   MARKETING STRATEGY
          IBM Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 (MMPM/2) Version 1.00
   adds audio and limited image capabilities to the OS/2 (R) 2.0 32-bit
   base.  These new presentation forms can increase the effectiveness of
   information and communication in personal computing, including the
   business desktop, industrial training, education, merchandising,
   marketing and public access.
          Multimedia Presentation Manager/2, the multimedia platform of
   choice, takes advantage of OS/2 2.0 features necessary to make
   multimedia effective.  This includes multitasking, essential for
   playing multiple data streams concurrently and for playing
   synchronized audio and video.  The OS/2 flat memory model is
   essential for handling data objects many megabytes in size.
          Multimedia Presentation Manager/2, the multimedia platform for
   the future, has extendable architecture that enables new functions,
   devices and multimedia data types and formats to be added as the
   technology advances.  For example, video functions can be added
   seamlessly to Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 as they become
   available.
          The functional content of Multimedia Presentation Manager/2
   was determined by using Quality Function Deployment, or QFD.  QFD is
   a market-driven process for understanding the "Voice of the
   Customer," and for translating customer wants and needs into product
   characteristics.
          For this QFD, IBM visited potential customers in the U.S.,
   Europe and Asia to gather input related to multimedia systems.  The
   results were described in a follow-up survey for customers.
   Customers then prioritized these wants and needs.  This data was used
   as the basis for deciding what functions to include in Multimedia
   Presentation Manager/2.
          Existing IBM offerings and OEM hardware supported by device
   drivers supplied with the OEM hardware are supported.
          The IBM Multimedia Presentation Manager Toolkit/2 Version 1.00
   supports the application developer with sample programs that can be
   readily adapted to provide application solutions.

   DESCRIPTION
   IBM MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION MANAGER/2
   USER PRODUCTIVITY:  The key benefit of multimedia is an enhanced
   quality of information and communication.  When audio and image are
   combined with text and graphics, customers can access richer forms of
   information, and communication becomes more effective.  Multimedia
   Presentation Manager/2 enables this increase in productivity.
          The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 system supports the
   playback of digital audio files and the recording of audio signals
   into digital format.  This facilitates the creation of online
   presentations, such as an image "slide show" with accompanying audio.
   Such presentations have many uses in industrial training, education,
   merchandising and business presentation environments.  Multimedia
   Presentation Manager/2 also enables audio annotation in conventional
   productivity applications, such as spreadsheets and word processors.
          Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 recognizes a variety of
   audio and image data types.  The user can concentrate on the value of
   the information itself, and not be concerned with the data type.
   This also increases the availability of different types and formats
   of information to the end user, which in turn increases productivity.
          The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 user interface conforms
   to the 1991 Common User Access (TM) architecture.  A standard user
   interface allows users to control the data in a consistent manner.
   This includes, for example, playing and rewinding audio clips and
   adjusting and muting volume.  Users can be more effective with every
   product that uses these interface functions, since the methods for
   controlling their data is consistent across the different products.
          Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 provides synchronization
   support by taking advantage of the multitasking capabilities in OS/2
   (R) 2.0.  For example, multiple audio streams can be played back
   simultaneously, and the system will keep them synchronized
   automatically.  This is useful for playing background music with a
   foreground voice-over or for mixing different audio tracks.
          Finally, the installation and online information of Multimedia
   Presentation Manager/2 makes each user's job easier.  The graphical
   install program is designed to be a "one-button" process if the user
   so desires.  However, if customization is required, the user can
   select components, which can save disk space and available memory at
   run time.  Context-sensitive helps are included throughout Multimedia
   Presentation Manager/2 to enable access to the most up-to-date
   product information.

      Corporation.
   GROWTH ENABLEMENT:  The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2
   architecture enables the system to easily accommodate new functions,
   support new devices and incorporate new data types and formats.  This
   opens new opportunities, such as desktop video conferencing,
   video-based computer training, sophisticated graphics rendering, and
   a host of new devices and data types that accompany these
   technologies.
          The install program is designed with this growth in mind.  As
   customers acquire new hardware or would like to add new functions,
   they can do so without re-installing the entire system.
   INVESTMENT PROTECTION:  As the customers' needs grow, Multimedia
   Presentation Manager/2 works to protect investments.  The open
   architecture for data standards support ensures that customer
   information assets retain their value regardless of format.
   Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 can also be the convergence
   platform for other IBM multimedia products, which protects the
   customers' current investments.
          Investments related to compact disc are protected in several
   ways.  CDs are an excellent vehicle for program distribution, large
   databases, audio, animation, and eventually, full motion video.
   Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 support includes CD-ROM, CD-DA, and
   CD-ROM/XA.
   BUSINESS SOLUTIONS:  Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 will be an
   important component of every customers business goals.  Since
   multimedia increases the effectiveness of information and
   communication, Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 facilitates decision
   making within the enterprise.  With standard user interface controls
   and productivity applets, users are more efficient and training costs
   are reduced.  The open, extendable architecture of Multimedia
   Presentation Manager/2 enhances the integration of the customers'
   business systems.
   SYSTEM MANAGEMENT:  The Multimedia Presentation Manager/2
   installation makes system setup easier.  The default, one-button
   approach optimizes the install process.  The selective install
   optimizes disk space and available run-time memory.
          Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 assists the user in system
   management by providing several small system applications called
   applets.  The applets are described in the TECHNICAL INFORMATION
   section.  The system applets provide a consistent method of changing
   device and system settings.  The user simply opens Multimedia Setup
   notebook, selects the device and modifies the settings as necessary.
   This is also consistent with the methods used by OS/2 to modify
   settings.
   IBM MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION MANAGER TOOLKIT/2
   BUSINESS SOLUTIONS:  The functions of Multimedia Presentation
   Manager/2 and the components of the Multimedia Presentation Manager
   Toolkit/2 help software developers achieve their business goals,
   namely to produce quality multimedia products with efficiency.
          The Media Control Interface and the Multimedia I/O functions
   of Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 make device and data
   independence part of every product.  Code need not be written to
   accommodate every possible end user configuration, as this is handled
   by Multimedia Presentation Manager/2.  By using Multimedia
   Presentation Manager/2, products can exploit the functions of today
   and adapt to those of tomorrow.
          Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 also increases product
   performance through stream and synchronization support.  Product
   developers are freed from managing multimedia data streams and
   keeping two, independent streams synchronized.
          The sample programs provided with Multimedia Presentation
   Manager Toolkit/2 enable the product developer to concentrate more on
   product-specific function and less with exploitation of multimedia
   support with sample programs for every major function in the
   Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 system.  Also, samples may be used
   freely within the product and adapted to suit the needs of the
   product.
   USER PRODUCTIVITY:  Product developers can increase productivity
   through Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 and the Multimedia
   Presentation Manager Toolkit/2.  This starts with product
   installation by CD-ROM.  Also, Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 APIs
   provide comprehensive multimedia device and data handling functions,
   and the Toolkit includes sample programs that use these APIs.  As a
   result, less development time is needed to manage the multimedia
   aspect of the product.  Also, online documentation means faster
   access to product details.
   INVESTMENT PROTECTION AND GROWTH ENABLEMENT:  Software developers'
   investments are protected by Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 and
   the Toolkit through support for a common programming interface and
   support for industry data standards.  Developers can look to IBM to
   give consideration to extending APIs into new frontiers of
   multimedia.  Also, the data handling architecture allows not only for
   new formats of existing data types (for example, new audio formats),
   but for entirely new multimedia data types as well (for example,
   video).

   PLANNING INFORMATION
   IBM MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION MANAGER/2:  The following functions are
   available in Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 and are comparable to
   functions in multimedia products already in the marketplace.
   o   Media Control Interface Support
              The Media Control Interface provides a consistent device
       independent API between different Media devices, as initially
       specified by IBM/Microsoft.  The Media Control Interface
       activates Media Control Drivers that communicate with the
       multimedia device drivers.  The Media Control Drivers tell the
       device drivers what to do with the multimedia data.  Examples of
       these Media Control Interface commands include open and close
       device, play, record, rewind, stop, pause, seek and query status.
   o   Waveform Audio Support
              Provides the Media Control Driver for playing and
       recording audio data.
   o   CD Digital Audio Support
              Provides the Media Control Driver for playing and
       controlling standard CD Digital Audio.  The digital audio may be
       played through a CD-ROM drive internal DAC and out of the CD-ROM
       earphone jack, or streamed to a compatible audio adapter.
   o   MIDI Sequencing and Synthesizer support
              Provides for Media Control of audio adapters that provide
       internal synthesizer support of MIDI data.
   o   Amp/Mixer Support
              Provides the Media Control of hardware supported mixing of
       audio streams from two sources.  An example of this function is
       mixing a mono-wave track for background music and a foreground
       voice over narration.  It also provides control over the audio
       adapter's settings, such as treble, bass, volume, balance and
       pitch.  In addition, it can be used to vary volume or balance
       over time.
   o   Videodisc control
              Provides for Media Control of an analog videodisc.  The
       Media Control Driver for the Pioneer LDV8000, 4400, and 4200
       series will be included.
   o   Multimedia I/O Manager
              Provides the basis of the Multimedia I/O (MMIO) subsystem,
       which allows application independence from data object format.
