Adobe Announces Connect Pro Online Conference Tool

After weeks of hints and leaks, Adobe announced Acrobat Connect Pro last week as a large-scale web conferencing tool.

Adobe has announced Acrobat Connect Pro 7, the large-scale web conferencing and training tool that takes a presenter's documents, PowerPoint slides and video files and serves them up as Flash via browser plug-in to meeting attendees. Adobe also announced the concurrent release of Presenter 7, the authoring tool that integrates Flash content such as quizzes, polls, and other collateral into Connect Pro meetings.

Adobe targets Acrobat Connect Pro--not to be confused with the Connect that comes free with Acrobat--to small-to-medium sized businesses, and departments at larger corporations.

Version 7 includes enhanced video recording and playback controls to make more coherent, tighter presentation archives. It also supports tracking of materials as well as "breakout rooms" for groups within a larger audience, as well as integration with Blackboard and SumTotal learning management systems (LMSs).

Also included is deeper PDF interoperability for printable materials and supporting content, as well as A/V controls that help companies comply with various privacy and reporting regulations--for example in the United States, some companies might need to record everything for Sarbanes-Oxley regulatory reporting. Others might have to disable saving of any content because of HIPAA privacy laws. Or something in between, such as disabling voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) as the Chinese government requires in some settings.
