Video-on-Demand (CityVoD) 

CityVoD

CityVoD 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.
