Accordent PresenterPro offers a greater range of possibilities and complexity than the Accordent Capture Station, which was designed with simplicity in mind.
Expert presenters familiar with streaming technologies may find that PresenterPRO has features that make it a viable alternative to the default Capture Station application.
In short, PresenterPRO offers a step-by-step content wizard whereby you are guided through the process of creating customized presentations for your end-users. Once uploaded your PowerPoint presentation into PresenterPRO, the individual slides are are immediately converted into web optimized images for Internet delivery.
You can then add many additional presentation features, such as live chat, polling, surveys, and even an "e-mail a question" functionality. The input gathered from your viewing audience(s) interaction is tabulated in real-time, and can be either broadcast back to the live audience or stored for future use.
In PresenterPRO you can also decide whether and how to customize the presentation interface by either leveraging the existing templates collection or by assembling manually the components you need. Custom navigation and personalized branding of the presentation delivery interface are additional options that make PresenterPRO a critical element in the packaging and delivery of such media-rich presentations.
With the ability to record synchronized events and, customize interface components and implement precise presentation edits, PresenterPRO offers a truly advanced corporate communication design, packaging and delivery system.
PresenterPRO features also a video window in the presentation manager which enables the content author to review on-demand video files while synchronizing or editing non-streaming content at the same time. This is very similar to the experience of authoring content in PresenterPLUS.
In terms of compatibility PresenterPRO will work with:
- Any web server, whether it uses PHP or ASP
- Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox and Netscape browsers
- Windows, Unix and Linux servers
- All Windows Media and RealMedia files, regardless of their length
Furthermore, PresenterPRO doesn't require any plugins for the end-user to access your content.
In short PresenterPRO appears to be a useful option for those looking for greater control of their web-casting than is afforded by the simpler, easier-to-operate Capture Station software. With advanced publishing and streaming options, along with the ability to synchronize and easily edit content, PresenterPRO offers a good range of features for serious, regular web presentation.
