4. Authoring in HTML5
A major advancement in the NMP599-W-2 media appliance is the ability to
playback HTML5 content which can contain dynamic information.
5. Working with SMIL
The NMP-309W 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.
5.1. Introduction
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.
5.2. www.a-smil.org for developers
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,
