QSXE Component v3.0

QSXE QuickTime Component 3.0

With the addition of wired actions starting with QuickTime 2.5, Apple Computer Inc. endowed QuickTime with an impressive array of features with which designers can create fully interactive multimedia applications packaged as QuickTime movies. Without "wired actions" QuickTime would simply be another audio/video playback system.

QuickTime's extensible architecture gives its users yet another added benefit - viewing more types of Internet content via QuickTime components, or "plug-ins," created by other companies - like Totally Hip.

Totally Hip has created a new QuickTime component that is incorporated into its new release of LiveStage Professional version 4.5. This new component, or plug-in, is added to QuickTime when media requiring that functionality is encountered. QuickTime seamlessly retrieves the component from a server and installs it, then proceeds to play back the media.

Totally Hip Technologies has created a set of custom wired actions for use with the LiveStage Professional (v4.5) Interactive Media Authoring system. This set of custom wired actions are contained in a QuickTime downloadable component. Since QuickTime components can be downloaded on-demand, LiveStage QScript Extension Essentials (QSXE) component can be automatically deployed and updated in a way similar to a browser plug-in.

With the addition of the LiveStage QSXE component, Totally Hip Technologies can now create a virtually limitless array of wired actions and components to quickly address the evolving needs of developers/designers to support ever more complex uses of interactive QuickTime movies. The LiveStage QSXE component is currently only accessible through the LiveStage Professional (v4.5) authoring system.
