StrandVision launches online PowerPoint conversion tool

April 22, 2007

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — StrandVision LLC, a provider of hosted digital signage services, announced that it is offering a free online service that converts each slide in a Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT) presentation into a JPG-formatted graphic that is of higher quality than conversions that result from using standard desktop tools.

The service is designed to help StrandVision digital signage customers turn individual slides from their existing presentations into StrandVision digital sign screens. However, the free service is open to anyone.

The Import/Conversion utility enables users to navigate to the PowerPoint presentation on their computers, select the file (the StrandVision converter can convert a single slide or an entire presentation) and upload the presentation to the StrandVision server. Once the conversion is completed, StrandVision sends an email with a link to the converted images (ZIP files of JPG images). The files can then be downloaded to the local personal computer. StrandVision customers can then select and add the images to their digital signage presentations.
