BD-J Converter

 

BD-J Converter is the world's first plug-in for Adobe® Flash® that automatically converts Flash animations to BD-J code for the creation of world-class BD-J titles.

Exclusively available through the Sonic Extended Developer Group, BD-J Converter empowers animators and designers to create stunning interactive menu animations using the familiar Flash authoring environment to produce legal BD-J code without having to understand Java programming. This highly efficient workflow dramatically reduces BD-J development times. Java programmers no longer need to hand code menu animations using pure Java code and graphic designers can be creative without having to learn Java.

Here's a quick rundown of how BD-J Converter can transform the efficiency of your BD production business:

  • Dramatically Accelerate BD-J Development by up to 70% – BD-J Converter makes the creation and development of animations for BD-J faster and easier. Animators can use the familiar environment of Adobe Flash - one of the worlds leading animation tools - rather than having to learn a new Java-oriented tool. Java programmers can focus on implementing functionality, rather than performing the tedious task of hand coding animation sequences.
  • Seamless Integration with Adobe® Flash® CS3 - BD-J Converter integrates perfectly with Flash and enables animators and BD-J developers to quickly and easily create BD-J code by simply selecting "Convert to BD-J" from the Commands menu – it's that easy!
  • Easy BD-J Creation for Designers and Animators – BD-J Converter enables professional designers and animators to take direct control of their BD-J designs. Working in a familiar environment – Adobe Flash – they’re able to create BD-ready BD-J code without writing a single line of Java code.
  • Efficient and Logical Deployment of Resources – Java programmers are an expensive resource. Without BD-J Converter, part of their time is used hand coding animations handed over from designers/animators. Not only is this a waste of their valuable time, it leaves room for human error as programmers attempt to reproduce animators’ designs using Java. BD-J Converter enables the animation part of BD-J production to exist where it belongs: with the animators, ensuring animations are exactly as intended and BD-J programmers are free to program important functionality, not menu animations.
  • Seamless Integration with the Scenarist® Workgroup – The output from BD-J Converter can be imported directly into Scenarist BD-J for further development and finalizing.
  • Compatible and Efficient BD-J Code Generation and Java Runtime Generation – BD-J Converter creates compatible and optimized code for BD-J titles, including a Java runtime library, for the best possible player performance.
  • Automated Image Mosaic Creation - BD-J Converter automatically creates an Image Mosaic file containing all source graphics to ensure optimized loading times and player performance.
