ABSTRACT
In this paper, an intuitive authoring system and player for interactive non-linear video called SIVA Suite is presented for demonstration. Such videos are enriched by additional content. Possible forms of additional content are plaintext, richtext, images and videos. Interactivity is implemented based upon selection buttons which allow the user to follow different plotlines. Additional forms of interactivity are realized as clickable objects in the video and a table of contents for the video. The software provides a tool for manually cutting videos and an automated shot detection. The non-linear flow of the video can be designed using a scene graph with fork nodes. Editors for text and images support the user in adding information to the video. A finished video project is exported to an XML file with a specific schema and Flash video (flv) files. The player processes the XML file, plays the interactive video and shows additional contents. It can be customized to the requirements of the presentation of the video and the corporate design of the homepage the video is embedded in.

Towards an easy to use authoring tool for interactive non-linear video
With growing bandwidths in the Internet and seemingly unlimited storage capacities on web servers, media became more and more important in the daily use of the World Wide Web. While about ten years ago only text and images with small file sizes (and as ...
Interactive non-linear video: definition and XML structure
DocEng '12: Proceedings of the 2012 ACM symposium on Document engineeringA literature review on the term "interactive video" and "interactive non-linear video" revealed different levels of interaction in varying definitions. We give a formal definition of the term "interactive non-linear video" to clarify the elements and ...
SIVA suite: an open-source framework for hypervideos
The SIVA Suite is an open source framework for the creation, playback, and administration of hypervideos. Allowing the definition of complex navigational structures, our hypervideos are well suited for different scenarios. Compared to traditional linear ...
