IHETS Video Conferencing Scheduling Procedures

Advanced bridging capabilities allow IHETS to join sites with either IP or ISDN codecs in a single multipoint video conference. There is a maximum capacity of 36 participants and conference bandwidth is set at 384 KB. IHETS has implemented QoS (quality of service) technology to facilitate the delivery of high-quality video on H.323 calls.

To schedule a video conference, authorized originators from member institutions should complete the IHETS IP video request form and include the following information:

Description of the event (name of conference or meeting, or course title and number)
*Date(s); start and end times

*To ensure availability, IHETS recommends members schedule their video conferences at least two weeks in advance.

Making changes after a video conference has been scheduled

If a conference is scheduled, authorized originators can make changes, additions, or cancellations if necessary. The IHETS IP video request for change form requires login information (if you need login information, contact the originating institution and/or video conference participants for a project number as proper identification).

Conference originators or organizers will receive a confirmation with the day, time, and bridge access number(s) needed to dial the conference.
