Producing Blu-ray Java Software Titles for Hollywood
TS-0887

Blu-ray Java software opens up limitless creative possibilities for writing interactive titles for the home. Integrating high-definition video and audio, the Blu-ray Java software you commit to disc can be an integral part of a title that plays on anybody's Blu-ray player, appearing soon on an HDTV near you.

This presentation describes the BD-J software creation process: the kinds of assets you'll need, the tools available to you, and how to live within the device constraints. It shows you how to tap into the power of advanced Blu-ray features, such as picture-in-picture, multichannel sound mixing, downloaded video, synchronizing Java software graphics with video, and enhanced Blu-ray games. It also tells you about the close links between Blu-ray and the world of broadcast television--including cable, satellite, and IPTV--and how your application can be written to cross over to these other delivery platforms.

The possibilities of the Blu-ray platform are endless. With this rich new platform, the opportunities aren't limited to just writing software for individual discs: there's also a need for tools and techniques for rapidly creating interactive assets, and there's a market for server technologies to support new ways of using your television. In addition to Hollywood movies, there will be opportunities for educational and other special-interest works. This new industry will be accessed through your remote control, your TV screen, and the software you write for a Blu-ray title. This session shows you what that software can do and how you can make it happen with Java technology.
