Playing a ScreenCaster Program

Playing a ScreenCaster Program

With ScreenCaster you can:

Add dynamically captured screen shots to a Web Presenter broadcast from various applications running in real time.

Include screen shots of any size, up to the full desktop.

Broadcast a web-based version of a PowerPoint presentation without preprocessing.

Broadcast a PowerPoint presentation in “native” format, including animation and transition effects.

Subscribing to a Program

The easiest way to launch a scheduled program that is not currently playing is to subscribe to that program. When you subscribe to a program, IP/TV Viewer saves the information about the program you want to view and automatically launches a viewer window when it is time for the program to begin.

Note IP/TV Viewer must be running to launch a subscribed program automatically. You can subscribe only to scheduled programs.

To subscribe to a scheduled program, follow these steps:

Step 1 From the IP/TV Viewer main window, display scheduled programs in the Program Listings pane.

Step 2 Choose the program you want to subscribe to and right-click to display the right popup menu. Choose Subscribe. The selected program is now listed in the Subscriptions window. You can also choose View > Select Stream > Subscribe.

A viewer window automatically launches and begins to play the program according to its play schedule.
