Overview
Rich media presentations include those with audio, video, graphics, animation and other
multimedia features like synchronized PowerPoint slides. The Portal Server can display live
and stored rich media presentations created by VBrick's VBPresenter PowerPoint Add-In.
VBPresenter presentations run in Internet Explorer only. Live VBPresenter presentations
like the one shown in Figure 19 are available for viewing from the
Live Broadcasts
page;
stored presentation are available from the
Video Library
page (and have a special icon). Like
other content, rich media presentations can only be seen by those viewers who have
appropriate permissions. This document explains how to configure the Portal Server to work
with VBPresenter. The VBPresenter User Guide explains in detail how to configure and use
VBPresenter.
Note VBPresenter v2.x works with VBrick's WM or MPEG-4 appliances and uses the
Windows Media Player interface. VBPresenter v3.x supports VBrick WM video only.
It delivers an advanced interactive viewer interface using Microsoft's Silverlight
technology. VBPresenter v3.x requires VBDNA v4.2 or above for direct streaming
from a WM appliance to viewers. Earlier versions of firmware are acceptable when
streaming via a service or from a Windows Media Server.
