Blu-ray Authoring System

BDX is the only Blu-ray authoring system that combines flexible template-driven authoring with a visual menu editor. This means that BD discs can be made more quickly, with reduced need for QC, and without the need for programming skills. This can dramatically reduce costs.

Everyone in the home entertainment industry knows that Blu-ray production is complex, expensive to author and QC, and the work involved is error-prone, repetitive and requires highly skilled staff. It is also difficult to scale up when work increases.

Introducing BDX

BDX is an authoring system that simplifies the production of Blu-ray discs with a highly flexible templated approach, reducing the time spent on authoring and QC and removing the need for expensive highly skilled staff. No programming skills are required. Many of the files produced are no longer created manually but are produced by the system, meaning the amount of time spent troubleshooting errors is greatly reduced.

Key Features

Simplified Template- Most of your BD is already setup, ready for you to add your content and configure in the user interface. No more manual editing and copy-pasting code.

Visual Menu Editor – Create, view and edit your menus using simple drag and drop controls.

Import MAT menus – Import a set of regionalized menus produced in ZOOs Media Adaptation Tool into the visual menu editor for even more time savings

Automate production of all menu languages on the disc – Setup your English menus and then import the additional languages using the key settings already applied to English

Manages mosaic creation – BDX handles creation of image mosaics (single files containing all images to be used on the BD) without any need to ever make manual edits.

Optional multiplexor – Configure and build all in BDX, or optionally multiplex using your existing tool to maximize your resources.

BDX is available for license, and is used in ZOO’s highly competitive compression and authoring service.
