About Cisco Show and Share

Cisco Show and Share is a secured social network for video collaboration, communication, and learning. User-generated video is central to the Cisco Show and Share experience. As a Cisco Show and Share user, you can view and interact with videos. As a Cisco Show and Share author, you can upload or record videos. You can also synchronize slide presentations with the video, upload transcripts, and add optional, downloadable files to your video.

Change History

This change history contains only those updates that apply to Cisco Show and Share users with Visitor, Video Author, Video Publisher, or Live Event User roles. Administrators should visit the Administrator Guide for Cisco Show and Share 5.3.x on Cisco.com for a list of changes to the administration features.

New Supported Languages

You can now display the interface in German, Portuguese-Brazil, and Italian.

Note The Italian language option is provided as a Beta feature. You may experience some

inconsistencies in the interface if you choose this language.

Multiple Video Resolution Support

Depending upon your system settings, viewers may have the option to view videos at different resolutions. This can be especially helpful if you are viewing videos over a slower network connection—if video playback pauses often, you can switch to a lower resolution to help increase playback performance. This option is only available if your Cisco Show and Share uses a Cisco MXE to transcode the uploaded videos and your system administrator has enabled multiple resolutions.

Mobile Application Support

Note The Cisco Show and Share mobile client application is beta and is suitable for early pilots and trials. We

do not recommend an enterprise production deployment at this time. The mobile technology space is evolving quickly with new devices and software versions, so the beta application is subject to change.

Cisco Show and Share 5.3 supports access through a mobile application. Viewers can download the mobile application to a supported iOS device and view, rate, comment, and upload videos to Cisco Show and Share.

This feature must be enabled by your system administrator.

See the Cisco Show and Share 5.3 Mobile Application User Guide on Cisco.com for more information on how to install and use the application:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/showandshare/mobile-client/ mobileapp.html

Pulse Keyword and Speaker Identification Support

Cisco Show and Share 5.3 introduces support for extracting keywords and identifying speakers in uploaded videos when used with a Cisco MXE running version 3.3 software. You can use this information when searching for or filtering videos or to navigate to specific points within a video.

This feature must be enabled by your system administrator.

WebEx Recording Upload Support

If your system has an integrated Cisco MXE running version 3.3 software, you can upload WebEx .arf files for transcoding.

This feature must be enabled by your system administrator.

Recorded Video Transcoding Support

If your system has an integrated Cisco MXE running version 3.3 software, and your system administrator has enabled the Pulse feature set, videos recorded directly in the Cisco Show are transcoded, which enables the Pulse features and the multiple resolution support for them.

New and Changed in Release 5.3.7

Multiple Live Event Users

Multiple Live Event users can log in. When multiple Live Event users are logged in, Live Event draft preview is not supported.

Italian Language Improvement

Improved user interface for the Italian language option.

User Guide for Cisco Show and Share 5.3.x

Pulse Keyword and Speaker Identification Enhancements

Video Authors can label guest speakers on a video-by-video basis. Doing so does not add the guest speaker’s name to the list of users that are already present within Cisco Show and Share.

Video Authors can now remove incorrect Pulse keywords completely on a video-by-video basis. This action cannot be undone, and doing so does not remove the keywords from the Pulse vocabulary list.

Video Authors can disable Pulse Speakers and Keywords on a video-by-video basis.

New and Changed in Release 5.3.12

About User Roles and Privileges

The following table describes the user roles that are available in Cisco Show and Share. Users may have more than one role. For example, in many installations video authors are also video publishers and live event users.

Users can also have one or more of the administrator roles listed at the bottom of the table. Administrator functions are described in the Administrator Guide for Cisco Show and Share 5.3.x.

Administrators can enable or disable certain features globally or restrict their access to a subset of users. The logic works like this:

• No one can use what an administrator has hidden from everyone.

• You must log in to use what an administrator has reserved for registered users.

• When you are logged in, you cannot use anything whose access rights exclude you.

To gain access to features that have been restricted to registered users by the site administrator, and to be able to upload, record, and edit videos, you must log in to Cisco Show and Share and have the privileges to perform those actions.

The Home page is the starting point of your Cisco Show and Share experience. You can always navigate back to the Home page by clicking Videos in the menu bar.

