[AG-TECH] Questions about remote presentation technology software

[Michael Daw]

You can add to this list ScreenStreamer, which (as the name implies) screens a PC's desktop screen to a multicast (or unicast bridged) session and also to a web page for users who don't have/want to install the software. It's very close to an initial release, but, until then you can access it at: http://memetic-vre.net/software/ScreenStreamer/. Watch this space for the official release within the month!

> What technology do you prefer to display a presentation over

> 
> For instance, do you use VNC external to the venue client by

> VNC server for others to view from a VNC client or do you choose to
> upload a
> presentation to the venue client?

> What other methods do you use to display a presentation over

> Grid
> and why?
> 
> As I am experiencing VNC client drop off from the external 
> VNC server we
> use, I would like to consider other options.  The VNC server has its
> firewall turned off during presentations.
