Presentation Features
Presentation Features Overview
Presentation features support the ability for end users to stream video and Webcasts directly
from the H.264 using an intuitive Presenter Mode interface. Presenter Mode is based on
layouts defined by an account admin which are covered in this topic. When streaming, the
presenter may dynamically switch between layouts and video inputs without interruption to
the video stream and without the need to restart the player. Layout configuration values may
also be seamlessly switched as well including the background color and image, borders, and
margins. This provides the ability to create very compelling video Webcasts. Note: These
seamless transitions do not apply to changing encoding values within VBAdmin.
This topic covers how to use presentation features to set up layouts, video sources, and so
forth for presentations. How to use Presenter Mode to run a presentation that has been
previously configured by an admin is covered in the Presenter Mode User Guide.
Note: The presentation features discussed in this topic are applicable to the Presenter
encoders (number p/n 9311-1612-100) and any 9000 that has the Presenter Encoder
Feature License (7100-3000) applied (See the System Configuration > Manage
Configuration > Presenter Encoder Feature License topic for more details on how to
install this license). As a reminder, not all features may be present on 9000s with the
Presenter Encoder Feature License installed.
The following video hardware is supported in the Presenter encoder:
•
Slot 1 Dual HDMI(DVI)/VGA Input AVM
