Embodiments are directed to providing an extensible platform that allows users to select from and implement different types of media processors and to providing a management portal that allows users to manage their media processors. In one scenario, a computer system receives from a user a workflow with various tasks that are to be processed using a user-specified media processor. The computer system schedules computer system resources including a virtual machine on which the user-specified media processor is to be installed. The user-specified media processor includes a corresponding media processor installer. The computer system instantiates the scheduled virtual machine on the computer system, initiates the media processor installer to install the user-specified media processor on the instantiated virtual machine, and implements the installed media processor on the instantiated virtual machine to process the workflow tasks.

Cloud based media processing workflows and module updating

An interactive, multi-media presentation viewing system and process for viewing educational or business presentations integrating presentation graphics in the form of presentation slides, video, audio, text, and other streaming media into a powerfully coordinated viewing experience for the end user. The viewing system is an aggregate of synchronized presentation graphics, video, and text displays employing a graphical user interface that allows the user to control all aspects of media playback.

Interactive presentation viewing system employing multi-media components

A media synch player includes a time control module, a digital data storage and retrieval device coupled to and responsive to the time control module and an audiovisual data signal output configured to supply audiovisual data to a display by playing a first media file from the digital data storage and retrieval device in response to commands from a system controller. The time control module is configured to request a system time from an external time server, reset the time control module in accordance with the system time, lock to a master clock contained in the external time server and resynchronize the first time control module in response to predetermined criteria being met.
