Slide by slide, MediaSync extracts all the text, speaker notes and slide images, then time-stamps each slide. Next, it sends the data to the VideoLogger, where it is merged with the video metadata from the Panasonic camcorder to create a VDF index file. This index file, and the resulting digitally encoded version of the video, are then handed off to a Virage Video Solution Server (VSS).

X-Files

The VSS stores and makes available the VDF from the VideoLogger. The index file maintains a one-to-one mapping to the digital video file using the time-coded information on the video index and the URL of the digital video. Once the VideoLogger creates the VDF file and begins encoding the digital video, your presentation is ready for VSW.

Lights, Camera, Action!



How VSW Webcasting Works

After I configured the VideoLogger to work with the Osprey capture cards, the Panasonic camcorder and the PowerPoint application, I was ready to take the show on the road. I captured a videotape of our labs and integrated a PowerPoint presentation. VideoLogger combined the presentation and the video, and presented it to the VSS in a VDF file and a Windows Media video file. From there, I accessed the VSW GUI using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5.
