Introduction to MediaXtreme I3
When finding an unfulfilled need, Keywest Technology developed the MediaXtreme I3 (I3 = Interactive,
Intelligent, Integrated) Touch Screen Application creation tool. I3 gives the average or the advanced
user the power to create high-end graphic-rich touch screen modules on any player operating with any
touch screen hardware. No longer does the interactive display need to be embedded code within
proprietary files and no longer is the user subject to the limits of AV Boardroom control panels. I3 finally
combines the best of digital signage with the best of interactivity.
I3 is a software application that will run on any media player level PC
including Keywest Technology’s MXA, Media POD, and Enterprise
player families. It may be purchased as a software only package or as a
complete turn-key system including the touch screen, player, and
associated software.
To qualify as interactive, a display must allow the customer to incite a
reaction--using a touch screen glass module attached to a video screen
that becomes a powerful possibility. I3 allows the user to layer and zone
their own graphics to create a unique customer experience enhancing
their customer’s visits or even assisting in sales.
How It’s Done
The I3 interface was designed for ease of use without hours of studying a manual.
It works on the concept that images are zones on one layer and interactive hot spots are zones on an
upper, transparent layer. To create an interactive screen, a few easy steps must be taken:
Select Your Target Screen Size
Use the OVERALL SETUP tab to select your monitor aspect ratio and orientation. Our sample will use
portrait 768 x 1366.
Notice the Editor window takes on the selected aspect for “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” creation.
Next, choose an image or video file for the background field on the
touch screen by clicking the selection box down arrow to browse all
available drives. Once the background is selected, it appears in the
editor window.
A designer could add more frames on this image layer—picture boxes, video boxes, text boxes or even
pre-made buttons.
For this example though, the surfboard will
be the target. Clicking the HOT SPOTS
box will activate the Hot Spot layer.
The editor screen takes on a translucent
mask indicating hot spot mode is active.
Next, the operator uses the hot spot
selection window to add a hot spot to the
screen.
Double-clicking on the Hot Spot square or rectangle shape will dro
