during delivery to enhance scalability and to leverage a greater range of video and
audio sources, including phone bridges and closed circuit television. The primary
benefits of using out-of-band synchronization include:
• Distribution of non-streaming content can be staggered so that the web-server
is not delivering content (e.g. PowerPoint slides) to the entire audience at the
exact same moment.
• No additional software needs to be installed on an encoder
• Out-of-band distribution enables a content author to deliver synchronized
web content, such as PowerPoint slides, in tandem with non-streaming audio
and video, such as closed circuit television.
4.12.4 Selecting In Band & Configuring the PE-Controller
If you are using out-of-band distribution only, please proceed to Section 4.12.7.
Using In-Band distribution requires the PE-Controller, which is a separate install
included in Accordent PresenterPRO. The PE-Controller is an application that
resides on the encoder and enables Accordent PresenterPRO to communicate
with, launch and control the Microsoft and Real encoders. The encoder (and the
PE-controller) can be located on a remote system or on the same system that
Accordent PresenterPRO is residing.
Prior to completing the in-band fields in the Presentation Wizard, it is first
necessary to configure the PE-Controller.
Configuring The PE-Controller
After installing the PE-Controller on the encoding system, launch the PE-
Controller. The Accordent PresenterPRO Encoder Controller will appear (See
Figure 4-77).

The PE-Controller contains four screens that enable you to configure and manage
encoding “jobs,” as follows:
