A few questions about Connect Pro

Hi. We're interested in implementing a solution for webinars where we do web instructional sessions (continuing education for adults). We have an instructor who wants to do a webinar with the following requirements:
She wants to have a classroom of on-site participants but also be able to broadcast it for users across the web. How can this be done with Connect Pro? A webcam is stationary, so we'll need to have a camera that follows her around while she talks and stream that via Connect Pro somehow.
She needs to share videos with the students. How good is the quality of video shared via Connect Pro?
Do all participants need to have computer headsets to be able to talk to her? Or does the built-in microphones/speakers in computers create an echo problem?
If she has two other people who will talk during the presentation, do each of them need to have a named license?
Thank you for your help.

I will happily share some experiences teaching Connect Live and through remote sessions:
Teaching a mix can be a tricky balance. best to have someone managing the Q&A chats and fileding quesitons. There are some highend video conference cameras that automaticall track; it may be more cost effective having a live person track her movements through the room.
The video shared may not be HD quality. The better the quality captured, the better they will see. Overall, the video I've experienced is on par with standard web videos. Better quality will require more bandwidth.
Headsets are recommended. If they use the built-in mikes, then at the very LEAST they should use headphones to minimize the echo issue. If those speaking are in the room, they should definitely use headsets.
No, they don't need a special license to speak. Microphone rights can be given to individual participants. Presenters automatically have those rights.
Hope these answers help.

  • Few questions about mac pro before buying

    Hello all!
    I may be buying a mac pro in a month or so and have a few questions about it.
    1. ) Any one know when Apple may release the latest mac pro? Don't wanna buy some thing that'll be significantly obsolete in a few days
    2. ) Is it possible to use SATA optical drives internally? I have a SATA blu ray drive I'd like to take from my PC, if that's possible.
    3. ) Is it possible to get a graphics cards better than the 8800 GT for video games? (For use in OS X)
    4. ) Finally, is there a significant performance difference between Apple's seemingly super expensive RAM and 3rd party RAM? (Other than the heat syncs)
    Thanks for any replies.

    1. We have no idea when Apple will release any product until it's released. This is a user-to-user site so we have no more information about future products than you do.
    2. Yes, it's possible. There are two additional SATA ports on the motherboard.
    3. The only graphic cards are those provided by Apple when you order the computer as well as the non-Apple supplied ATI HD-3870 Mac/PC card. The 8800 and 3870 have close performance specs. You can find some benchmarks at Bare Feats.
    4. There's no difference between the RAM Apple installs and what you can purchase on the open market. As long as the RAM meets the required specifications and has the requisite heat sink it will work just fine.

  • Few Questions about macbook pros

    Is the transition from windows to mac easy or does it take awhile?
    Did you previous windows users get used to the minimizing of windows,I find it alittle weird?
    Another question,Why do people ask if they should get a macbook or macbook pro if price and screen size isn't an issue?Is there some sort of difference?
    What is Rosetta?
    How many windows can you have minimized?
    Are the widgets I see on apple's site the only ones that are out or are there more?
    I do alot of downloading,will macbook be perfect for this?
    When people say mac doesn't have viruses,does that mean because not many people use mac or because it has a well built OS?
    Is there spyware for macs?

    Is the transition from windows to mac easy or does it
    take awhile?
    It depends how long you have been using windows....
    How many windows can you have minimized?
    Lots, and then some
    Are the widgets I see on apple's site the only ones
    that are out or are there more?
    there are more out there but I am sure most are listed on Apple's site
    I do alot of downloading,will macbook be perfect for
    this?
    It depends what you mean by downloading. If you mean you download a lot of software/music/movies etc illegally using PTP, MIRC, Torrents etc, then I would say no: it is generally more straight forward on Windows, so I've heard.
    When people say mac doesn't have viruses,does that
    mean because not many people use mac or because it
    has a well built OS?
    possibly a bit of both but I reckon it's mainly because people don't bother making viruses for macs (yet....)

  • A few questions about Macbook Pro 13inch batteries.

