Readme:	Short: Scala emulation for Hollywood Author: Andreas Falkenhahn Uploader: andreas airsoftsoftwair de (Andreas Falkenhahn) Type: dev/hwood Version: 1.4 Architecture: m68k-amigaos; ppc-amigaos; ppc-morphos; i386-aros Malibu is a plugin for Hollywood which contains an import filter for Scala presentations made with the classic Scala software for Amiga computers. As soon as Malibu is installed, Hollywood will suddenly be able to show those Scala presentations or compile them. With Malibu it is now possible to run those Scala presentations without the actual classic Amiga hardware. Because the whole emulation runs on top of Hollywood's multimedia application layer you can run Scala presentations on every platform supported by Hollywood. In many cases the quality of the pictures that Malibu displays is much better than the original Scala quality because Scala often had to remap many pictures with very different colors to a 8-bit display which resulted in a massive loss of color information. With Malibu, however, all graphics are shown in true colour. Malibu emulates nearly the whole Scala command set and supports all Scala versions from 1.0 up to Scala InfoChannel 500 which was the last Amiga version of Scala. Emulation is done by the El Capitan microkernel which tries to achieve the best performance possible on the system used. For example, the next page is already calculated while the current page is on the display. Complex transition effects can also be pre-calculated and then displayed smoothly. Scala is a program which helped the Amiga to become a real Multimedia wonder. There were no products for a long long time that could beat an Amiga with Scala. Therefore Scala was widely used in all different production fields, from movies and television to big shows. Everyone who has worked with Scala knows what powers it has. But this power is only possible because Scala is very hard-coded to the Amiga's custom chips which leads to the problem that it does not run on modern Amiga systems or other platforms. For many years all sorts of users complained that there was no Scala that runs RTG compatible. This time is over now. Malibu revives Scala in a completely system-friendly way. Builds of this plugin for other platforms (Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux) are available from the official Hollywood portal which is online at http://www.hollywood-mal.com/