Chapter 2 Quick Start

At the top of the Home page are featured videos. Below the Featured Videos are the Public Videos. These are videos that do not have any viewing restrictions attached to them. By default, the newest videos are shown at the top of the list. You can also sort the list by the most watched, the highest rated, or containing the most comments. When sorted by the number of comments, both general comments and timeline comments count towards the comment total for a video.

Videos with viewing restrictions appear on the Private tab in your My Account page if you have permission to access them. For the “superuser” account, private videos also appear on the home page.

Note Beginning in Show and Share Release 5.3.12, you can select the Show Private Videos check box to

display private videos on your Home page (in addition to appearing on your My Account > Private tab).

You can filter the public videos by selecting a tag, a category, entering a filter term, or any combination of those methods. You can also change the Public Videos list view. For more information about browsing and searching for videos from the home page, see Browse and Search Videos, page 3-1.

Sort the Public Videos

You can sort the public video list by newness, most views, ratings, or number of comments.

Chapter 3 Browse and Search Videos

To sort the list, click one of the following options in the Sort By list:

• Newest—The most recently added videos appear at the top of the list. This is the default sort order

of the list.

• Most viewed—The videos are sorted in descending order by the number of views.

• Highest rated—The videos are sorted in descending order by rating.

• Most comments—The videos are sorted in descending order by the number of comments. Both

general and timeline comments count towards the comment total for a video.

Under certain circumstances, the sort by most viewed list may appear to be out of order. Videos with fewer views can appear higher in the list than a video with more views. This happens when a video author creates a draft of a public video (for example, to edit some of the video information). Views of the draft video count towards the overall video views, but are not reflected in the number of views shown in the Views count of the public video. This situation is corrected when the video author re-publishes the draft video.

Search for Videos

The following applies to basic and advanced searches:

• Search ignores common words, such as “the” (or the equivalent in the system base language).

• Search ignores special characters, such as punctuation. If you have titles with a special character

(non-alphanumeric character), such as an ampersand (&), and you perform a search for that character, you will not receive any search results because the special character is ignored.

• If you search for more than one term, it treats the search as an “and” and does not split the terms

across fields that are being searched. For example, if you have a video submitted by a user with the user ID of “user1” and tagged with the tag “tag”, searching for “user1 tag” may not produce the video in the results. This is because the search looks for both user1 and tag in the tags field and user1 and tag in the user ID field. However, you can filter the display on the home page with the desired tag and then search for the user ID.

Revised: September 2013

No matter where you are in the Cisco Show and Share interface, whenever you click on a video thumbnail or title, you are taken to the Video Playback page. The video playback page does more than just let you watch videos, it lets you interact with them by leaving comments, rating them, reading transcripts, watching synchronized slides, and downloading supplemental files. If your installation also has a Cisco MXE integrated with it and the Pulse feature set enabled, you can also browse the speakers and keywords within the video.

Topics in this section describe how to play and respond to videos.

About Video Playback

Videos are played back using one of two methods: streaming or progressive download.

With streaming playback, the video starts to play immediately after accessing the page. You can use the timeline and play head to jump to any point in the video.

With progressive download, the video begins playing after a portion of the video has been downloaded. You might experience a slight delay before the video begins. The video continues to download as you are watching it. You can skip to any point in the video up to the point where it has downloaded. Once the video has fully downloaded, you can move forward and backwards to any point.

About Pulse Keyword Identification

The Pulse engine can identify specific keywords spoken within videos. It does not identify all words in a video. Instead, your system administrator provides and maintains a list of keywords on the Cisco MXE. The Pulse engine scans the video for those keywords and places markers in the video timeline where they appear. When you select a keyword from the list, all instances of that keyword appear as markers in the timeline. You can jump to a specific marker or navigate forward and backwards through them.

The black triangle marks in the video timeline, below, mark each instance of the keyword “videos” in the video.

Chapter 4 Play, Comment, Tag, and Share Videos

Additionally, these keywords are included when filtering video lists or searching for videos with keywords.

The Pulse keyword identification feature only identifies English keywords. Additionally, the accuracy of keyword identification depends upon the quality of the recorded audio and whether or not there is a lot of background noise in the audio track.

User Guide for Cisco Show and Share 5.3.x

Chapter 4 Play, Comment, Tag, and Share Videos

About Pulse Speaker Identification

The Pulse engine can identify different speakers within videos. It does this by identifying unique voiceprints.