    Hey, my Macbook Pro just arrived today, and I was wondering about general battery care:
    Is it okay to leave it plugged in while using it?
    How come there's a longer power cord and a shorter one? Is it just for convenience?
    How long does a Macbook usually take to charge to 100%?
    Is it okay to leave it plugged in all night?
    Sorry if I sound stupid, but I'm not very tech-savvy. Thanks for any help!
    xx

    Yes, you can leave it plugged in.  Once in a while however, you have to use it under it's own power, at least till it reaches 80% to keep your battery in optimal condition.
    As for the power cord, you answered that one yourself " for convenience "
    How long does it take long to charge all depends on how low the battery was when you charged it.
    Yes, it's ok to leave your Macbook plugged in all night.  Just make sure you use it under it's own power once in a while.  You don't have to fully discharge it which might do more harm than good.

  • A few questions about my MacBook Pro?

    Hey guys, I have a few questions about Virtual Machines and a few other random questions.
    1. Which one is the most "complete" in its features when compared to a plain install of Win. 7?
    2. Which VM should I purchase?
    I have a 15" late 2012 MacBook Pro with a 2.6 ghz intel i7, 16gb ram and a 256gb SSD. (I was planning on running it off of an external hard drive— if that is possible)
    3. I have 206.12 GB of 255.2 GB free— should I just use boot camp instead?
    4. If I use Boot Camp, do I have to delete the data that's on my Mac currently to install Win. 7 or can I partition my current drive and keep my data?
    5. What is the "other" data that's taking up 25.51 GB of space on my SSD? (I have the same problem on my iPhone, but that's a different problem.)
    Thank you very much.

    You posted your Boot Camp questions in the MacBook Pro forum. Try asking in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • Few questions about recovery on P100-400

    Good evening all,
    I have a few questions about recovering my laptop...
    So, I was thinking if the only way to clean my entire disk is to use the Recovery DVD?
    I ask this because I think that the computer becomes too "heavy" with all the applications it came with. So I was wondering if I can format the Hard Drive instead of recover it.
    If I format the drive do I loose warranty? Is there any future problem related to genuine software?
    It's possible to install Windows XP Pro (and not the actual windows xp media center) with the original Operative system's product key?
    Thank you.
    Best Regards.

    Hello
    I will try to give you few answers and I hope it will help you.
    > So, I was thinking if the only way to clean my entire disk is to use the Recovery DVD?

    I do not understand what you mean with I can format the Hard Drive instead of recover it but you can do follow: install OS using delivered recovery media and after doing this remove all applications you do not need. After doing this maybe your notebook will not be heavy anymore.
    > If I format the drive do I loose warranty?
    NO.
    > Is there any future problem related to genuine software?
    I do not know what you mean exactly
    > It's possible to install Windows XP Pro (and not the actual windows xp media center) with the original Operative system's product key?
    No. Something like this is not possible. Product key belongs to delivered and preinstalled OS.

  • A few questions about using PS3 with 27" iMac display...

    Hey people, I had a few questions about how I could possibly get my ps3 connected to the iMac's 27" screen. First of all, could you guys list some adapters that would be able to convert the HDMI to Mini displayport? That would be great. The only one I know of is that Dr. Bott Digital Video link.
    Okay secondly, I was wondering if I do get the the ps3 connected with the iMac's display with an adapter to convert HDMI to mini DisplayPort, would it be in HD? Would I be able to play ps3 games or watch blu-ray movies in 1080p HD format?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    This has been asked a number of times here since the intro of the 27" iMac. The answer is very expensive US$149 or more converters and sometimes even more expensive to maintain the resolutions that you seek.

  • Few questions about Airport Extreme/Express

    I have a few questions about Airport extreme/express:
    1 Can you access hard drive trough express?
    2 I have cable NOT wireless modem. What would be the best option (speed-wise) to connect to internet- connect modem to Extreme and access internet wirelessly from it? To connect modem to Extreme and imac?
    3 How fast is read/ write from hard drive connected to Extreme?
    4 How many hard drives can you connect to Extreme (or Express if that is possible)?
    5 Can you remotely sync Ipod nano/ shuffle using Extreme?
    I really hate wire clutter around my desk. What I intend to do is to connect hard drives and printer to Airport Extreme and access them remotely. That would leave empty desk:).
    Thanks

    1. You cannot connect a hard drive to the Airport Express USB port.
    2. The speed of wireless networking is faster than the speed of most cable internet services. Therefore, you won't notice any difference in your internet connection speed between (a) a cabled connection directly between Mac and modem or (b) a wireless connection between Mac and base station and modem.
    3. Apple has not published any specs on the speed of hard drive access for the Airport Extreme N Base Station. Several people have posted their own measurements (do a search in this discussion forum), and generally those results are not very good.
    4. Apple has not placed a limit on the number of drives you can attach to the Airport Extreme N Base Station (with use of a hub). How many do you want to connect?
    5. You cannot remotely sync an iPod using the Extreme Base Station.

