Video conferencing

After the first year we used video-conferencing to bring all Co-ordinators together for a 2-hour review meeting at least every 2 months. Video studios in up to six centres were used. In between I had telephone contact and occasional visits. The latter were most likely when a new school was being approached, or if there were particular difficulties.

Participate in reviews where appropriate. This should be done in a way that does not generate extra travel since in most cases the multi-disciplined resources will be provided by the Site Reactive Chemicals Committees (See A.l above). (Teleconferencing or video conferencing can be used as an alternative to travel in cases where site multi-disciplined resources do not exist.)... 

Michael Schrage, Massachusetts Institute of Technology One of the seductive dangers of technology is to believe that you can substitute bandwidth for presence. I think it is demonstrably clear that this is not true, and I find it ironic that we waste so much time on teleconferencing and video conferencing. 

Several reliable display device concepts are shown in Fig. 14.13. These devices can be used as a mobile e-reader (a)-(c), an e-book (d), a wearable GPS device (e) or a compact mobile phone with video conferencing capability (f). All the concepts have the advantage of a large display for a small device. 

Selection interviewing can be very stressful, for both interviewer and interviewee, and every attempt should be made to minimise any detrimental impact of this stress. Whilst technology is readily available for interviews to be carried out via some form of video conferencing, in most companies face to face interviewing is still the preferred method. 

Video conferencing needs the transmission of both audio and video data. Since a designer should be able to use the functionality from his own PC, no assumptions about the underlying network can be made. It can be an Ethernet with 100 MBit/s, or it can be based on ISDN with up to 2 MBit/s. For video and audio transmission, therefore, there is a need to adapt to the network capabilities. Products like NetMeeting were designed to work over low-capacity networks, with reduced video quality. Thus, dedicated video and audio transmission tools were developed, better adapting to the network. 

While these video and audio transmission methods were realized as separate tools, together offering a mechanism for video conferencing, in a later project phase the functionality was generalized to offer an independent multimedia data transmission service which can be used in conjunction with a broader spectrum of tools. The communication service which arose from this effort is presented in Subsect. 3.3.6. 

The scenario ends with the discussion of the information returned from the contractor. Video conferencing tools, as developed by the subproject B3, can well be apphed here to allow direct communication between the experts of chemical and plastics engineering (cf. Subsect. 3.3.2). After entering the final decision into the PDW, earlier design steps might need to be revisited if a central assumption of the extruder design had to be changed, e.g., the rotational speed. In cooperation with the AHEAD administration system, PRIME and the PDW can follow the traces and determine the necessary steps (see Subsect. 3.2.6). 

Computer-supported audio or video conferences This is simply the standard telephone or video conferencing, as augmented by each participant having access to a computer and appropriate software. 

Class D is used for multicasting. Multicast applications, such as radio broadcasting or video conferencing, assign additional D class addresses to the participating hosts. 

A much anticipated aspect of online service delivery involves remote services, such as telemedicine, remote education, or teleconsulting. The future of remote services is critically dependent on the maturity of technologies such as 3D and virtual reality software, video conferencing on broader bandwidth, and speech and handwriting recognition. Advances in these technologies are necessary to replicate an environment where physical contact and interaction are essential for providing person services. 

Maria is an engineer in an multinational company which dismantles electronic products like cell phones, televisions, compute, wash-machines and other domestic appliances. Her day starts early in the morning with a fifteen-minute video-conferencing meeting with her interdisciplinary team spread around the world. 

Management must ensure at all times that there is no confusion or misunderstanding among personnel as it can cause accidents, damage to equipments, environmental pollution, and/or loss of production. It is always worthwhile to send the information in the written form rather than oral. This can avoid further misunderstanding in the future. One should use the fastest way of communication processes such as e-mail and video conferencing while communicating. 

We chose this problem because of the increasing demand for efficient and reliable communication protocols in the telecommunication industry. Computer networks, in fact, are gaining an increasing importance as they penetrate business and everyday-life (Stevens, 94). Technological evolution results in increased computational power and transmission capacity. These two phenomena open the way to the development and exploitation of new applications (e.g., video-conferencing) which require demanding services ftom the network. As a result...

Considerable research is done in computer networking by smaller companies. Cisco leads in router research and many other areas, such as wireless access points, video-conferencing equipment, and network management software. Symantec and MacAfee develop a great deal of security software for networks. Google, Yahoo , and Microsoft spend millions every year on research and development to develop a better search engine. 

Video Conferencing Two-way transmission of video images in real time to bring people at different locations together for telemedicine. 

Interactive video, video conferencing, or educational video typically requires two fibers. Broadcast or community antenna television (CATV) video is rapidly changing from the traditional one-fiber, source broadcast to receiver station interaction and, thus, utilizes two fibers. As this last form of video communication services expands, existing and future video systems will require at least two fibers.
