AVIcode Consulting - Press Release

AVIcode Consulting customer NetBlender is Nominated for an Advanced Media Technology Emmy Award

NetBlender was honored with a nomination by The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in its Science, Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards for Broadband and Personal Television categories. The nomination is for the company’s work on the DVD of the Emmy-winning PBS Documentary, The Cultivated Life: Thomas Jefferson and Wine.

The nominated production uses NetBlender DVD enhancement software, enhancement by means of AVIcode Consulting, to blend Web 2.0 functionality with the video content on the disc. Features include iTunes synchronization and interaction with Microsoft’s Virtual Earth map.

Demonstrating first-of-kind integration of online mapping with DVD-Video, the production allows the viewer to watch the portion of the film that retraces Jefferson’s 1787 wine tour through France’s great wine regions, while an online map of France is displayed simultaneously. As the film moves from region to region, the corresponding view of the map changes in synchronicity. Additionally, the viewer can take control and manipulate the map view, by clicking on any of Jefferson’s tour stops which are marked with pushpins. When a pushpin is clicked the application cues the corresponding portion of the film from the DVD