  • A few questions about the ETF

    Hello, I have Verizon Home Phone Connect and had a few questions about canceling the service.
    1. When I cancel the service will I have to pay the ETF right then and there? Or will I get a bill for it?
    2. After paying the ETF will I have to return the device or can I keep it?
    3. Once I have paid the ETF will I receive an invoice (or receipt) as proof that I have paid?
    4. Will canceling affect my credit negatively?

    1, You will get a bill for the ETF as well as the final month of service.
    2. You can keep the device as long as you are past the initial 14 day term.  If you purchased from third party retailer, that retailer may have additional conditions.  Check your paperwork.
    3. Yes.  The same as any other payment you make.
    4. No, as long as you pay in full all that you owe.

    WHAT HAPPENS IF MY POSTPAY SERVICE IS CANCELED BEFORE THE END OF MY CONTRACT TERM?
    If you're signing up for Postpay Service, you're agreeing to subscribe to a line of Service either on a month–to–month basis or for a minimum contract term, as shown on your receipt or order confirmation.  (If your Service is suspended without billing, that time doesn't count toward completing your contract term.) Once you've completed your contract term, you'll automatically become a customer on a month–to–month basis for that line of Service. If you cancel a line of Service, or if we cancel it for good cause, during its contract term, you'll have to pay an early termination fee.  If your contract term results from your purchase of an advanced device, your early termination fee will be $350 minus $10 for each full month of your contract term that you complete. Otherwise, your early termination fee will be $175 minus $5 for each full month of your contract term that you complete.  Cancellations will become effective on the last day of that month's billing cycle, and you are responsible for all charges incurred until then.  Also, if you bought your wireless device from an authorized agent or third–party vendor, you should check whether they charge a separate termination fee.

  • A few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx

    i have a few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx , how much better is the dka790gx compaired to the ka790gx ? . how much difference does the ACC function make to overclocking etc , i plan on getting a phenom II 940BE or 720BE . i already have the ka790gx so would it be worth building another system using the dka790gx mobo , or should i keep what i already have and just change the cpu ?

    It's largely irrelevant what other boards had VRM issues other than the KA790GX - the fact is it died at stock settings. Since there is little cost difference between the more robust DKA790GX (or Platinum if you really need 1394) why bother with the proven weakling? There are other examples around of the KA not having a robust power section.  There's no way I would use even a 95W TDP CPU in the KA and absolutely not O/C.....!
    As for the credentials of Custom PC, I have generally found their reviews accurate and balanced, and echo my own findings where applicable. If a little too infrequent.
    The fact that the KA has such a huge VRM heatsink leads me to my other comments on the Forum, particularly regarding the "fudge" aspect:
    """Henry is spot on - the notion that adding a heatsink to the top of the D2PAK or whatever MOSFETS is effective is virtually worthless. The device's die thermal junction is the tab on the device back - which is always against the PCB pad. The majority of heat is therefore dissipated in to the board, and the fact that the epoxy plastic encapsulation gets hot is simply due to the inability of the heat to be conducted away from the device die via the tab. Not sure when Epoxy become an effective conductor of heat.... Good practice is to increase the size of the PCB pad (or "land" in American) such that the enlarged PCB copper area acts as an adequate heatsink. This is still not as effective as clamping a power device tab to an actual piece of ali or copper, but since the devices used are SMD devices, this is not possible. However, the surface area required to provide sufficient PCB copper area to act as a heatsink for several devices isn't available in the current motherboard layouts. Where industrial SBC designs differ in this respect is to place the VRM MOSFETs on the back of the PCB on very enlarged PCB pads - where real estate for components is not an issue.
    Gigabyte's UD3 2oz copper mainboards sound like a good idea, on the face of it. However, without knowing how they have connected the device tabs to where and what remains a mystery. I suspect it is more hype than solution, although there will be some positive effect. From an electrical perspective, having lower resistance connecting whatever to whatever (probably just a 0V plane) is no bad thing.
    The way the likes of ASUS sort of get round the problem is to increase the sheer number of MOSFET devices and effectively spread the heat dissipation over a larger physical area. This works to a degree, there is the same amount of heat being dissipated, but over several more square inches. The other advantage of this is that each leg of the VRM circuit passes less current and therefore localised heat is reduced. Remember that as well as absolute peak operating temperature causing reduced component life, thermal cycling stresses the mechanical aspects of components (die wire bonds for example) as well as the solder joints on the board. Keeping components at a relatively constant temperature, even if this is high (but within operating temperature limits), is a means of promoting longevity.
    For myself, the first thing I do with a seperate VRM heatsink is take it off and use a quiet fan to blow air on to the VRM area of the PCB - this is where the heat is. This has the added benefit of actively cooling the inductors and capacitors too....
    Cooling the epoxy component body is a fudge. If the epoxy (and thus any heatsink plonked on top of it) is running at 60C, the component die is way above that.....
    It's better than nothing, but only just."""

