Video Conferencing Resource Site

The Video Conferencing Point of Contact and the MCU Databases are now on-line and live.  Conceived at NETC 2002, the databases are provided to ease the burden of coordinating university to university video conferences.  The databases are open to all universities and research facilities especially sites on Internet2.  

Whether you are looking for someone to schedule an event, provide technical assistance or help establish an H.320(ISDN) or H.323(IP)  video connection, it is often very useful to know who to contact at the far end. The Point of Contact (POC) database provides a directory of event schedulers, and video conferencing technical support personnel at each institution.  

The Multipoint Conferencing Unit (MCU) and Bridge database will help you find a site, large or small, capable of hosting your multi-point conference.  

A central directory is successful only if the information is significantly comprehensive and accurate.  If your institution has video conferencing personnel (scheduling or technical) please get them added to the database.  This resource is not just for agriculture or Extension but for all universities and research facilities.  MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL. By creating a link from your videoconferencing web site to this directory you can help spread the word to other institutions.
