Estimating the term…
A webcasting system and method for presenting multimedia content to viewers over the internet. The user (creator) of the webcast presentation is able to create and send the webcast to viewers using a simple, web-based process. The webcast includes a video presentation and slide presentation. Video and slide presentation files are automatically encoded and uploaded to a media server, without the user needing to understand file formats of the webcast content or how the files are to be compressed for efficient storage and transmission. The synchronization and editing of the video and slide presentations is made efficient by separately storing or buffering the slide file at the viewer's system before the video is streamed to the viewer's system. Slide files prepared in a structured storage format (PowerPoint) are automatically converted to JPG format in order to more efficiently transmit the presentation to the viewer.
In a computer network for transmitting a multimedia program to one or more program recipients, the network including a server system and a recipient system, wherein the multimedia program includes a first media program and a second media program, the first media program having plural program components that are synchronized with the second media program so that each component appears at predetermined times during the second media program, a method for transmitting the multimedia program to each recipient, comprising:
A webcast system for downloading a webcast program to a viewer,
A computer network for transmitting a multimedia program to one or more program recipients, wherein the multimedia program includes a first media program and a second media program, the first media program having plural program components that are synchronized with the second media program, the network comprising:
In a computer network for transmitting a multimedia program from a program producer to one or more program viewers, the network including a producer system, a server system and a viewer system, wherein the multimedia program includes a multi-view slide program and a video program, the slide program having multiple slide views that are synchronized with the video program so that individual slides appear at predetermined times during the video program, a method for transmitting the multimedia program to each viewer, comprising:
A method for transmitting a multimedia presentation to recipients over the internet, each recipient having a display device for viewing the presentation and a speaker device for hearing the presentation, the method comprising:
In a computer network for transmitting a multimedia program from a program producer to one or more program recipients, the network including a producer system, a server system and a recipient system, wherein the multimedia program includes a multi-view slide program and a video program, wherein the slide program has multiple slide views that are synchronized with the video program so that individual slides appear at predetermined times during the video program, and wherein the slide program is initially stored as a structured data file at the producer system, a method for transmitting the multimedia program to each recipient, comprising:
