XCTL System

This project explores utilizing multimedia means to enhance comprehension of XCTL issues, focusing on development and demonstration. Topics covered include project initiation, content creation, and technological implementation. The demonstration phase delves into characteristic details of the multimedia program. Efforts are chronicled, with key tools, utilities, and software highlighted. The integration of videos, images, and audio enrich the innovative visualization approach. The project involves a range of platforms and software tools for a comprehensive multimedia production process. Join the journey of exploring new media formats and methodologies to facilitate deeper understanding. (Word count: 101)

  3. Initiation  Novi Sad 2001: Wish for a multimedia (MM) presentation to allow a better understanding of the XCTL problem domain. Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  4. First Steps (Chronology - 1) • Nov. 2002: Decision for a MM production Previous knowledge: none !! • Dec. 2002: First dialogue with the physicists • Contents: • Announcing the intent • Presenting own imaginations • Discovering their imaginations • Aims: • Attracting the physicists • Concretion of contents • Result: • Interest of the physicists present  Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  5. First Steps (Chronology - 2) • Jan. – Mar. 2003: concretion of project and material securing • 19th of Feb. 2003: Issued financial support request for the project within the framework of MM supporting program of HU Berlin (7 pages) • Short title: XCTL Project: Multimedia presentation • Contents: beside others Target groups • Physics: students and lecturers • Pupils: „Doors Open Day“ at HU • Informatics: students and lecturers • Partners from South East Europe Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  6. First Steps (Chronology - 3) • ... • Contents: beside others Target groups ... Applied fonts • 10.000 Euro for HW and SW • 1 student assistant (1 year with 80 hours per month) Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  7. First Steps (Chronology - 4) • Jan. – Mar. 2003: concretion of project and material securing • 4th of Mar. 2003: acceptance of request funds in part: • 4.000 Euro for HW and SW • 1 student assistant (1 year with 40 hours per month) Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  8. Visualization of the use of XCTL by multimedia means Contents Introduction Demonstration Making and Effort Further Development Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  9. Demonstration (1) The implementation of the product is done by Andreas Wenzel (student assistant). He started on 5th of August.  Up to now very little time! Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  10. Demonstration (2) • Characteristics of MM program • Platform: Windows (UNIX later) • Display: 1024 x 768 pixels • Program exists in two variants • .exe  Main program with Flashplayer 6 included • .html  Using MS Internet Explorer  Demonstration Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  11. Visualization of the use of XCTL by multimedia means Contents Introduction Demonstration Making and Effort Further Development Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  12. Making and Effort (1) Architecture and Scripts. • U. Sacklowski, Mrs Richter (physicist) • Utilities: Word, hand sketches and screenshots example Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  13. Making and Effort (2) • Implementation • . • A. Wenzel • Tools • Flash MX with scripting language (main tool)Design vector graphics once and publish to print, the web, and Macromedia Flash. • Freehand MX (for difficult drawings)Create interactive content and Rich Internet Applications. Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  14. Making and Effort (3) Videos • Shot by a colleague from the CMS (Computer and Media Service at HU) • Cutting and titleing by same colleague from the CMS, Mrs. Richter and U. Sacklowski Software: Media100 Photos • Pictures taken by a colleague from the CMS • Edited by A. Wenzel Software: Photoshop Audio (Speech)  later (Nov. 2003?) Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U.

  15. PC (Software) Dev. platform: Windows Object Technics Format Integration Making and Effort (4) Laboratory application flow Video camera Media 100 MPEG-1 Speech (later) Micro Cooledit (?) WAV, MP3 Laboratory picture Digital camera Photoshop TIFF, JPEG Flash MX + Action script Silverfast Photoshop PSD, JPEG, GIF, PNG Document Scanner Text PC Flash MX FLA Flash MX (Freehand MX) Graphic PC FLA Flash MX + Action script Animation PC FLA Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  16. Making and Effort (5) Getting to know on your own new media and methodology with relatively high effort.For example: • Exposure to new media (usage, formats) • Managing complex synchronisations • Working with flash scripts • Handling dramaturgy • Estimating the effort Getting to know on your own new complex tools  Underestimation of effort! Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  17. Making and Effort (6) Making and Effort (6) Two concrete examples: Make three videos • Analysis and design: about 3 days • Shooting: about 3 hours • Cutting and titleing: about 8 hours • Rendering: about 1 hour Animation of azimuthal adjustment • Analysis and design: about 5 days • Implementation: about 7 days Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin
