during delivery to enhance scalability and to leverage a greater range of video and audio sources, including phone bridges and closed circuit television. The primary benefits of using out-of-band synchronization include:
•Distribution of non-streaming content can be staggered so that the web-server is not delivering content (e.g. PowerPoint slides) to the entire audience at the exact same moment.
•No additional software needs to be installed on an encoder
•Out-of-band distribution enables a content author to deliver synchronized web content, such as PowerPoint slides, in tandem with non-streaming audio and video, such as closed circuit television.
4.12.4 Selecting In Band & Configuring the PE-Controller
If you are using out-of-band distribution only, please proceed to Section 4.12.7.
Using In-Band distribution requires the PE-Controller, which is a separate install included in Accordent PresenterPRO. The PE-Controller is an application that resides on the encoder and enables Accordent PresenterPRO to communicate with, launch and control the Microsoft and Real encoders. The encoder (and the PE-controller) can be located on a remote system or on the same system that Accordent PresenterPRO is residing.
Prior to completing the in-band fields in the Presentation Wizard, it is first necessary to configure the PE-Controller.
Configuring The PE-Controller
After installing the PE-Controller on the encoding system, launch the PE- Controller. The Accordent PresenterPRO Encoder Controller will appear (See Figure 4-77).
Fig. 4-77
The PE-Controller contains four screens that enable you to configure and manage encoding “jobs,” as follows:
