  • Publication number: 20170168994
    Abstract: A manner of facilitating document presentation that may be used to advantage, for example, by a presenter in a meeting room or auditorium setting. A document-presentation system includes a control server that receives a document-presentation indication, for example from a presenter device or another apparatus in a meeting room or associated with a meeting. The control server communicates with the presenter, or user, and determines the document or documents to be presented and a location from which they may be obtained. The control server then sends a presentation notice to a selected render server, which downloads and renders the document. The render server renders the document to a frame buffer in local memory, encodes the pixels read from the frame buffer, and streams the encoded pixels to an adapted display device in a selected location. The render server communicates with the user via the presenter device to start, control, and terminate the presentation.
