Toolkit - Software routines and/or utilities (tools) that are used to develop and maintain applications and databases. Authoring Tools - (Interactive
Television) – (May be known as Interactive TV
Toolkit, Enhancement Author. May be associated with Toolset.)
- Creates and/or integrates interactive television into television
programming. Depending on the
product, these could be used for all or some of the interactive
program's production and
telecast, (from “concept to broadcast”.) For instance, Emuse’s
“Modelstream,” is (as of the time of this writing) an interactive TV
authoring tool that can provide “concept to broadcast” interactive
television production.
In the Modelstream authoring environment, (1) footage is
separated into individual shots, identifying and tracking multiple
objects in a frame and allowing the embedding of content (i.e. bitmaps
and text) into those objects; (2) Modelstream Generate creates the code
necessary for transmission of the interactive content; (3) Modelstream
Broadcast plays out, controls and synchronize interactive television
applications on
air. See Emuse's website for more definitive information on the above,
