Developing your presentation
NKD is prepared to develop from the ground up, providing you with the pre-production planning needed and assisting with such key decisions as: technologies used to get the message across, deciding on media type and delivery platform, design and technical specifications, and budgeting. We provide services for all phases of production for multimedia projects with our experience ranging from corporate to entertainment.

Types of interactive presentations
Talking in terms of basics, there are three different types of presentations. 1. Interactive - allows the end user to participate by selecting or entering information. 2. Linear Self-Running - presentation plays from beginning to end without stopping. Similar to a video tape. 3. Linear On Command - much like a slide presentation. There is a beginning and an end but presentation is advanced manually.

Making your CD easy to play
We program all of our CD-ROM presentations to "auto-run" after placing them in a CD drive. If the CD needs to download a plug-in (Apple Quicktime, Adobe Acrobat etc.) the presentation automatically detects whether the plug-in is present, then downloads it if necessary. If specified, we can also make CD presentations to run on either a Windows or Macintosh environment.

Hyperlinking CDs to your web site
Hyperlinks can be added to the interactivity of your presentation for easy access to your web site. When clicked, the viewer's default web browser is opened and the specific URL and specific page on your web site is accessed.

This feature is especially beneficial when the pricing or specifics of your product or service frequently change. The permanent information is displayed on your CD, while linking to the changing information located on your web site. The result - a longer shelf life for your cd.
