Desktop video conferencing finally arrived at CityU
in June 96. With this new service, you can now talk face-to-face
with your ally miles apart. The participants can hear each other
and share live, motion video images of each other. Its applications
are diversified. To name a few, it is ideal for running conferences/seminars
in various locations either within campus or across local/overseas
institutions. It provides a means for collaboration among project
team members, students or researchers who are far apart. Staff
who are out of town or tied up with their work in offices can
attend meetings via video conferencing. Overseas interviews can
be arranged for University students without the need to travel
abroad, thus saving time and money.
To use this service, all you need is a network point
in your office. Video conferencing system is also set up in Room
Neptune in CSC if better quality is required. Other than the professional
audio and video equipment, the room is also equipped with an 128Kbps
ISDN line for off-campus conferencing. For details on the booking
procedures and charging scheme, please refer to the CSC leaflet
" Video Conferencing in City University" obtainable
from the CSC General Office.
