Case Study
Multi-Point Videoconferencing at Indiana University
3/21/2007
"[Codian] really offered us an advanced features set," according to Steven Egyhazi, chief engineer in the digital media network services group at IU. "A lot of our users were looking for continuous presence layouts in conferences," meaning that all users can be seen at once. "They [each] wanted individual control of multipoint conferences, and Codian gives us that capability very well."In the future, the university plans to take advantage of the Codian system's streaming server to offer playback of recorded classes, meetings, conferences, and presentations. Codian offers an IP-optimized VCR that records and archives video and data and then can either stream, export, or play back that video content to any endpoint or computer. "That allows us to capture the voice, camera, video, and XGA graphics from the instructor's laptop" and present it either live, or on demand later, according to Egyhazi. As with ad hoc meetings, users who have a videoconferencing unit can actually initiate a recording session themselves, without first scheduling it with IT.
