Video Conferencing Service Enhancement

Video Conferencing service is provided to facilitate audiovisual communications around the world.  It is used by our faculties to conduct meetings and remote teaching with their overseas counterparts. Precious traveling time and cost have been saved.

To further enhance our Video Conferencing service, JUCC (Joint Universities Computer Center) has recently upgraded the Accord MCU (Multi-Point Control Unit) for use by HARNET members. Video Conferencing can now be conducted among several parties with improved video quality and stability. Functions like high quality broadcasting of distinguished lectures to other tertiary institutions become feasible.

Besides, the ITSC video conferencing room has been refurnished to provide better lighting control. A backdrop with university logo is also added.
