AVIT Video Guide

This section is intended to aid users in requesting the correct type of AVIT equipment for their planned classes or event, it is not an exhaustive manual or technical guide. Any questions or requests for support for these features should be directed to IT Services, who will require at least five working days notice to provide on-site support.

AVIT Video Terms   

Videoconferencing (hybrid conferencing)   

Rooms with hybrid Videoconferencing facilities (using Zoom) can link to anywhere on campus (or in the world) with a compatible Videoconferencing system. Videoconferencing allows the speaker to monitor and interact with attendees in the other venue as well as share PC presentations. This is a useful option for events which demand participation from all venues. Please note that only a small number of spaces have hybrid conferencing facilities.

Echo360 (aka Lecture Recording)

Echo360 is a cloud-based system for scheduled automatic recordings for lecturers. The video of the speaker, audio, and visual materials (features include automatic transcription, captioning, video quizzing, polling, video editing and analytics) are recorded for later use but can also be used to stream a lecture over the web to another venue with a PC. Please note that this will not permit the speaker to interact with the second venue. For further information please contact the Echo360 team.

Zoom

Zoom comes pre-installed with every learning space PC, but bear in mind that not all spaces will have a USB microphone and/or camera (USB Conferencing loan kits can be borrowed from AV Services). This option can be useful when the event's speaker will not be present on campus. When hosting sessions with a speaker who is 'calling in' over Zoom, consider booking a 'test' session or allocating additional time before your event, to ensure the connection can be tested.
