Has video really killed the audio star?Cisco Canada
Video has drastically transformed the way we work with remote teams, business partners and customers. We have gone from faceless “who just joined?” audio only solutions to HD quality “better than being there” video options that foster active participation no matter your location or device.
Cisco has modernized and simplified our Video solutions. In this session, we will cover our repertoire of end points (from the pocket to the boardroom), the infrastructure that powers these end points (cloud, hybrid and on-premise), and the integration with other collaboration tools and applications (interoperability with Cisco and other vendor soft phones, hard phones, and conferencing).

JISC Delta Project (University of Bradford)Rob Bristow
Russell Smith discusses using dashboards to monitor and reduce energy usage at university buildings. Dashboards need to provide usable and meaningful information to non-technical users. A pilot program installed energy meters in two large teaching labs over the summer and collected baseline data without informing staff. Dashboards will be designed with user input to display simple and easy to understand information about energy usage and savings in the labs.
Energy dashboards & change programmes ja 140611bRob Bristow
The document discusses Manchester University's Carbon Credit Scheme, which aims to reduce carbon emissions by providing building occupants easy-to-understand data on utility consumption and the effects of their actions. The initial phase will publish online electricity consumption data for all buildings starting in August 2011. Future phases will expand the data to include other utilities and explore financial incentives to encourage further reductions. The scheme is coordinated by a working group and aims to engage occupants to work with estates management on carbon reduction initiatives.
The document discusses two research projects at De Montfort University aimed at reducing energy consumption through information and communication technologies. The first project uses an interface to connect building users to their electricity consumption data. The second project aims to design a smartphone and web application allowing users to understand energy consumption across university buildings using augmented reality tools. Both projects seek to increase transparency around energy use and empower users to reduce consumption through access to near real-time consumption data at precise building locations.
The document discusses several projects from the JISC Greening ICT Programme meeting in March 2011. It summarizes multiple research and technical innovation projects aimed at reducing the environmental impact of information and communication technologies. Projects focused on areas like virtual conferencing to reduce travel, monitoring energy usage of data centers and computing resources, and developing applications and tools to engage users in reducing energy consumption.
This document discusses drivers for green ICT including reducing costs and carbon emissions. It outlines some of the key issues like high energy use of desktops, servers, and printing. Solutions proposed include power management, virtualization, consolidation, procurement standards, and exemplar projects. The document also summarizes current and potential future projects focused on areas like data centers, cloud computing, thin clients, and energy reporting.
The document describes an assembly of 303 X3D files that make up a virtual 3D model of the University of Sheffield campus containing 48 grid blocks covering over 48 hectares, 71 university buildings with 114 floors, and 38 groups of non-university buildings. It also discusses the use of spatial taxonomic modelling (STM) to model specific areas like the Jessop West and Information Commons buildings and shows them in the context of the overall campus model.
This document discusses branding and communications strategies for JISC projects. It recommends that projects acknowledge JISC funding, use the JISC logo, and communicate key messages about how projects help institutions. It provides guidance on using the JISC website, wiki, and blog to communicate project activities. The document also offers tips on creating multimedia content, organizing events, publishing materials, and distributing news items while following JISC's branding guidelines. Contact information is provided for JISC staff who can offer further advice on communications and marketing.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for green information and communication technology (ICT) at universities. It finds that the ICT sector accounts for 2% of global CO2 emissions and that university campuses have significant energy usage and costs associated with desktop computers, servers, printers, and other ICT equipment. Regulations and standards are pushing for more sustainable practices. Green ICT agendas over the next decade aim to improve energy efficiency of data centers, desktops, and architectures through technologies like virtualization and remote processing. Further opportunities exist in areas like low-impact materials and renewable energy for data centers.
The document discusses an institutional program called the Institutional Responses to Emergent Technologies program. The one-year program aims to understand how institutions are responding to emerging technologies, including which technologies are generating interest, how responsibilities are being distributed within institutions, and challenges being faced. The program includes several pilot projects investigating engagement with emergent technologies and will synthesize findings and evaluate outcomes.

Video-conferencing – A new NREN Service
2. Vision
» Video-conferencing that is:
› High quality
› Easy to use
› Works in rooms, on desktop and mobile devices
› High quality content sharing
› Recording and streaming
› Secure
› Value for money
› Scalable
› Interoperable
TENET 2
3. What’s wrong with conferencing?
» The room is booked out or locked
» The support people have gone home
» The equipment is out of commission
» There is echo on the audio feed
» The video and or audio quality is poor
» I can conference from a room but why can’t I join
from my laptop or cell phone or iPad at my desk, or
at home or from anywhere in the world?
» I want to easily share content from whichever
device I am using
» Etc…

5. Vidyo as Solution
» Capacity of up to 300 concurrent calls viaVidyo Desktop and mobile devices
» A 24 port shared dynamic bridge to connect H.323/SIP endpoints toVidyo meetings and vice-
versa
» A range of integration options for Microsoft Lync, Outlook and GoogleMail, including Lync
Gateways to allow Lync/Vidyo/H.323 calls.
» WebRCT enablement is due for release soon.
» Desktop clients available at no extra charge forWindows, MacOS, Linux. Mobile clients
available for Android and iOS in their respectiveApp stores.
» Access to educational pricing on physicalVidyo Room systems and equivalent software
editions where required for equipping conference rooms.
» Help desk and an advisory service to institutions in meeting their own in-house requirements
for room and desktop based conferencing.

6. What isVidyo?
» A software approach to videoconferencing
» Uses SVC (ScalableVideo Codec) and intelligent routing of video and
audio streams to multiple endpoints
» Encoding and decoding is done on the endpoints
» Uses of the shelf non-proprietary peripherals
» Solutions for mobile devices up to full-fledged conference rooms
» Scales to meet capabilities of what it’s running on and network capacity
» Will support 4K (or even 5K screens now)

22. Vidyo at CERN
» CERN needed to scaleV-C capabilities
» TraditionalV-C was way too expensive
» Settled onVidyo
» 20,000 user accounts
» Routers in many locations (one coming on line
in CapeTown)
» Over 800 concurrent connections at peak
» Cool graphic here: http://avc-
dashboard.web.cern.ch`/Vidyo
» CERN askedTENET to provide hosting for
Vidyo Router for SA use
22
23. Vidyo at SKA
» Needed to expand video-conferencing
hugely
» Existing and emerging H.323/SIP
technologies were difficult to use, and very
expensive and were not good for the
desktop/mobile
» Trialed other systems (Zoom, Blue Jeans),
as well as consumer level applications
(Skype,Google Hangouts) but came down
forVidyo
» Have in-houseVidyoGateway but use
TENET’sVidyoPortal and Router
