(3) Multi-Story Function
If there are a number of subplots or side stories to a show, you can change its flow by
choosing story developments beforehand, or by pulling the menu at each divergence in the
story to choose your favorite stories.
A. Main story and side story function
By selecting stories, it is possible to reproduce not only the main story but a sub story
that develops as a supporting role, just by choosing one.
B. Multi-Version Function
It is possible to edit and reproduce a mixture of different versions, such as a theater
version, a complete version and a director's cut version, without causing any breaks in
the story.
C. Highlighted Scene Scanning Function
Scenes of your favorite actors/actresses, musicals and so on can be reproduced without
causing any breaks in the story.
D. Branching Story Function (Simple Interactive Function)
As if it were a role playing game, it is possible to develop the story in an interactive way.
For example, in a drama, you can choose the characters' next action from the menu list
one after another to create a different story and/or a different ending.