  • A few questions about Patone colors

    I have a few questions about patone colors since this is the first time I use them. I want to use them to create a letterhead and business cards in two colors.
    1)
    I do understand that the uncoated is more washed out than the coated patone colors. I heard that this is because the way paper absorbs the inkt. This is why the same inkt results in different colors on different paper (right?). My question is why is the patone uncoated black so much different than normal black (c=0 m=0 y=0 k=100) or rich black:
    When I print a normal document with cmyk, I can get pretty dark black colors. Why is it that I cannot have that dark black color with patone colors? Even text documents printed on a cheap printer can get a darker color than the Patone color. It just looks way too grey for me.
    2) For a first mockup, I want to print the patone colors as cmyk (since I put like 10 different colors on a page for fast comparison). I know that these cmyk colors differ from the patone colors and that I cannot get a 100% representation. But is there a way to convert patone to cmyk values?
    I hope that some of you can help me out with my questions.
    Thanks.

    You can get Pantone's CMYK tints in Illustrator, (Swatches Panel > Open Swatch Library > Color Books > PANTONE+ Color Bridge Coated or Uncoated) but in my view, what's the point?  If you're printing to a digital printer, just use RGB (HSB) or CMYK. Personally, I never use Pantone's CMYK so-called "equivalents."
    Pantone colors are all mixed pigmented inks, many of which fluoresce beyond the gamut limits of RGB and especially CMYK. The original Pantone Matching System (PMS) was created for the printing industry. It outlined pigmented ink formulations for each of its colors.
    Most digital printers (laser or inkjet) use CMYK. The CMYK color gamut is MUCH SMALLER than what many mixed inks, printed on either coated or uncoated papers can deliver. When you specify non-coated Pantone ink in AI, according to Pantone's conversion tables, AI tries to "approximate" what that color will look like on an uncoated sheet, using CMYK. -- In my opinion, this has little relevance to real-world conditions, and is to be avoided in most situations.
    If your project is going to be printed on a printing press with spot Pantone inks, then by all means, use Pantone colors. But don't trust the screen colors; rather get a Pantone swatch book and look at the actual inks on both coated and uncoated papers, according to the stock you will use on the press.
    With the printing industry rapidly dwindling in favor of the web and inkjet printers, Pantone has attempted to extend its relevance beyond the pull-date by publishing (in books and in software alliances, with such as Adobe) its old PMS inks, and their supposed LAB and CMYK equivalents. I say "supposed" because again, RGB monitors and CMYK inks can never be literally equivalent to many Pantone inks. But if you're going to print your project on a printing press, Pantone inks are still very relevant as "spot colors."
    I also set my AI Preferences > Appearance of Black to both Display All Blacks Accurately, and Output All Blacks Accurately. The only exception to this might be when printing on a digital printer, where there should be no registration issues.
    Rich black in AI is a screen phenomenon, unless in Prefs > Appearance of Black, you also specify "Output All Inks As Rich Black," -- something I would NEVER do if outputting for an actual printing press. I always set my blacks in AI to "Output All Blacks Acurately" when outputting for a press. If you fail to do this, then on the press you will see any minor registration problems, with C, M, and Y peeking out, especially around black type.  UGH!
    Good luck!  :+)

  • Few questions about iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    Recently I got an iPhone 4S, it is my first new phone in a long time, before this I had an old nokia, so I just have a few questions about it.
    I havve read a alot of horror stories about the 4S battery life, mine seems ok, here is what I would like to know
    1) How long should a healthy battery last?
    2) how long should it take to charge to 100% from 1 or 2%?
    On my daily commute I use listen it to music and sometimes user twiiter/facebook. I also get alerted of emails when they come in. So far it has just about lasted just about two days maybe before I had to recharge. Is this about right? As stated above I am coming from an old nokia, which is very dated now but the battery lasted almost a week before I had to charge, so having to charge my phone this often is new to me. My iPhone is really great and I just don't want any problems. I have turned off all extras that I don't need.
    BTW are the iPhone 4S battery issues a software or hardware issue?
    Thanks

    I attempted to read your post, but in amongst all the random, unrelated waffling, I couldn't actually find exactly what your iPhone related question for this "Using iPhone" forum was.
    Would you like to clarify? Concisely.

