The PresenterNet Advantage

PowerPoint™ or Flash MultiMedia Presentations

PresenterNet web conferencing users select from a wide variety of media, including PowerPoint and much more. Slides displayed to audiences may be created from MS Word documents, Excel Spreadsheets, Adobe PDF material, JPEG photo images, Flash movies, and even multi-page printable documents.

One key to this flexibility is PresenterNet's support of Macromedia Flashpaper, a program that converts any printable document to Flash format. Conversion to Flash produces compact, efficient file sizes that execute quickly and smoothly.

Web Conferencing audience members view all Macromedia Flashpaper slides with a special viewer that enables them to zoom in or out, and to scroll through larger media. This gives all participants the option of adjusting the size of displayed material to their own comfort level for viewing.

The ability for participants to adjust image size enables presenters to include large documents and media that would not otherwise be viewable as slides. Items like flowcharts, maps, organizational diagrams, and complex technical drawings add to presentation quality, but often cannot fit into PowerPoint format. By enabling audience members to adjust size, PresenterNet's Macromedia Flashpaper slides make these items clearly readable.

Adding multi-media through Macromedia Flashpaper is a unique advantage for PresenterNet users. Most other Flash-based systems permit only PowerPoint, eliminating many media types that would enhance audience understanding. Users of non-Flash systems commonly avoid multi-media because their large file size leads to slow Internet execution.

The Importance of Multi-Media

Effective web conferencing presenters know that there are many items and concepts that cannot be explained without actually displaying them. Showing an actual letter, or a large drawing for example, is often the only way to express certain points. In addition, research indicates that presentations that entertain and maintain user focus result in greater audience retention. That's why PresenterNet provides the greatest flexibility of media choice in the industy.
