Video Display and Playback
Video in ProtoSphere uses Adobe Flash as the means of playback, which means any video that
you can view by using Flash, ProtoSphere can play too, as long as you have Flash player
9.0.115.0 or higher installed.
The main video format that is supported in ProtoSphere is FLV. A number of different 3
rd
party
tools and video editors have the capability to encode FLV videos. Adobe also provides a free
encoder tool available from their website that you can use to convert your video files to that
format. Other supported formats are listed earlier in this section.
Live video is also supported when using the RTMP protocol for the stream.
You can display multiple videos on a single Media Board surface, and on up to three boards in a
single location.
The ProtoSphere video player is designed to accommodate a wide screen, 16:9 formatted
video or smaller. The green areas in the images below show how a widescreen 16:9 video and a
standard 4:3 video would be displayed.
Consideration must be given to the file size of the video you are displaying. Although
ProtoSphere will support up to a 100MB video file to be uploaded to the server, it may not be the
most efficient use of bandwidth when playing back the video. ProtoSphere will stream that
video down to the participants, but a large video will inherently require more bandwidth to
perform well, especially if many people are viewing it while on the same network. Individuals on
slower connections will experience more buffering than those on faster connections.
