NSHE-wide Videoconferencing System
SCS develops, maintains, and supports an NSHE-wide videoconferencing system for academic and administrative meetings as well as applications in research, medicine, criminal justice, and other public functions. Our vast range of videoconferencing services include:
- Statewide delivery of video transmissions to and from 200+ NSHE and approved non-NSHE sites
- Worldwide delivery of video transmissions to and from authorized dial-in sites
- Automated conference connection/disconnection and service quality monitoring
- A robust scheduling system, including user-friendly, web-based scheduling software
- Scheduling system training and an active, SCS-facilitated scheduling system user group
- New site evaluation, equipment specification, and installation consultation
- ISDN and IP communication options
Videoconferences can be scheduled 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Training, consultations, and other services are scheduled as needed. NSHE institutions initiating educational conferences receive priority scheduling. SCS schedules occasional system downtime to implement service improvements. Planned maintenance generally occurs on weekends or during non-business hours when no conferences are scheduled. SCS notifies users of planned outages at least two weeks in advance.
