Law Library Video Conferencing

Schulich Video Conference Room

Uses:

Video conferencing allows two or more individuals or groups at different locations to see and hear each other at the same time.  Computer presentations, if used, are also broadcast to all locations.

A live session:

• PhD Review/Defense with Adjudicator elsewhere.
• With a research colleague at another location.
• In a video workshop.
• Interview of potential candidates for study or employment.

Product: Lifesize Team 200
Requirements: There must be a compatible facility at the other end of the video conference. Our system works well with Polycom and Tandberg systems.
Campus Location: Room L115, Law Library.  Key available at Circulation desk.
Room Capacity: up to 10 particpants.
Layout: Conference table facing 2 side-by-side 46" flat screen monitors. The left monitor is for a computer presentation and the right monitor is for the video session. The camera is located over the right monitor.
How to Dress: To ensure that you can be seen clearly by those at the other end of the conference, we recommend that you wear darker colours. As well, busy clothing patterns or strips can cause image shimmer and a general degradation of the overall broadcast picture. For example, a plain tie is better than one with a pattern.
