Katre  \nCenter for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), A Scientific Society under Ministry of Information Technology, Government of India, Pune, India.  \ne-mail: dinesh@cdac.ernet.in  \nAbstract:  \nNational Multimedia Resource Center is sponsored by Ministry of Information Technology, Government of India and established in 1998 at C-DAC. The center is entrusted with the task to identify and propagate cost effective applications of multimedia among the masses. This paper is a documentation of research and experiments that went into the development of QuickMM Album Authoring Tool (Pre-authored Multimedia Template) designed to meet the above goal.  \nIn India, multimedia technology is used largely by a monotypic class, which comprises of wealthy people and qualified IT professionals. The newly identified class of ‘prospective’multimedia users comprises of people coming from diverse backgrounds and more precisely, thenon-technical professionals. They do not use multimedia, as neither they afford the multimedia authoring software nor understand scripting lingo.  \nThe project intends to seek solutions to the following:  \n1. Enabling the non-technical professionals to use multimedia  \n2. Identifying multimedia applications having mass appeal  \n3. Reducing the development time and production cost of multimedia applications  \nLooking at this scenario, the need for a simplified approach to multimedia authoring and content creation is strongly felt. Keeping this need in view, we have developed a software called QuickMM Album Author as a humble beginning in this direction.‘Album’ is a metaphor used for conceiving the pre-authored template. The template offers a standard structure for content integration and navigation flow with some flexibility to allow customizing. It has predefined pockets for integrating various multimedia components. The tool is suitable for non-technical professionals and it enables them in delivering certain types of multimedia applications very efficiently. A collection of decorative designs of Indian culture called Shaili is developed which complements the features and applications of QuickMM Album Author. Both the tools are designed to form Low Cost Multimedia Enterprise Kit.  \nIntroduction:  \nIn India, Multimedia is not spreading beyond the affluent class of consumers and qualified developers due to lack of cost effectiveness, easy-to-use multimedia solutions and applications with mass appeal. The primary objective of this project is to propagate multimedia further down in the middle class society. Fifty years ago India’s middle class was small and insignificant. Today, India’s middle class is the largest in the world (Around 25% of India’s total population), almost equal to the population of the United States (284 million) . Proportion of trained multimedia professionals is meager to meet the multimedia needs of such a vast middle class population. Therefore, first action point is to identify applications with mass appeal and build solutions, which could be used by middle class users at affordable price. If properly supported by low cost multimedia templates, these users will be able to sustain small-scale multimedia enterprises.  \nScope:  \nFigure 1.0 illustrated below aptly depicts the proportional relationship among the inter-dependent components, which influence the cost of a multimedia project, product and service.  \nFigure 1.0 Identification of Scope for Low Cost Multimedia Solutions  \nThe essence of the illustration is summarized as under-  \n1.
