Access Grid Video Conferencing Application

This application complements other videoconferencing applications such as Breeze, WebX, and Skype. Slide presentations and white-boards can be shared among participants.

At its simplest, the Access Grid is a collection of familiar resources (projectors, cameras, microphones) linked by networked computers to enable audiovisual collaboration between remote participants: videoconferencing. However, in contrast to familiar point-to-point services or ISDN-based teleconferencing between a small number of sites, the Access Grid scales to handle large numbers of participating groups. Just as importantly, the Access Grid provides interfaces to Grid middleware enabling the creation of new tools for collaborative visualization, data-sharing, remote control of instruments and interaction with other grid resources.

Multiple Access Grid screens with active video
An Access Grid (AG) display wall is available in Sumwalt 219 for video conferencing. Contact rcchelp@cas.sc.edu to view Access Grid or to schedule a video conference.
