Multimedia & Enhanced CDs

NEW ! Enhanced DVD Contact us for more info

An Enhanced CD contains both audio and CD-ROM data - which could be photos, video, web-links, interactive catalogues, lyrics, software...

SRT was a pioneer in this area, being one of the first mastering companies in the UK to offer inclusive Enhanced CD-single packages as far back as 1995.

Recently SRT's Enhanced CDs for BBC Music Worldwide ( The Tweenies, Bob The Builder ) have topped the UK charts.

Our expertise in this area has proven itself invaluable; the "black art" of making a duplication-ready cross-platform ECD is still widely misunderstood. Even now, only 1 in 4 CDR "masters" supplied to SRT are suitable for duplication. The situation with Enhanced CD and it's equivalents is even more confused.

SRT can cut through all this for you providing a complete range of options, from simply assembling audio and ROM-data into a working master, through to complete authoring using the industry-standard Macromedia Director, and video digitisation using our broadcast-standard editor.

In particular we have developed a unique 'fast turnaround' package for producing Enhanced CD-singles, which allows us to offer this service for a significantly lower price than our competitors.

Example projects taking advantage of these services include Enhanced CDs for a surprisingly diverse range of customers:

2 Enhanced CD albums for schlock-rockers Cradle Of Filth
a remix project featuring, amongst others, Paul Oakenfold ( www.dj-empire.com )
the re-release of 80's pop classic Star Trekkin', complete with video
a live album for ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett
singles for The Porcupine Tree, LFO and Tzant ( best known for their hit "Sounds Of The Wickedness" )
an interactive exhibition guide for the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford
a video-presentation for classical trumpeter Chrispian Steele-Perkins
Previously un-issued live film footage of 60's rockers The Pretty Things
A video or multi-media press-pack is a great way to make a demo CD stand out from the crowd, and SRT offers special packages to new bands interested in this possibility.
