Blue Pacific Software Releases ASP Turbine 7

Lisbon, Portugal - October 2, 2003 — Blue Pacific Software today announced the release of the new version of its acclaimed dynamic Flash generation tool - ASP Turbine version 7, which dynamically generates Flash from a variety of sources like databases, XML documents, audio and video from several input formats.

Turbine is a professional web server tool that integrates dynamic content into Flash rich media, allowing a clean separation between Presentation and Content and simplifying the creation of sophisticated rich media web sites with large amounts of dynamic content. Through its template-based media engine, Turbine 7 can integrate dynamic media and content into XML or Flash templates.

Turbine 7 includes the following innovative features:

• Comprehensive ASP.NET and ASP scripting interfaces
• Easy to use Turbine Media Markup Language that can express all the rich media capabilities: video, audio, images, shapes, interactivity and scripting
• Uses common Flash .swf movies as templates
• Extensive data integration capabilities - from XML, ADO.NET, classic ADO or plain old text files, local or remote
• Includes text, images, video and audio from a variety of formats, from local or remote locations
• An Action Script (ECMA-262 Script or JavaScript) on-the-fly compiler
• Full Flash MX support with extensive user interface component integration
• Dynamic Chart generation
• Server Media Caching

Besides the extensive integration capabilities, Turbine 7 is based on a sophisticated media-independent architecture, that will soon allow output to other media formats like PDF, SVG and several image formats, all generated from the same XML or Flash templates and media sources.

"The ubiquitous Flash technology brings the promise of a rich media Internet - Turbine 7 aims to enable this vision through its comprehensive media and content integration capabilities" said Jorge Diogo, CEO at Blue Pacific.

Availability

Turbine 7 is available as both ASP.NET and classic ASP web server components. Fully featured evaluation versions are available for download at Blue Pacific's web site.