Speaker identification is a learned process. At first, voiceprints are assigned a generic speaker tag, such as Speaker 1. Authors can then use the Cisco Show and Share editing tools to associate voiceprints with specific speakers. The speaker names are taken from the Cisco Show and Share registered users list. Authors cannot assign names outside of the user pool.

Once a voiceprint has been associated with a specific user, subsequent videos uploaded with that voiceprint automatically show the speaker name.

The colored areas in the video timeline, below, mark each instance of a speaker in the video. This video has a single speaker—the gray areas between the yellow bars indicate where no one is speaking.

Procedures

The accuracy of the Pulse speaker identification depends upon the quality of the recorded audio and whether or not there is a lot of background noise in the audio track. Sometimes a single speaker may show up as named and as a generic speaker in the same video because of background noise or changes in recording quality.

Troubleshooting

When I download an attached Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file from the Files tab, the saved file has a .zip extension instead of a .docx, .xlsx, or .pptx extension.

This can occur when you download a .docx, .xlsx, or .pptx file from Cisco Show and Share using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.

To fix the problem, simply change the .zip file extension to the correct file extension after downloading the file.

The aspect ratio of my embedded Flash video is not maintained on the web page.

To preserve aspect ratio, the Flash embed code requires width and height values for object classid and embed src.

My embedded video appears as a black box on the web page.

This can have several causes.

1. First use the same web browser you used to access the web page with the embedded video to access

Cisco Show and Share. If you receive a security warning, follow the steps for your browser to accept the security certificate. Then try to access the page with the embedded video again.

2. If you did not receive a security warning, this may be caused by opening the HTML page with the

embedded video as a file rather than a web page (for example, double-clicking the HTML document in your file system). The HTML page must be served by an HTML server for the embedded video to show correctly.

You can determine whether or not you opened the HTML page as a file by looking at the address bar in your web browser. If you see a standard file path, such as rather than a URL, such as page as a file rather than a web page served by an HTML server.

When I click on an embedded video to play it, it disappears. When I click on and embedded video to play it, I receive the message “Windows media plugin not installed click here to install.”

This occurs on Mac OS. The video you are trying to play is in a Windows media format and playback is not supported on your OS.

The bottom of my video is cut off.

This may happen with some videos that are played back with the Quicktime plugin.

When I use my browser to zoom in during video playback, the video player controls disappear behind the video.

For the best viewing experience, we recommend that you use the video player controls for video playback. To increase the size of the video, use the fullscreen playback button.

I cannot fast forward, rewind, or use the play head to skip ahead or go back.

There are several possible causes for this:

• The video is not hosted on a streaming server. When a video is not hosted on a streaming server, it

is supplied to you by “progressive download”. In this case, the video starts playing while it is still downloading. You cannot fast forward past the point of where the download is reached.

• You are watching a .wmv video. The Windows media plugin for Firefox doe not allow you to use

the fast forward, rewind, or play head to move around the video. If you are using the Internet Explorer browser, you can use the play head to move forward and backwards in the video.

There is a delay when I try to replay a video.

Trying to replay an FLV video right after it finishes can result in a 20-40 second delay before it starts again.

I do not see the 720p option for the video I am watching

The different resolutions available depend on several factors:

• The original resolution of the video being uploaded. If the resolution was below 720p, a 720p

• The system settings. Your system administrator may not have enabled that resolution.

Label Speakers

When the Pulse feature set is enabled, the Pulse speaker identification engine attempts to identify the speaker in a video. It does this by comparing the voice print with those of previously identified speakers. If the Pulse engine cannot identify the speaker, it assigns the voiceprint a generic label, such as Speaker 1.

Troubleshooting

My edits do not appear when I play the video back after publishing. Why weren’t they saved?

Cisco Show and Share uses nondestructive editing. This means that instead of changing the actual video, Cisco Show and Share inserts markers and pointers to indicate the changes. This type of editing requires the video to be served from a Flash streaming server. If the videos are stored on the Cisco Show and Share server itself, they will be served from a Flash streaming server.

However, quite often the video source is actually stored and served from an external server dedicated to storing large quantities of video files. If the video is being served from another type of server, for example a simple web server, then the edits that you make will not appear during playback. If you experience this problem, contact your system administrator for more information about the type of server being used for the videos.

Where do I go to change the keywords for the Pulse keyword identification feature?

Viewers and Authors cannot add keywords to the Pulse keyword identification engine. Your Cisco MXE administrator is responsible for maintaining the list.
