Video Conference Facilities

Limited Videoconference facilities are available. The room should be booked via Reception. There is a conference phone and also a PC based system suitable for a single person to interact with other sites. The PC runs Skype and also a Polycom system which will interwork with standard videoconferencing systems at other sites.

Use the Polycom PVX for IP video conferencing, you should switch on the camera by making sure the lens cover slider at the front is fully to the right before you login to the machine, if you omit to do this exit the Polycom application, switch on the camera and after the firmware has downloaded to it relaunch the PVX application.

Skype uses the Kodak camera on the top of the monitor and a microphone on the lighting bar via the mixer for input and speakers for output. You should enable the microphones by depressing the Phantom power switch at the top right of the mixer desk. If you switch to using the headset then please reconnect the sockets on the PC to use the mixer when you have finished.
