Actionable Events empower you to exercise the finest control over the presentation of your multimedia content. You can control precisely what happens at every step  down to millisecond accuracy. Combined with Imatronics' unique multimedia actions with video galleries, multiple movies, slide shows, 3D sound visualizations, text and voice narration, and much more, it is easy for you to create the most engaging and best-valued multimedia experiences!</p><br /> <p>iMedia Connect allows you to create powerful connections between elements in your multimedia presentations, operating systems, and a wide variety of other systems simply by visually drawing lines between them or by using other easy-to-understand operations. This represents a new way to work with your computer  create powerful and dynamic relationships between elements using very simple, intuitive and easy-to-understand shape drawing and drag-and-drop operations. Use iMedia Connect to easily create, edit and manage interactive hotspots, actionable events, interactive maps and compasses and many other resources.</p> <br /> <p>We have the talent, experience and commitment required to continue our string of innovations and will be bringing <br /> you more exciting solutions. </p></td><br /><br /> </tr> <tr> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"> <td class="h2">Leadership</td> </tr> <tr> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"> <td class="maincontent"> <p>Dr. Frank Ekpar is an international award-winning scientist, prolific inventor and experienced software architect.
