Chaptering & Closed Captioning
Accordent PresenterPRO includes chaptering and indexing features that enable
the content author to automatically create chapters based on prescribed criteria,
such as each published slide, or to manually create chapters based on unique
criteria, such as a change in subject matter or speaker.
Accordent PresenterPRO also enables the presenter to include closed captioning
functionality using RealNetworks’ RealText or SAMI files.
Both chaptering and closed captioning are features that are managed in the
Presentation Manager (See Chapter 5). To access these features in the
Presentation Manager, however, it is necessary to select an interface that supports
these features. If an interface that supports these features is selected, “Available”
will appear beside Chaptering and Closed Captioning on the upper right-hand side
of the General Screen (See Figure 4-21).

4.5 Slide & PDF Import Screen
Accordent PresenterPRO enables the presenter to synchronize standard Microsoft
PowerPoint slides with live or recorded streaming media. As an alternative to
PowerPoint, Accordent PresenterPRO also enables users to import PDF files
(either multi- or single-page documents) and convert each PDF page into an
image that can be distributed over the Internet similar to a converted PPT slide.
Using its proprietary conversion process, Accordent PresenterPRO will
automatically format imported slides and PDF files and pages for display on the
Internet.
The “Slide Import” screen also enables the presenter to:
• Choose whether the imported slides (or PDF pages) will be
converted into .gif or .jpg format to achieve optimal quality and
file size
• Choose whether to display slide titles to the audience
• Choose whether to enable the audience to navigate through the
slide deck
