- Deployment of a range of video conferencing solutions including:
- Soft client running on a Windows machine with audio and video
capabilities in a small room (candidate in N42). - Hardware based video phone in an office environment (candidate in
10-219 with potential additional units in W92 and N42). This will
include a low-end Grandstream video phones and a high-end Polycom
V700, if available for testing from Polycom. - Hardware base video conferencing system in a medium sided
conference room (candidate W92-199 - reuse existing hardware).
(High-end "telepresence" systems will not be evaluated at this
time.)
- Soft client running on a Windows machine with audio and video
- Evaluation of a soft client running on a Macintosh
- Deployment of a conferencing system that supports user initiated,
"on-the-fly" conferences. The Polycom RMX 2000 has been identified
as a candidate for testing and evaluation and will be dependent on
the availability of a loaner unit from Polycom. - The above will be tested and the following reported:
- Interoperability between various combinations in both
point-to-point and multipoint conferences. - Interoperability with other components in our SIP infrastructure
including VoIP phones and gateways. - Video and audio quality including the support for H.264 video and
G.722 wideband audio. - Ease of use by end users setting up and using conferences.
- Interoperability between various combinations in both
- A project notebook will be maintained in a wiki.
- A final report and recommendation based on the above.
