Business Presentation

Chapter 3 Business presentation

In this chapter, we will be showing you how business presentation can be done with Studio Commander. That means to use Studio Commander as your business laser presenter.


The so-called business presentation can normally be classified as the following three categories:
(1) Small Group discussion (<15 people)
(2) Small class (>10 people and < 50 people)
(3) Big Auditorium (> 50 people).

At the big auditorium environment, the distance between the speaker and computer could be very long. Therefore, it may require a presenter with RF Link which can support more than 50 meters (150 ft.). Besides, the speaker may have to carry the presenter for a very long time. Small form factor will also be a very important issue. In real application, the number of keys has been designed to be very few. Just like in the Figure 1:


Figure 1: a RF presenter.

In the small class or small group discussion environment. The speaker could stand
within 30ft (10 meter) distance from the computer. Therefore, RF or IR link could both work. Functionally speaking, this may require many more features. In U.S., the laser product has also need to be certified by FDA.

With the support by Microsoft Powerpoint tool, the following instruction set is very important:
(1) Play, Show slides(F5)
(2) ESC, to quit
(3) Left, Right, Page UP, Page Down, UP, DOWN< (4) Right Click for Mouse. (1), (2),(3)'s importance is very obvious. For (4), it is also very important when you need to change your presentation schedule and jump to a specific slide. The Studio Commander has PC mode and Media mode. With any help from any software or device driver, user may press the PC mode (Blue key, for keyboard mode) to go into the use of presenter.

After that, you may use mouse to click on a specific power point file. Then, press Show key to start the presentation. (If you have Studio Input software, you may also keep your software at Media mode, and press the play key to start the presentation.) The show key is the same as the F5 key for normal Keyboard.

Then, you can do you presentation by using up/down, page up/page down to control powerpoint software. When you are done, you may press ESC to finish the presentation to quit.







If during the presentation, you need to jump to a specific page, you may use right click for mouse and choose navigation (go to), then pick the specific slide that you need.

Besides, if you need the New, Open, Save and other file operations, this presenter, has given you the features that other presenter can never provide you.




If you have Studio Input software installed, you may use media mode to control powerpoint as well.

From the introduction above, you should discover that Studio Commander is more robust than any other presenter in the market right now. It is perfectly suitable for small class or small group discussion use.
