High
Resolution Videos Available in CityVoD
Thanks
to the latest de-interlacing and encoding method, we have
included high resolution videos (the same as the resolution
of DVD-Video) as one of our video encoding standards in CityVoD.
In the past, it is difficult for users to watch clearly what
is on the screen when they use their PCs to view the CityVoD
files. However, with a high resolution video, users can from
now on watch it clearly as if they were in the seminar room.
Simply visit our CityVoD web page (select CityVoD under the
box of Computing Services Centre in the e-Portal) and click
on the high resolution version icon on the right of your desired
video, and you can experience what this new standard can bring
you. Please note that this version of video is available for
on-campus machines only. For smooth playback, it also requires
Pentium III 1GHz processor with at least 256 MB of system
memory and RealPlayer 10 installed.

We hope
our students will enjoy the new arrangement of the MCS.
Maximum Email Size Increased for
Staff, Students and Alumni
In the
light of the growing file size during email transfer, the
maximum email size is increased to 25MB for staff and 10MB
for students and alumni to enable you to enjoy better email
service.
When
you send email of large file size, please ensure that the
receipt's email system is capable of receiving it. This enhancement
is meant for some urgent or exceptional cases, and you are
advised to use other means (FTP, web etc.) whenever possible.
Air-conditioning Renovation in CSC
Student Terminal Area
With
a view to provide a better environment for our users by improving
the ventilation of the CSC Student Terminal Area, an air-conditioning
renovation project was carried out during the last semester
break, and the renovation for Room F and G were successfully
completed.
To complete
the whole project, renovation for Room H is scheduled to take
place in the next semester break. The exact period will be
announced later.
We hope
that you will enjoy your stay in the CSC. If you have any
comment, please let us hear it by sending it to cc@cityu.edu.hk.
