  1. A Few Key Terms: Loosely Defined • Call: Point-to-Point communication between 2 sites • Endpoint: A Terminal, Gateway, or MCU • Gatekeeper: Access control + a little bit more • Gateway: Translation between two technologies • IP: Internet Protocol • MCU: (Multipoint Control Unit) Endpoint allowing communication between three or more sites. Not needed for a point-to-point conference.

  2. Top Issues Related to Deployment of this Technology in Oklahoma • Available Bandwith • Codec Interoperability • Network Paths • MCU Access • Integration into the Teaching Environment

  3. Available Bandwidth • End user sites • Hub sites

  4. Endpoint Interoperability • Intel/ Picture Tel • Polycom • Vtel • Others

  5. Common H.323 endpoints in Oklahoma are: • Intel Teamstation (PC based) • January 2000 State Contract Price: • w/monitor=$7,039.36 • w/o monitor=$5,759.36 • http://www.onenet.net/ops/C99018a.html • Polycom (Set based/Appliance) • January 2000 State Contract Price: • Viewstation = $4,373.27

  6. Network Choices/ Paths • This is a good one • Chaos • Bonus Tip: Watching McGyver reruns is probably your best bet in resolving this one

  7. MCU Access in Oklahoma • OneNet Hub Sites - White Pine • OSU- Accord • Pioneer - Video Server

  8. The reality is…… • H.323 has been deployed in Oklahoma and you will see it. • OneNet is pressing to move in this direction • You need to know a little about it.

  9. Integration into a Teaching Environment • This is a “biggie” but has been largely ignored • Utilization of content resources has been largely ignored • It needs to be more seamless than it is

  10. Solutions are often technology oriented and not student and teacher oriented.

  11. Scenarios you may encounter • An existing DL studio • The “Roll About Cart”

  12. The Existing Studio

  13. The “Roll About Cart”

  14. Pi A sample setup for making your H.323 conferencing equipment more teacher friendly H.323 Mobile Codec Classroom Monitor OneNet/ Internet (Video, Data,Telephone) Document Camera Instructor Camera LAN/Intranet Speakers Instructor Mic Instructor PC

  15. OneNet/ Internet (Video, Data,Telephone) Existing Studio LAN/Intranet A/V Switcher This may work to make your H.323 conferencing equipment more teacher friendly if you have an existing studio H.323 Codec
