Video-on-Demand
(CityVoD)
VoD on the CTNET allows users to select
and view video from a collection of archives over the network. This
technology is likely to greatly enhance the availability of multimedia
information to teachers and add substantial value to the educational
process.
Video sessions of lectures, conferences,
forums, seminars, demonstrations and course materials etc. can be
recorded, encoded and stored on the media server, allowing simultaneous
real-time access to the same piece of information at users' own pace
from any location on campus or via ISP from
home.

Video Conferencing
Video Conferencing makes it possible for
CTNET users to hold live interactive meetings as well as to conduct
distance learning, training, seminars and conferences with other parties
located either within campus or off-campus. With the high performance
Multi-point Conferencing Unit (MCU), it is possible to connect up to
12 different locations into a single virtual meeting room. On the CTNET,
three types of connections are provided: H.323, the IP network connection;
H.320, the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) connection and
the combination of both H.323 and H.320 connection. In addition, a dedicated
network, known as the HARVNET, is also established for connection to
each university in Hong Kong.
