This webcast was made using our existing iTV room equipment and Accordent Presenter Pro Enterprise Edition, which was purchased with 2003-2004 HEAF Funds and installed in the Summer of 2004. More information about this product is available. The quality of the video/audio for web attendees was limited during this demonstration because the video was being streamed directly from the encoder computer. In the future, we will configure the video to be streamed through another server running Windows Media Server that can adjust for packet loss and handle larger numbers of simultaneous web attendees.
