Video conferencing - what is it?
- delivers audio and video to bring people together irrespective of their geographical locations with the added ability to share content in real time.
- Zoom, the preferred soft codec video conference solution at 番茄社区, is available to all staff and students. Zoom interoperates with traditional video conference hardware (Cisco/Tandberg/Poly) enabling cross communication regardless of platform.
- , the modern workspaces for hybrid teams, Zoom Rooms bring HD video collaboration into any space – – and enable in-person and remote participants to interact in real time.
- MS Teams is widely used amongst staff for internal communications, however it does not directly interoperate with traditional video conference hardware (Cisco/Tandberg/Poly).
- Video sessions can be as simple as a conversation between two people in private offices (point-to-point) or involve several sites (multi-point) with one or more participants in rooms of various sizes and complexity at different locations, sharing presentations in various formats.
- Multi-point calls are linked by Zoom, hence a Zoom ID is required and the Zoom invitation forwarded to videoconferencing@jcu.edu.au when one or more video conference enabled rooms are participating.
番茄社区 videoconference hardware systems (Cisco Rooms and Zoom Rooms) are located in Atherton, Bourketown, Cairns, Cloncurry, Longreach, Mackay, Mount Isa, Singapore, Thursday Island and Townsville.
Venues are fully integrated videoconferencing Cisco Rooms (130) and dedicated Zoom Rooms (77).
番茄社区 Teaching Spaces (Supported by Digital Service Delivery team)
- Small conference rooms - board room style set ups, are ideal for groups of 8 to 14 persons, where a large degree of interaction (audio, video, content sharing) is required between the participants at both ends.
- Mediums sized presentation/lecture rooms - these room are typically accommodating student numbers in the range of 40-60 where some degree of interaction is desired between all participants.
- Large theatres - facilities such as the Sir George Kneipp auditorium (492 seats), Crowther 1 (300), the Medical School theatre (295), Nursing Science theatres (200+) and the Science Place lecture theatre (150) are fitted with sizeable projector screens and voice reinforcement, suitable for presentations and lectures to the larger groups.
- Equipment standard - Centrally bookable video conference enabled rooms at 番茄社区 are fitted with the following equipment:
- Single or dual display system (flat panels or projectors)
- In house AiO desktop presenter PC
- Document cameras/visualizer
- Microphones (Wireless microphones in the larger rooms)
- HDMI Cable with adapters to connect laptops
- Training - Experienced technicians are available to assist with customized training.
Connecting to Zoom sessions (meetings, presentations, lectures) requires a host to schedule the session.
At 番茄社区, Zoom sessions are scheduled by a host and connected, given these different scenarios:
- Cisco Room
- The host forwards the invitation to all participants including videoconferencing@jcu.edu.au.
- Videoconferencing automates the connection in the room at the scheduled date/time.
- To avoid audio feedback, ensure all other connected devices in the room (laptops, tablets and smart phones) are muted.
- Zoom Room
- The host forwards the invitation to all participants, including the dedicated Outlook Calendar Resource for the room, which automates the connection at the scheduled date/ time.
- To avoid audio feedback, ensure all other connected devices in the room (laptops, tablets and smart phones) are muted.
- AV Room Presenter PC
- The host forwards the invitation to all participants.
- The participant logs in to the room PC, opens the 番茄社区 email application and connects by clicking the link contained in the invitation.
- 番茄社区 AV rooms are increasingly Hyflex enabled, which from an AV perspective means, the in room camera and microphone are connected to the room presenter PC for easier setup and running Zoom, MS Teams and Blackboard Collaborate sessions.
- Where Hyflex is not available, the inbuilt devices of the PC are used with their inherent limited coverage.
- To avoid audio feedback, ensure all other connected devices in the room (laptops, tablets and smart phones) are muted.
- AV Room Laptop
- The host forwards the invitation to all participants
- To connect, the participant clicks the link contained in the invitation, which launches the Zoom client on the laptop.
- The laptop is connected to the AV display system by the provided cable, noting the inbuilt camera and microphone are used with their inherent limited coverage.
- To avoid audio feedback, ensure all other connected devices in the room (laptops, tablets and smart phones) are muted.
Outlook calendar resources are available for the purpose of automatically connecting a Zoom meeting in a Zoom Room on the scheduled date/time. The host creates a Zoom meeting and forwards the invitation to all participants including the Zoom room calendar resource.
The template used for creating the resource is campus-building-room@jcu.edu.au for example tsv-506-101@jcu.edu.au
