Connect for Web Meeting (presentation)
I write it because there is so much information you need to know for installing successfully. Here’s a quick start to simplify your installation and verification.
---------------------------------------
What's Edge server of Connect?
---------------------------------------
Edge server is supported for Adobe Connect Enterprise Server Licensed only.
From Adobe.com, you can apply trial of Connect Pro 6 Hosted only.You need to ask your sales representative to apply the trial licenses of Adobe Connect Enterprise Server Licensed and Edge server.
Edge Server has similar architecture as Flash Media Server (That's why they call Origin and Edge) for data and video streaming.
It is used for distributed architecture for reducing bandwidth, transmission cost, server loading and O/S limitation (maximum number of network connection, memory, throughput, etc.).
--------------------------------------------------
For more detail, please check Adobe.com
--------------------------------------------------
(1) Adobe Connect Edge Server enables the Adobe Connect solution to reduce bandwidth and improve delivery for groups in remote locations.
(2) Connect Edge Server on a single server or a cluster of servers.
(1) Guide (Presentation)
(2) How To (Step-by-step Hands out)
I hosted this training for four districts from Feb to Apr, 2008 talking the advanced usages of Acrobat 8.
(1) Engagement
(2) Long term Archiving -- Special or Self-created characters can be embedded in PDF. That's why PDF is portable and we need PDF to be ISO standard.
(3) PDF Package -- Compressed files always bring virus / malware together. PDF can serve as a container that can contain PDF and other formats (Office, Image) into one PDF package.
(4) Project / Document Management -- Downsizing from 30-MB source files becomes a small 3-MB PDF.
PDF has relatively high compression at Presentation, Photo, Scanned document, and 2D/3D CAD.
(5) Batch processing -- Just one step to finish OCR, Numbering, Adding Watermark and Adding Security for multiple source files.
(6) Review -- Done by Comments, Redaction and Digital Signature easily
(7) Form Design -- for marketing survey and groupware workflow using Acrobat Professional and Reader only.
(8) Add Interaction -- Embedded Flash and movies into one PDF. It's really portable without any bad link.
(9) Tips -- Support RSS, Adobe Labs (Digital Editions, Ads for Adobe PDF, Buzzword, SyncIn, Mars Project)

I hosted this training in Apr 22, 2008 talking about brief (what are flash, flash video, streaming, product versions), Installation of Flash Media Server (FMS) & Flash Media Encoder (FME), Simple development by Flash CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, Device Central CS3, Some reference cases (NetConnection, Playlist with XML, Origin & Edge).
Samples:
Download file
For sample_01, you need to provide a FLV file named as see.flv into the project folder.
For sample_04, the original source is come from Lee Brimelow's XML video playlist tutorial
Prerequisite:
(1) Go to Adobe.com and update the latest Flash Player (i.e. 9.0.115).
With this version, we can stream any H.264 file (e.g. mov, mp4, etc.) without converting to FLV.
(2) Download the Flash Media Server 3 and Flash Media Encoder 2.5 from Adobe.com
-- Without serial number, FMS becomes developer version
(= full functionary of Interactive server + limited to 10 connections)
Download
-- FME is free download.
Download
(3) Flash Lite 3 Update for Device Central CS3
-- Now Flash Lite 3 can support video streaming by Flash Media Server 3
Download

Agenda:
(1) Why YouTube success?
(2) Usage of Flash Media Server in YouTube, BBC, Accelerade, HD, Viddler.com, Remix, Spike TV
(3) Mobile streaming
(4) Adobe Media Player
(5) CS3 Production
(6) Tryout
Highlight:
(1) Point out you can be the next YouTube.
-- Flash Media Server provides Web DVR and Social Media networking. These are very unique features of FMS.
-- Even RealPlayer chooses Adobe Media Player and FMS as their solution because of Web DVR.
(2) 80% web video streaming format is Flash Video
-- The ROI of BBC iPlayer is 800% growth.
(3) Kevin Lin is a concept basis when we try to talk about 24 hours Endurance Run event by Accelerade (a drink) and Dean Karnazes (ultra-marathon man)
-- Live Streaming by FMS. Fully high performance and highly scalable.
-- If someone says we don't have this high bandwidth, you can suggest the following.
-- Suggest using 200-Kbps content instead, so for 5,200 concurrent connections, it needs 1-Gbps only.
-- For Accelerade case, it used 312-Kbps content, so it needs 38-Gbps for 128,000 concurrent connections.
Also, the highest peak of bandwidth is predictable. e.g. at the last 30 minutes.
(4) Every device is a small computer and IPTV is coming.
(Refer to http://www.adobe.com/solutions/broadcast and the Forrester research paper)
-- Sony Bravia will build-in Flash.
-- Compared to the poor quality of current web video, Flash 9 provides HD (H.264) quality is the best choice for IPTV.
-- When you try to play some web video, you can highlight the multi-camera switching, editing and replay.
These features can be implemented by FMS, Remix, Premiere and After Effects, etc.
-- Viddler.com provides Commenting / Syndication by FMS
-- MTV, YouTube and PhotoBucket use Adobe Remix (a express version of Adobe Premiere) for online editing.
(5) Ads, content provider, audiences all need the creative thing.
-- You can see many great samples of user generated content.
e.g. If you are the guy of guys, you must watch Spike TV (Viacom)
-- FMS provides Video-on-Demand (VOD)
(6) Taking photo (e..g. at 101), sharing video --- all because of the Wisdom of Crowds.
-- FMS provides mobile streaming by Flash Lite 3.
-- Adobe Media Player can be streamed through FMS.
All content catalog, banner and overlay Ads are set by RSS and ATOM.
(7) Flash + Plug-in = Flex + AIR SDK = Both can create Flash (.swf) and AIR (.air) by your familiar Adobe tools
(8) CS3 provides production workflow
-- Plan by PhotoShop & Illustrator. You can reuse all content at Flash authoring & Video production
-- Capture using free Flash Media Encoder (FME) and/or Adobe OnLocation CS3
-- Edit by Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
-- Visual Effects by Adobe After Effects CS3
-- Audio Editing by Adobe Southbooth CS3
-- Deliver using FMS. Provide you from Web to HDTV. From personal HD movie to web streaming infrastructure
(9) Get tryout at Adobe.com.
-- FMS Developer version is free and limited to 10 concurrent connections only.
-- flash on: showcases of Flash video and Flash.
(10) Now is Media 2.0. Cross-media and Cross-platform are king. That's why you need Adobe.
-- PC – most are Windows and Mac
-- Handphone – most are Nokia (Symbian)
-- HDTV, PDA, Billboards – most are Linux.
-- Adobe flash is a 10+ years proven technology and keep promise on cross-platform and cross-media.

I hosted this training in Dec 6, 2007 talking about Designer ES, Workbench ES, LiveCycle Administration, Foundation and Reader extensions.
Prerequisite:
(1) Install LiveCycle ES in server or in local.
I use Reader Extensions in my sample. It'll be better if you can install this.
(2) Samples can be downloaded from Download file.
This training is very straight forward so it's OK if you want to use your samples.
(3) Install a Workbench ES to each client.
In the presentation file, "P01" to "P04" are working steps from page to page.
and the "localhost" should be replaced by your server URL.
P.S. You can download the trial and documents as follows.
LiveCycle ES trial download and serial number
LiveCycle ES trial download and serial number
LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES certificate
Documentation (install, start, develop, ...)
