Videoconferencing is the process of communicating between distant sites through the use of video cameras, monitors, microphones and speakers using communication links.

Videoconferencing

Videoconferencing is intended for groups ranging from just a few participants to a large number of participants. High quality camera and microphone units, along with large video monitors and speaker systems enable audio and video communications with a single or multiple distant sites. Audio-video signals are transmitted at digital speeds of 384 Kbps over special phone lines (ISDN) or special networks. Document camera images, videotape images, slides and other media can be communicated via this system along with PowerPoint presentations.

The Wichita Room serves as the primary videoconferencing classroom. A small group videoconferencing area is in the Great Plains Room and Roberts Amphitheater serve as the large group videoconferencing facility. Videoconferencing can also be scheduled in the Great Plains, Santa Fe, Meadow Lark and Sunflower Rooms with the use of a portable videoconferencing system.
