The Digital Media Development Option contains the Video,
Audio, Audio File, MIDI, CD, DAT, Movie, and Compression
Libraries. It allows you to perform tasks like these
inside your application:
- perform audio, video, MIDI I/O on SGI machines (including
programming the IndyCam)
- convert audio/video data between different formats
(this includes software and hardware
compression/decompression for audio and video)
- read/write digital media file formats (SGI movie,
QuickTime, AIFF/AIFF-C sound files)
- read/write DAT audio tapes using SGI SCSI DAT drive, read
CD audio disks using SGI SCSI CD drive.
The part number for the Digital Media Development Option is
SC4-DMDEV-2.0. For releases prior to IRIX 6.2, if you would
like to develop applications which manipulate QuickTime files,
you must also order the companion product, QuickTime 1.0 Compressor
Library, part number SC4-QTCL-1.0. The Digital Media Development
Option requires IRIX 5.2 or later (both part numbers above are
for the IRIX 5.2 versions).
In order to use the Digital Media Development Option, you
also need to have IDO 5.2. This is the basic IRIS
developer option, including compilers, basic C library
headers, graphics libraries, etc.
In the United States, you can order these products by
calling Silicon Graphics toll-free at 1-800-800-SGI1
(1-800-800-7441). If you live in a country other than the
United States, contact your nearest Silicon Graphics
office, or call one of these regional telephone numbers:
Europe (41) 22-798.75.25 (Geneva, CH)
North Pacific (81) 3-5420.71.10
South Pacific (61) 2-879.95.00
Latin America 1(415) 390.46.37
Canada 1(416) 625-4747
Starting with IRIX 5.3, the Digital Media Development
Environment has been included as a standard piece of IDO,
and you no longer need to order it separately. However,
the QuickTime 1.0 Compressor Library remains a separate
product in IRIX 5.3.
Starting with WebForce 1.1 (and including IRIX 6.2), the
QuickTime codecs have been moved into the CL, so the
QuickTime 1.0 Compressor Library option is no longer needed.
