Is the video supported?
Yes. The video formats shown below are supported.
WMV (Recommended)
AVI, MPEG1, MPEG2（Windows Media Player 11 are available）
Quicktime (Cinepack compressor)
I created the file using the Macintosh version of PowerPoint. Is that okay?
If the creation method and video format are the same as that of Windows, the file will be supported, even if created with the Macintosh version of PowerPoint. However, PCs to be used on the day of the meeting will only have Windows OSes. Because Macintosh fonts are converted to Windows standard fonts, layout may be misaligned on the day of the meeting. Be sure to open the file using the Windows version of PowerPoint and check the layout in advance.
Why is the Flash Player installed?
With iPos, presentation data can be browsed on the iPos corner PCs, or on PCs brought by participants to the iPos corner. iPos is designed so that browsing can be done efficiently, even if video and picture files are excessive.
Flash Player, the world standard of web technology, is used for lightening file size of the presentation data. Version 8 or higher (version 9 is the latest) is recommended for efficient browsing video files.
I would like to know the details on presentations with iPos.
You will deliver presentations using a plasma display with iPos, in addition to the browsing on PCs. The slides used in the presentation are automatically created when you register the file in iPos, so you do not have to prepare them separately. All you have to do is cast the slides on the plasma display at the podium and orally make presentation. It is similar to the regular oral presentation.
How is the presentation carried out?
The presentation time is five minutes, and discussion time is two minutes per presentation.
Can I see the presentation outside of the conference room?
Participants are able to see presentations only in the iPos corner. There is, however, an area where wireless LAN can be used in the Pos corner, so you can browse iPos using your PC. In order to do this, you must sign a consent form on copyright protection. The illegal use of files (resale, copy, reprint, etc., without permission) is strictly prohibited.
Can I ask a question using email?
You can send your question to the first author from the iPos browsing screen during the meeting.
There seems to be a file size restriction for files to be sent. How can I send a large file?
If you have any inquiries in iPos, please contact our support desk at support@aplar.ipos2008.com.
Videos cannot be played in the preview.
Check that the video file name does not contain Japanese characters. It must consist of only English one-byte characters.
If you change a video file name, it is necessary to re-insert the video file in the PowerPoint slide and then register the PowerPoint file again.
Do not use commas (,) or quotation marks ("") in file names.
