Polycom 6.1 user manual Chaptering & Closed Captioning

Chaptering & Closed Captioning

Accordent PresenterPRO includes chaptering and indexing features that enable the content author to automatically create chapters based on prescribed criteria, such as each published slide, or to manually create chapters based on unique criteria, such as a change in subject matter or speaker.

Accordent PresenterPRO also enables the presenter to include closed captioning functionality using RealNetworks’ RealText or SAMI files.

Both chaptering and closed captioning are features that are managed in the Presentation Manager (See Chapter 5). To access these features in the Presentation Manager, however, it is necessary to select an interface that supports these features. If an interface that supports these features is selected, “Available” will appear beside Chaptering and Closed Captioning on the upper right-hand side of the General Screen (See Figure 4-21).

4.5 Slide & PDF Import Screen

Accordent PresenterPRO enables the presenter to synchronize standard Microsoft PowerPoint slides with live or recorded streaming media. As an alternative to PowerPoint, Accordent PresenterPRO also enables users to import PDF files (either multi- or single-page documents) and convert each PDF page into an image that can be distributed over the Internet similar to a converted PPT slide. Using its proprietary conversion process, Accordent PresenterPRO will automatically format imported slides and PDF files and pages for display on the Internet.

The “Slide Import” screen also enables the presenter to:

•Choose whether the imported slides (or PDF pages) will be converted into .gif or .jpg format to achieve optimal quality and file size

•Choose whether to display slide titles to the audience

•Choose whether to enable the audience to navigate through the slide deck
