IP Video Information for Technology Coordinators
How do I schedule programming?
Click to Meet (CTM) is the recommended software for scheduling calls and programming over IP video. Sites are registered in the CTM database through the process of endpoint certification. CTM utilizes a Web interface, which provides access to the "virtual phone book." CTM can tell when an endpoint is or is not available for a call, and can then make the connection by having the user simply select the desired endpoint. For third-party programming such as Vision Athena, you will follow the existing scheduling procedures for each content provider.
There are some online forms that must be complete in order to schedule origination or reception of video events through the IHETS video bridge. The IHETS video bridging service can link together all types of codecs in the same videoconference -- IP, ATM, and ISDN -- with a maximum capacity of 36 participants. The conference bandwidth will be set at 384 KB. In order to use this bridging service, your codec must be certified with Click to Meet. The video bridge should be used only when a you wish to participate in a multipoint videoconference. If your videoconference is point-to-point, the bridge is not needed. There are no fees associated with utilizing the video bridge.
