Media Distribution Systems Projects
Projects listed on this page represent on-going evalutions of commercial and open-source learning technologies. These applications are presently not production-capable, but rather in ‘test/development mode’. They serve as a way to enable faculty and researchers to interact with the application, provide feedback, and assess potential compatibility with their needs. If you have any questions regarding these projects, please contact us.
CampusTV Pilot
alt^I is partnering with Cisco Systems and Video Furnace to implement a pilot project to test and evaluate CampusTV, a software-controlled solution for converging live video to the desktop and other IP devices without requiring installed client side players. Video Furnace encoders and servers handle the tasks of capturing and encoding live video to standards based MPEG streams with quality from VHS to full D1 broadcast. Video is broadcast as either unicast or multicast feeds, enabling UTO to evaluate the product as a potential solution for both on-campus and distance learning applications. More...
Access Grid @ ASU
alt^I is partnering with the ASU College of Education, University of Arizona, and the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, providing technical expertise in media collaboration systems to support the development of a dual doctoral program funded by a grant from the U.S. Dept. of Education. We have implemented Access Grid technology in the COE Farmer Building to facilitate the remote delivery of program coursework. More...
