Chancellor's Office Video Bridge Operational

The Chancellor’s Office video bridge donated to the California Community College system by PictureTel along with free operational support for two years is now operational. The bridge is located in the San Francisco office of PictureTel, and is available for community college use 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Though use of the bridge is free, colleges must pay for any transport charges from their video system to San Francisco (estimated to be approximately $50 per hour).

Multipoint videoconferences are currently limited to seven sites on any given call. The Chancellor’s Office is monitoring usage to determine if the bridge capacity needs to be expanded. Bridge reservation request forms and instructions for filling them out can be found at http://www.cccco.edu/ESED/.

As part of activating the Chancellor’s Office video bridge, PictureTel is asking colleges to participate in a certification process. The process consists in filling out a video room information form and making a test call to PictureTel. Room information forms and instructions for filling them out can also be found at http://www.cccco.edu/ESED/.
