PowerPoint Instructions

- We recommend you to save your PowerPoint presentation using PPT format instead of PPS.
Pictures/Videos
- JPG images are the preferred file format for inserted images.
- GIF, TIF or BMP formats will be accepted as well.
- Images inserted into MS-PowerPoint are embedded into the presentations. Images that are created at a dpi setting higher than 200 dpi are not necessary, and will only increase the file size of your presentation.
- We cannot provide support for embedded videos in your presentation; please test your presentation with the on-site PC several hours before your presentation. Generally, the WMV format should work with no difficulties.
- In case your video is not inserted in MS-PowerPoint, it is possible to have it in other formats – MPEG 2, 4 , AVI (codecs: DivX, XviD, h264) or WMV. Suggested bitrate for all mpeg4 based codecs is about 1 Mbps with SD PAL resolution (1024x576pix with square pixels, AR: 16/9).
