Interactive video conferencing is the transmission of high quality, real-time audio and video between two or more locations. There are two common standards for interactive video conferencing. The H.320 is for switched circuit telecommunications (dedicated T1 or ISDN) and the H.323 for Internet Protocol networks. Currently we primarily use the H.320 standard, but most sites have H.323 capability. The network's video units range in manufacturer from PictureTel, VTel and Polycom.
Each site with T1 access will have a technological assistant who knows and understands the technology. T1 lines are installed in specific locations and are not moveable. In order to schedule a videoconference via T1 technology, contact the Center for Development and Disability (CDD).
