Free museum software for mac

QMedia 1.5.2 is considered as an effective plug-in that allows 4D applications to include, play back, edit and integrate tightly with all digital media types supported by QuickTime, Apple's award-winning, industry standard, multimedia technology. QMedia broadens the spectrum of applications that 4D developers can address by transforming 4th Dimension into a multimedia container and content development environment. Applications written with QMedia can be deployed accross platforms, as well as in heterogeneous client-server configurations.

Major Features:

1. Embed multimedia in your forms: Play back in 4D forms or external windows all QuickTime-supported media (still images, standard movies, VR movies, animated GIFs, sounds, music, MIDI, MPEG on Mac, etc). Control the visibility of the movie area and of the movie controller (in whole or in parts). Detatch the movie from its controller, and place each independently inside the plug-in area. Configure the area for movie editing, looping, keystroke handling and drag and drop to the Macintosh desktop. With QMedia 1.5 you can also get audio metering information and display custom sound level indicators.
2. Handle user and QuickTime events: QMedia gives programmatic access to many user events and QuickTime events through callback methods. Trap specific event types, examine event-specific properties, take some action, and finally decide and tell QuickTime if it should handle the event or not. Some of the things you can do with event handlers are:
   • Trap mouse clicks. The user will not be able to start or stop the movie with the mouse.
   • Track the custom button of the movie controller. When the mouse moves over a hot spot in a VR movie, search the database for information related to the hot spot.
   • Track user navigation history in a multinode VR movie and use it to populate a popup menu. The user can go back to already visited nodes by selecting from the history popup menu.
3. Access movie properties down to track level: Get and set numerous movie properties like volume, rate, duration, time scale, movie preview, poster frame, annotations etc. Access and modify movie tracks and track properties (create, delete, enable/disable, track volume, duration, graphics mode, transformation matrix, etc.)
4. Control VR movies: Fully integrate virtual reality (VR) movies in your database. Change pan, tilt and field of view angles, and other properties. Get node and hotspot information. Use event handling to create database-driven VR tours of museums, buildings, collections etc.
5. Publish database data with QuickTime: Add media to movies: add pictures and image files to video tracks, text to text tracks to generate movies out of database data. For example, create a slide show of your annual report charts, publish your photo album database to a movie, add scrolling banners with styled, anti-aliased, drop-shadow text to your 4D forms. Additional support for text includes searching in text tracks and adding "chapter list" tracks to movies.
6. Media conversion and compression: QMedia includes commands for converting media formats with QuickTime's movie import and export components. Convert media files to movie files and export movies (or tracks thereof) to media files. Re-compress video and sound in movie tracks using the growing list of QuickTime codecs (Cinepak, Animation, Motion JPEG, Sorenson video, etc.)
7. Prepare movies for Internet delivery: Preparation of a movie for publishing on the world wide web is done with three lines of code. QMedia creates single-fork, self-contained, fast-start movies that stream when served to the browser QuickTime plug-in.
8. Capture audio and video using the sequence grabber: The QuickTime sequence grabber does frame grabbing from any media source that can be connected to your Mac or PC computer and has a QuickTime driver. Such media sources include video cameras, digital cameras, sound, music and text sources, etc.

CuriosityAndVanity is a new way of thinking about networking: currently, we have the concepts of internet and of intranet, the former designed to be a global and public communication medium and the latter designed to be a local and private communication medium.
CuriosityAndVanity will address the needs of a local and public communication medium.
Imagine the following scenario: you go to a public place where you meet other people with a laptop or post pc device and you would like to know something about these people and to share with them some information about yourself as well. You want to market yourself and see the marketing of others. You want to express your ideas to unknown people nearby.
Or you go to a museum and you want to browse information regarding the operas you see in the museum by using your laptop or post pc device.
Or you want to broadcast the music you composed, the videos you shot or the webpages you created to the people living in your neighborhood.
Or you are part of a political, religious or other kind of entity and you want to share your ideas and maybe some documentation with others.
In a few words, you want to publish information in your local area in such a way that everyone in that area (including yourself) can access this information.
This is the kind of things that CuriosityAndVanity make possible with just a few clicks, provided that many people decide to use it. Thats why CuriosityAndVanity is currently free to install, use and redistribute, provided that you accept its license.
The possibilities of CuriosityAndVanity are endless, limited only by your own creativity.
