The Show Player Software; Distributing The Show Player Software; Macintosh And Windows Show; Players - ScanSoft Kai’s Power SHOW User Manual

Don't confuse a .shw (project) file and its
associated media folder with the final .sas
(show) file and its associated media folder.
The .shw (project) media folder merely
contains modified content, not collected
and optimized source content for
transport. It can not be distributed.

The SHOW Player Software

To make sharing shows with others easy
and fast, both a Windows and Macintosh
SHOW Player Installer are provided
inside the SHOW Player Installers folder,
within the Kai's Power SHOW folder on
your hard drive.
The SHOW Players are provided for
distribution as software installers to
ensure their compact size and to insure
that files are placed in their proper places
on the recipient's hard drive. These
installers will set up the SHOW Player on
a remote system.
SHOW Players allow users to play an
existing show, not edit it. If editing by
the recipient is desired, they can do so
by opening the show using the retail
SHOW application.
Distributing the SHOW Player
Software
The SHOW Player lightweight installers
are small enough to give to friends, family,
and business associates via E-mail or on
removable media. ScanSoft encourages
you to freely distribute these player
installers, so you can share your shows
with those who do not own Kai's Power
SHOW. For information on how to
include the SHOW players or installers on
your commercial product, please contact
ScanSoft Sales on the World Wide Web at
www.scansoft.com.
You can use utilities like WinZip or Stuffit
to ensure efficient transfer before you put
the SHOW Player files on-line or onto
removable media.

Macintosh and Windows SHOW

Players

If the recipient of your show will be
viewing on a PC, you need only provide
them the Windows SHOW Player
Installer. Macintosh users need only
receive the Macintosh SHOW Player
Installer.
If your show contains an AVI clip, it will
play using the Mac and PC SHOW
Players. However, the PC SHOW Player
will not play QuickTime movies.
To install the SHOW Players
Double-click the SHOW Player
installer icon. Then, just follow the
simple installer prompts to
completion.
To launch the SHOW Players
1. Double-click the SHOW Player icon,
or select Start menu > Programs >
SHOW Player.
2. Use the Open dialog to locate the
name of the desired .sas show file.
3. When you locate the desired .sas file,
click "Open" and the show will begin
to play on a black background.
Remember: to successfully use the
player, you must possess both the .sas
show file and its associated content
folder (which has "Media" appended to
the show name).
