4. Authoring in HTML5

A major advancement in the NMP309-W media appliance is the ability to

playback HTML5 content which can contain dynamic information.

The NMP309-W uses open communications protocols for content presentation

and playback control. SMIL-compliance means predictable results across

multiple devices, and SMIL's non-proprietary nature means that your

investments are never obsolete.

Using SMIL (pronounced "smile"), the language created by W3C for multimedia

communications, the media player understands the language "spoken" by

professional tools from companies such as Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, and Real

Networks. What this means is quicker, easier, and better integration of your

players into your digital signage networks, opening up avenues of software

controls and realizing the full potential of your player hardware down the road.

The media player operating system utilizes W3C SMIL as the underlying

scripting language, which lends well to customization to your project

management needs. For resources, downloads, and community support,
