What is Abobe Connect Pro?

Adobe Connect is a web-based collaboration tool that facilitates synchronous interactions among individuals and groups from the desktop.

Adobe Connect operates on the concept of "meeting rooms." A room is simply a unique space on the Adobe Connect server where meeting participants interact. A meeting room has a unique Web address and is assigned a "host" (the instructor). Once assigned, the host has complete control of the meeting room. Rooms can exist indefinitely and can be customized according to the individual needs of the host or meeting.

Adobe Connect has the capability of using audio and video if members of the meeting have a headset and webcam.  Our Adobe Connect service is provisioned with integrated conference calling that dials out & connects your participants as soon as they join your meeting.  Why not offer your participants a premium experience for your online meetings & presentations?

Adobe Acrobat Connect Features

Create Breakout Rooms

Within your meeting room, you can create multiple submeetings, or breakout rooms. Each breakout includes its own private VoIP or telephony audio channel. Use a default template or create custom layouts for each room, and provide specific content appropriate for each breakout. As the host, you can monitor all breakouts, move easily between them, and broadcast messages to all participants across room boundaries. When it's time to bring the groups back together, you can easily review breakout room content with the entire group in the shared main room.

Review Attendee List

As a leader, you can view the role (host, presenter, or participant) and status (whether or not connected) of everybody in your meeting room.

 

 

Screen Sharing

As a presenter, you can choose to share your screen at three levels: window, application, or your entire desktop. You can synchronize the view of all participants and expand the viewing area for shared applications, documents, and whiteboards to fill the participants' entire screen.

 

Remote Control Desktop Sharing

With permission from remote users, you can control their desktops and applications for collaborative work sessions, one-on-one instruction, product support, and other uses.

Internet Audio (VoIP)

Adobe® Acrobat® Connect^TM Pro provides the highest quality Internet audio (VoIP) and offers an easy audio set-up wizard, echo and noise cancellation, and silence detection, which eliminates the need for a "push to talk" feature.

 

 

Integrated Audio Conference Controls

Directly from within your meeting room and with no need for a reservation, you can dial out to participants, mute/unmute and hold/unhold participants' phone lines, eject participants, and view the active speaker. There's a single interface for scheduling web and phone conferences, along with synchronized web and phone conferencing audio recordings. This feature is available via Premiere Global Services, Cisco MeetingPlace, and Avaya.

 

Customize Window Layouts

To facilitate active collaboration for more effective and engaging web seminars and meetings, use the Collaboration Builder SDK to create custom windows.

 

Q&A Moderation

Conduct chat-based question-and-answer sessions, with complete control over question queue, visibility, and question delegation.

 

 

Presenters Collaboration View

Multiple presenters can conduct behind-the-scenes content preparation, whiteboarding, private chat, and layout customization while the meeting is in progress. Meeting participants cannot see any of the windows shared in the presenter-only area.

 

Multi-party Video Conferencing

Use standard USB or FireWire webcams for high-quality video conferencing, with support for multiple simultaneous video attendees.

 

Create Polling Questions

Easily create polls and track responses immediately. Use the feedback to guide the course of meetings and classes to ensure the content and pace suit the needs and interests of your audience. After the session, you can download polling data for further analysis and reporting.

 

 

Share Multiple Files

Acrobat Connect Pro provides full support for Adobe Flash® movies, animations, streaming video and audio, high-resolution graphics, Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, and Adobe Captivate® simulations, allowing participants to view and interact with rich media as a group or at their own pace.

 

Preparation Mode

As a presenter, you can create or modify a meeting room layout or upload content in Preparation mode, and changes will not be displayed to participants until Preparation mode is deactivated.

 

Turbo Screen Sharing

With the Optimize Screen Sharing feature in the Meeting menu, users can select "Fast Images" to enable very low bandwidth consumption when screen sharing fast-moving multimedia and video. This feature is also known as Turbo Screen Sharing.

 

White Board & Annotation Tools

Annotate over content and blank whiteboards using standard tools or your own custom annotation shapes. Save whiteboard overlays in persistent Acrobat Connect Pro meeting rooms and add to them in future sessions.

 

Record Meetings

Record meeting audio, including integrated teleconferencing and VoIP. Capture participant interactions via chat, polling, whiteboarding, and rich media. A built-in streaming server can optimize bandwidth for individual viewers. Viewers can use the meeting index to navigate to the most relevant content quickly, and all content remains interactive during playback.

 

 

Edit Recordings

As the meeting manager, you can use intuitive, online tools to create an edited version of an archived meeting. Remove unwanted sections of the recording using mark-in and mark-out points. The original version remains untouched and can be retrieved in its unedited state.

 

Download Recordings for Playback Offline

While online viewing is the most common way to watch a recording, you can also provide the option for offline viewing. Simply save your recording in the FLV format and then anyone can download the file and watch it using any media player that supports FLV, such as Adobe Media Player software.

 

Customize Meeting Room Layout

Use customizable tabs to organize meeting flow and content. Easily select and arrange content windows for each layout.

 

Meeting Room Branding

Customize the look and feel of your meeting room with your corporate logo and colors.

 

 

Manage Meeting Information

Easily schedule meetings, invite attendees, and set access permissions. Set up rooms specific to the subject, audience, or presenter. Assign persistent rooms for recurring meetings and control who has access to content. Get detailed statistics on meetings and users to measure attendance.
