Applications FAQsWhat are the benefits of webcasting rich media presentations?
Webcasting a rich media presentation enables presenters and lecturers the opportunity to share information with geographically dispersed audiences very cost-effectively. By sharing the information over the Web, travel costs can be reduced because presenters can use the web to deliver and share information. In addition, using the Web means that presenters are not using audio conference calls or videoconferences to share information - a significant cost savings.
Where is Mediasite used?
Mediasite is used in a variety of industries, organizations and institutions that require a quick and easy way to present on the web. Mediasite is the chosen application for fast-paced, cost-conscious organizations ranging from medicine, manufacturing, and retail to government agencies, professional associations and educational institutions.How can Mediasite be used in a Training and/or Human Resources environment?
In corporations, Mediasite can be used as a cost-effective and easy way to train employees on product information, company policies or ways of doing business. For example, a human resources department that needs to train all employees on a new policy can simply make a rich presentation explaining the policy and give all employees access to that rich presentation on the corporate intranet. This saves the human resources managers from giving the same presentation multiple times, and can also reduce the amount of travel required to make sure all employees are familiar with the new policy.
How can Mediasite be used for Product Marketing?
Marketing managers within corporations can use Mediasite to create rich presentations on new product releases so that rather than travel to multiple corporate locations, a rich presentation with the information can be made available over the corporate intranet where sales people and other marketing employees can find it. By using Mediasite for product marketing related tasks, corporations can save the travel costs by simply storing the information online where the employees can reach it.
How is Mediasite used For Executive Briefings?
Mediasite can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional executive briefings, which typically involve an audio bridge to bring all participants together. Since Mediasite transmits the rich presentation over the corporate Intranet and Internet, it avoids the cost of the audio bridge, using the inexpensive alternative of the Web to distribute the information instead.
Can Mediasite be used for Conference Webcasting?
Mediasite can also be used to share conference presentations as well as other keynote speeches that require individuals unable to attend in person to view the presentation or keynote speaker event live from the Web. The rich presentation is also stored as a file for later on-demand access by viewers who cannot attend the event. Further, any conference that must be shared to a large audience, particularly those that disseminate information from one to many, can benefit from using Mediasite.
How can Mediasite be applied in an Education setting?
Mediasite can be a component of a distance education or online learning program. Mediasite can be used to capture lectures and make them available online, either live or on-demand. In addition, school districts can use them to maintain community relations, capturing superintendents' communications for the parents to review or putting school board meetings on the Web.
How does Mediasite compare to other methods for putting presentations on the web?
Mediasite is the quickest and easiest way to share presentations. Mediasite's presenter-friendly design allows presenters and lecturers to concentrate on creating their presentation and giving it, rather than work through additional time consuming authoring and post-production steps to get their presentations on the web. With Mediasite, you simply connect your PC or content device to the capture station and give the presentation as you normally would. As you give it, the presentation is streamed live over the Web to viewers. And when you're done, the capture station has saved a copy of your presentation so that viewers can access it on-demand at their convenience.
Can Mediasite be used to capture presentations from a videoconference?
The capture station can be connected to an endpoint or set top unit in a videoconferencing system to capture the audio and video of the participants along with their presentation data. The content can be made available for viewing by end users over the Web.
