the Content Server will select the best size
recording for your Internet connection.
Conferences where all available recordings
are too big for the current connection will
display the following bandwidth info warning
in the interface: ‘Your bandwidth has been
determined at a lower rate than is necessary
to display this conference recording properly.
You may experience problems viewing this
conference.’

The

Category

selection sets that category

as a default. On logging in, only conferences
belonging to that category will be displayed.

The number of

All authenticated users have access to
preferences where settings such as default
category and the number of items displayed on
the screen can be modified.
To change your preferences, click the

Preferences

link at the top right of the screen

or on your user name displayed at the bottom
left of the screen. The changes will take effect
the next time the user logs into the Content
Server.

Manually select the

Speed

of your internet

connection here to override the automatic
bandwidth detection. Using this option
will deliver the optimum size conference
(if available) for the selected speed. For
conferences that have a higher bitrate (speed)
than selected, a bandwidth warning will be
displayed in the conference listing page.
Users may not experience optimal viewing if
their connection speed is significantly lower
than the speed they select.

Results of the

Client Environment

check are

displayed here, showing if Windows Media,
QuickTime and Real Media plugins have been
detected and are scriptable, and also the
version of Javascript installed.
Green ticks indicate the conference formats
that you can view using the Content Viewer. A
red exclamation mark indicates that the plugin
has not been installed, so conferences in this
format cannot be viewed on your computer.
On a Macintosh, only conferences in the
QuickTime (MPEG4) format can be played. The
Windows Media and Real Media plugins will not
be checked and will display a red exclamation
mark.
The Client Environment check is run the first
time you log in to the Content Server, and the
results are stored in a cookie. The check is
only run again when the cookie expires or is
deleted.

The

Re-check Client Environment

button lets

you delete the stored cookie and perform a re-
check of your client environment. This is useful
if you have installed a plugin and want to start
watching conferences in this format.
