CTI has implemented a new process to store media upload completion status on the Presentations dashboard allowing administrators to quickly use the Advanced Search function to view Completed or Incomplete presentations. When a presenter finishes the uploading presentation(s) process to their Portal, the Presentations dashboard field “Completion status” in cAdmin will turn “Complete.”
CTI has a process to store media upload completion status on the Presentations dashboard allowing administrators to quickly use the Advanced Search function to view Completed or Incomplete presentations. When a presenter finishes the uploading presentation(s) process to their Portal, the Presentations dashboard field “Completion status” in cAdmin will turn “Complete.”
Uploaders in Portal will see green and red indicators that presentation upload(s) are either complete or incomplete, shown below:
Uploaders clicking “Only Incomplete” in the top right corner to show only incomplete presentations below:
All media types must be created in cAdmin or the presenter will not be able to upload that specific file in their Portal. For example, if an MP3 file is not created as a possible media type upload, presenters will not be able to upload MP3 files. This streamlines the uploading process for presenters and weeds out any unwanted files.
At the top, name the media type (e.g., PPTX). Add an optional Description (e.g., Oral Presentation). Next, choose an icon the presenters will see in the Portal for the media type (e.g., a laptop for a presentation).
PowerPoint or PPTX has the most File Type extension (or convert) options including HTML5, IMG, MP4, and Video On Demand. File Type extensions are an OPTIONAL media type conversion each association may choose if they have very specific needs (not necessarily needed).
– PPTX to IMG: This option is for large 1-page ePosters converted to a high resolution – PPTX to MP4: If the PPTX is video-heavy, this may be a good option – PPTX to Video On Demand: This option allows attendees to consume the video on a player after the presentation – PPTX to HTML5: This is an option, but it is not recommended. The conversion process is long and some elements in PPTX don’t always convert to HTML5
After PPTX, the options are PDF, MP4, MP3, and IMG. – PDF IMG (hi-resolution) converts to a high-resolution image (mainly for ePosters) – MP4 Video On Demand allows attendees to watch the video at any time
If checked, the Conversion Success flag gives the administrator more information about how the file is converted. Save when finished.
NOTE: Admins can create multiple media file types to accommodate the meeting (e.g., one media type may be a PPTX, and another media type might be a PDF handout).
What is a CTI Meeting Technology media item? Media items (or types) are the technologies speakers use to present their presentations (e.g., PPTX, MP4, PDF).
CTI provides 5 main media items
– PPTX: files are used in Microsoft PowerPoint, a presentation program used to display content in a slideshow format. Each slide can contain graphics, formatted text, videos, music, animations, and more – PDF: stands for the Portable Document Format, used to display documents in an electronic form independent of the software, hardware, or operating system they are viewed on – MP4: a standardized video file format; almost all video players support MP4 – MP3: MP3, M4A – IMG: PNG, JPEG
In summary, presenters can upload the following file types: PPTX, PDF, MP4, MP3, M4A, PNG, and JPEG files.
