  2. What is SPOT? • An ITX application suite for creating and playing slide presentations with synchronized streaming audio. • Three applications: • SPOT Wizard • SPOT Client • SPOT Server

  3. SPOT Features • Makes extensive use of the ITX telephony package. • Supports both local and remote presentation viewing. • Slide presentations are created from PowerPoint presentations. • Allows a user to move back and forth within the presentation via an interface similar to that of a CD player.

  4. SPOT Wizard • Used to create new slide presentations from an existing PowerPoint presentation. • A CD player interface is used to navigate through the PowerPoint presentation. • Outputs two files: • RAD File - Raw Audio Data File • PAM File - Presentation Audio Mapping File

  5. SPOT Client • Used to view the slide presentation. • The client can view local presentations created by a SPOT Wizard or remote presentations served by a SPOT server. • A CD player interface is used to navigate through the SPOT presentation.

  6. SPOT Server • Serves a SPOT presentation to a SPOT client. • Can support multiple clients simultaneously. • Since the SPOT suite is based on the ITX telephony package, audio can be streamed to the SPOT client machine or to a telephone.

  7. A user surfs the Web to a SPOT Presentation Archive and then downloads a SPOT file, which contains information on all of the SPOT servers that can serve the particular SPOT presentation.The user then starts a SPOT client. The SPOT client uses the SPOT file to present a list of SPOT servers to the user.The userthen connects to a SPOT server, which then serves a slide presentation with synchronized audio streamed over telephony. How Does It Work?