  • Few questions about Lenovo G550

    Hello, I plan to buy an inexpensive laptop, propably it will be a Lenovo G550L but I got few questions about this model. Here are my questions:
    1. What 320GB hard disks are mounted inside G550L, Western Digital, Seagate or Hitachi (exact model if possible)?
    2. How are the hinges of LCD screen in this model, cause they look pretty weak. Do they break easy, does anyone got any experience with this type of hinges which are "forward type" instead of normal?
    2. I have noticed that there are two types of laptop chassis in this model one is matte black and another is grey glare. How to determine which model has which finish? Which finish got laptops with T4300, 3GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Intel IGP x4500, no card reader, no hdmi.
    Thanks in advance.

    my friend samsung any net, toshiba regza link, panasonic viera link is their special TM to support CEC
    but just for their product not  other products,for instance a samsung dvd player and a samsung lcd can sync easily with with hdmi cable
    and in this case you dont need an extra remote control to control dvd besides tv.just with having a remote you can control both of them or the other audio visual products from that campany
    please think???? how could you control your lenovo when it does not have a remote?
    every device need to send signals to the remote not by just some wires like HDMI
    lcd has  a  remote and a dvd player also has a remote and if those are from a unit company,they share a common signal with HDMI cable ,then you could control both of them with just one remote.
    this can ease your work,as you dont need a lot of remote around your devices
    but they should be from just a unit producer cause they uses different protocols
    and of course they want to sell their various products and oblige you to buy other products from that producer to have the compability for having just one remote.

  • Few questions about syncing

    Hi,
    I have a few questions about syncing. Since this is my first iphone and apple product, I'm not familliar with it. My mother bought the tomtom app for navigation. And she said that it has 3 uses (for 3 different devices). Now the app is in her library on her computer. So if i try to sync with her library, it will erase all my previous apps. How come? Also I'm planning to use a laptop in college so I'll have to sync it with that.
    What should I do to keep my apps?

    All 3rd party apps - paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the app. This is required by 3rd party app developers to prevent people from stealing from them with paid apps. If not for this, you could pay for and download the TomTom app which is not cheap and all your friends and family members with an iPhone could install the app on their iPhone without paying for it, which in effect is stealing.
    There is no device limit for the number of iPods and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library on the same computer, but in regards to all iTunes content - music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.

  • Few questions about Calendar / SimpleDateFormat classes

    Hi.
    I have few questions about Calendar class:
    1. How can I get only date representation (without the time)?
    after doing:
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    I tried to clear unecessary fields:
    cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
    cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
    cal.clear(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    But after printing the time, it seems that the HOUR was not cleared:
    SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
    System.out.println(sdf1.format(cal.getTime()));
    ---> 03/11/2004 17:00:00
    Am I missing somthing?
    2. I want to make sure that two different formats couldn't be compared. i.e., if I'll try to parse one String according to different format -- ParseException will be thrown.
    String date = "19/04/2004 13:06:10";
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    Date dateObj = sdf.parse(date);
    However, even though that formats are different, no exception is thrown and the return Date is 19/04/2004 00:00:00.
    How can I cause to exception to be thrown if formats are not identical?
    Thanks in advanced

    The Calendar class has a few of what Microsoft would call 'features'. :^)
    To clear the time, call:
    calendar.set(calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), calendar.get(Calendar.DAY), 0, 0, 0);
    If you want 'pessimistic' rather than 'optimistic' date parsing, you have two options:
    1) Call calendar.setLenient(false);
    See if that is strict enough for your needs, otherwise:
    2) Write code to ensure a stricter parsing of the string passed in. For example, you could very simply check the length of the string to determine if time data is also present.
    When parsing, a string like '02/29/02' would parse to the date '03/01/02'. Setting lenient to false may fix this, but the surest way is to do some testing and then make the parsing more pessimistic where it suits your needs.