       The native data format types were initially specified by the
       Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF), by IBM/Microsoft.  In
       addition, MMIO offers support for installable data handlers.
   o   M-Audio Capture And Playback Adapter Device Driver (including DOS
       Virtual Machine AudioDD (Audio VDD) Interface Support)
              This is the physical device driver for the M-ACPA.  It
       provides the AudioDD interface to OS/2 and DOS Virtual Machines
       programs, as well as the physical device driver interface for
       M-ACPA to the Audio and MIDI Media Control Drivers.
       NOTE: With the Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 Audio VDD and
       the Windows Multimedia Extensions installed as part of the WIN
       OS/2 environment, then Windows Multimedia applications and
       Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 applications can run in a
       single OS/2 2.0 system.
   o   Control Applets
       -   MM Setup
                  Allows the user to easily modify and fine tune his
           Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 configuration, associate
           file types with multimedia devices, and control the system
           close captioning flag.  If an application uses audio
           narration, it can query the state of the system close
           captioning to decide whether close captioning is required.
   o   Media Player Applets
              These applets are used to play different kinds of audio,
       specifically digital audio files, MIDI files, and audio compact
       discs.  Each player is installed automatically if the system
       configuration supports that type of audio.  They can control any
       audio device which supports simple Media Control commands like
       play, stop, rewind, and seek.
              Digital audio can also be recorded through a microphone or
       line-in jack.  The recording format is 8-Bit PCM 22Khz mono,
       equivalent to FM Stereo.  These digital audio files can be used
       by products that use audio.
   o   MM Installation
              This program installs the Multimedia Presentation
       Manager/2 diskettes and the Multimedia Presentation Manager
       Toolkit/2.  It is a CUA (TM) application that minimizes the
       requirements for user interaction via the OS/2 workplace shell
       object oriented interface.  It also provides the user with the
       capability of installing Media Control Drivers and hardware
       physical device drivers provided by other sources without having
       to re-install the entire system.
          The following multimedia functions are available only on the
   OS/2 multimedia offering.  Many of these functions are feasible only
   due to the advantages of the OS/2 operating system base.  The nature
   of OS/2, being a preemptive multitasking operating system, with
   multithreaded processing support, offers performance advantages to
   the multimedia platform, where extremely high throughput rates are
   required and multiple multimedia data streams are being processed
   concurrently.  In addition, the OS/2 multimedia product offers the
   programming advantage of the flat memory model, which alleviates the
   difficulties of managing segments for large programs and data object
   handling characteristic of multimedia applications.
   o   Synchronization/Streaming Programming Interface
              This provides the multimedia applications with control for
       synchronizing multimedia data streams (such as audio and video).
       It also provides the multimedia applications finer control of the
       flow of his data streams to the media devices.  Since the
       Sync/Stream Manager uses the Fast Threads of OS/2 V2.0,
       applications can have real time control of multimedia devices,
       without impacting the system.  The Sync/Stream Manager can also
       be multi-tasked.
   o   Control Applet -- Volume Control
              Allows a user to control audio output level on a system
       wide basis, or to completely mute the output.
   o   CD-ROM/XA interleaved data and compressed audio support
              This provides the Media Control Driver for splitting
       CD-ROM/XA interleaved data and compressed audio, and plays the
       audio stream through the audio adapter, while passing the data or
       video stream to an application program.
   o   Extendable Data Object Format Support
              MMIO data handlers, either from Multimedia Presentation
       Manager/2 Release 1 or from an application provider, can be
       installed into the system as an extension to MMIO.  In addition
       to RIFF support, Release 1 will provide MMIO Handlers for the
       following data file formats:
       -   PCM, ADPCM Audio Files
       -   AVC Audio Files
       -   MIDI Format 0 and Format 1
       -   OS/2 Bitmaps
       -   M-Motion Still Images
       -   AVC Images
                  Data handlers can be written to support additional
           MMIO controls for data translations.  With these controls,
           and the appropriate support in the data handler to perform
           the translation, an application can work with media data
           either in its native form, or in a media format native to
           Multimedia Presentation Manager/2.
   o   Multimedia Data Converter Applet
              This Applet provides a user interface to the installed
       MMIO data handlers with translation support enabled, allowing a
       user to convert his data files between the various data types for
       which support is installed.
   o   Standard Multimedia PM Controls
              Multimedia PM Controls, knobs (or circular sliders) and
       animated pushbuttons are made available to all applications.
   o   Publication:  Getting Started -- Introduces components of the
       Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 and assists with installation.
