[comp.sys.mac.misc] Presentation Software

neil@ms.uky.edu (Neil Greene) (03/01/91)

I am looking for some recommendations for both hardware and software
requirements for a "blow out" presentation involving color, sound, slides, and
videos for the macintosh computer.

Currently, we are looking for an interface through Super Hypercard that will
allow color, full screen, and sound.   If there is something better, let me
know.  Also on order is a touch screen, for our interface through SH Card.  

For slides we have Aldus Persusion
(enough said, it works great), but what about for video, almost getting into
the renderman area???  Interested in software and hardware requirements.

Anyone know what type of disk space is needed for large quantities of
digitized voice??  

----

The idea, is to present data contained in a large database in a why that will
allow some 400-600 people to play with the computer while making the
presentation unique and meaningfull.  This is why sound, color and video are
needed.

I happen to have a whole song on my hard disk which is digitized.  It is about
five-six minutes long (I have not timed it) and takes 4.2 megs if it is stored
in the compressed sound format.  If it is stored uncompressed, it takes 5.3
megs.  I hope this gives you some ideas about the size of digitized sound which
is stored on the Mac.  BTW, it was digitized at 11khz in stereo with a device
similar to a Macrecorder.
