New ProtoSphere v.1.5.4 Now Supports Video and Flash Content
LANSDALE, Pa. --(Business Wire)--
ProtonMedia
today released ProtoSphere
Standard Edition v.1.5.4 with new video and Flash content support. Now
large enterprises can train in ProtoSphere using videos, Flash-based
courseware, and other interactive learning modules. In total, ProtoSphere
v.1.5.4 includes five new features to help companies streamline
their learning and training activities, accelerate knowledge transfer,
and improve knowledge retention. They include:
-
Video
playback on Presentation Boards. Now users can upload
and play back videos directly on ProtoSphere's Presentation Boards for
all users in the room to watch. It's a snap to upload videos, and
there's no server-side conversion, so they're available for playback
immediately after upload. Supported formats include FLV, F4V, F4P,
MP4, MOV, M4V, 3GP, 3G2, and streaming RTMP feeds.
-
Flash
content support. Any Flash content can now be brought
into and used in ProtoSphere, including courseware materials or other
interactive learning modules. Users can interact with the Flash
content to suit their schedule and learning needs. This feature also
lets users interact with Flash content from a Web link on
ProtoSphere's Presentation Boards.
-
YouTube
and other Web-hosted video support. In addition to
uploading video files from a computer, users will also be able to
bring videos into ProtoSphere via a URL path, such as from YouTube (News - Alert).
This gives greater flexibility in what video content users can bring
into and use in ProtoSphere.
-
Mac
Support. ProtoSphere v.1.5.4 runs on Mac OS X Snow Leopard
10.6.3 or Leopard 10.5.8.
-
New Avatars. These will replace the existing set of avatars
with higher quality, higher polygon faces, helping provide a more
life-like experience for users.
"Over the past year, we've seen a significant increase in the use of
video and other interactive learning materials within large enterprise
organizations," says Ron
Burns, CEO of ProtonMedia. "We've responded by adding video and
Flash content support in ProtoSphere. When you couple the increasing use
of interactive content with the growing adoption of ProtoSphere you have
a powerful pairing for accelerating knowledge transfer and improving the
knowledge retention of global teams."
ProtoSphere v.1.5.4 is available via ProtonMedia direct sales and select
systems integrator partners. Call 215-631-1401 for sales information.
