SMIL

Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language

Allows for the integration of independent multimedia objects in one synchronized presentation.

What can SMIL do for you?

• Associate multimedia objects with hyperlinks.
• Describe the spatial layout of the presentation on the screen.
• Describe the temporal relationships in a presentation.

All SMIL tags are XML tags and thus must follow the strict XML form.

The various tag sets define the attributes of the multimedia objects.

Synchronization and Time delay of media audio objects:
<audio src="audio1" />
<audio begin="5s" src="audio2" />

 <par system-bitrate="40000">
