Company description:

More than 15 years ago, Jay Alan Samit formed Jasmine Productions with the goal of combining the power of computer technology with the entertainment value of video. In 1989, Leonard Lebowitz joined Samit as chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Jasmine. The Van Nuys, Calif., company later changed its name in 1991 to Jasmine Multimedia Publishing to reflect its growing involvement in new media such as interactive video, consumer CD-ROMs and entertainment.

Among its more than 300 CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc.

Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser).
 titles are such best-sellers as "Vid Grid," "Kid Vid Grid," "Wild West," "Multimedia Yearbook," "Famous Faces," the "In Motion" series and "How to Create Multimedia." Jasmine Multimedia products are presently being used by millions of consumers, government officials, and business professionals throughout the United States and in 29 countries across the globe.

As a publisher, Jasmine has amassed the world's largest library of video, music and photographs for use in multimedia projects, including more than 2 million stills, 40,000 hours of video and thousands of musical selections. With full multimedia software and hardware development capabilities, Jasmine is able to create and publish a project from concept to the retailer's shelf.

Jasmine's technological breakthroughs include creating the first interactive videodisc videodisc or videodisk, disk used with a special player and television to reproduce both pictures and sound. A videodisc player cannot record television programs off the air for later playback, unlike a videocassette recorder (VCR) or recordable  arcade game (1982) and the first laserdisc-based interactive movie theater (for the 1984 Louisiana World's Fair). Jasmine has also been a leader in multimedia for lottery kiosks, airport information kiosks and theme parks.

Jasmine has worked closely with major corporations such as MCA MCA
