Talking Stick

For centuries the Talking Stick has been used by American Indian tribes to ensure just and impartial hearing. The Talking Stick was used in great council circles to designate who had the right to speak. When matters of importance came before the council, the leading elder would hold the Talking Stick and begin the discussion. When he finished what he had to say he would hold out the Talking Stick, and whoever wished to speak after him would take it. In this manner the stick was passed from one individual to another until all who wished to speak had done so. The stick was then passed back to the leading elder for safe keeping.

Whoever holds the Talking Stick has within his hands the sacred power of words.

Talking Stick allows you to support multiple,
high-quality, video streams in Adobe Connect Pro while sidestepping the limitations of the existing camera pod.

Top Features:

• Stream high quality, full-screen audio and video from unlimited webcams and remote sources including Camcorders, Studio Cameras, video capture devices etc.
• Hosts/Moderators can control the quality, size and framerate for each speaker independently if required.
• Broadcast unlimited live Flash Media streams from any FMS or CDN server of your choice.
• Stream unlimited FLV files to attendees - files can be located anywhere on the net with no meeting upload needed.
• Display unlimited JPG, PNG or SWF files located anywhere on the net, all in the same pod.
• Talking Stick functions like an in-meeting video mixing board allowing Hosts/Moderators to switch at will between speakers.
• Request to Speak feature allows any Attendee to request the floor and be granted the right at the Host's discretion.
• Talking Stick keeps track of all Requests to Speak and the order they were made so Hosts can determine who gets the floor next.
• Add multiple instances of Talking Stick for simultaneous high-quality video conferencing - you still can use the built in Camera pod too for ultimate flexibility.
• Hosts/Moderators can activate and deactivate any speaker's camera feed remotely without requiring their intervention.
