulate short Interactive sequences with clever programming during the authoring process, the programming task would become onerous, in terms of cost and scale, for longer pieces such as the desired 'Walking With Beasts' demonstration.
