Mentor Graphics: Scenarist

From Devwiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Daikin, a Japanese chemicals and heavy industries conglomerate, built a DVD authoring/editing tool with Objectivity/DB, aided by our partner, OGIS. The system was then over by a small company in Orange County, which merged with a company in Santa Rosa(?) and was eventually acquired by Mentor Graphics. The current status is unknown. It may have become Sonic Scenarist, which (hopefully) does not use Objectivity/DB.

[edit] Why They Chose Objectivity

  • Distributed Architecture: Objectivity's distributed architecture provides Daikin customers performance and scalability in a distributed environment where the Scenarist user must complete multiple DVD projects simultaneously in a highly productive, distributed environment.
  • Platform Heterogeneity: Scenarist is available on both the SGI and NT platforms. Because Objectivity/DB runs heterogeneously on more than 16 hardware platforms, Objectivity allows Daikin to meet the demands of the high-end Scenarist customers running large volumes of complex data on both the NT and SGI platforms.
  • Object Database Transparency: Software authors using Scenarist share assets with Daikin's Multimedia component server environment called Comtec Future Studio which is connected with computer graphics, digital video, audio stations, MPEG decompression/compression mechanism, all of which are then connected to a CD printer or, via gateway, to a remote studio. The embedded Objectivity/DB provides cross-platform object-oriented database capabilities seamlessly _ without any obstruction to the multimedia and printing requirements (both local and remote) of Scenarist. In fact, Objectivity/DB significantly increases performance and seamless workflow productivity.
