Saves money: it can lower your expenses as there is no need for all the costs involved with travelling, such as accommodation and tickets |
|
|
|
Saves space: you can video conference with many more people than would fit into a single meeting room because each party will be using their own facilities |
|
|
|
Saves time: video conference communication and meetings are often much shorter in total as no travel is involved. A meeting that may take you away for days from work due to travel, may take only one or two hours using a video conference |
|
|
|
Encourages communication: you can communicate more regularly with people in other districts or countries, which would usually be costly or impossible if you had to travel |
|
|
|
Generates ideas: a telephone call or e-mail is not always the best way to communicate with another person. Interactive meetings can help to generate ideas, and enable people to read and react to others' sensitivities |
|
|
|
Encourages collaboration: video conferencing allows for collaboration by document sharing. Many people in different areas can work on the same project and make contributions |
|
|
|
Shares information: many institutions can receive the same broadcast simultaneously, and thus a much greater level of participation can be gained. For example, a lecture being broadcast to students at many different educational institutions |
The video-conference suite can accommodate 28 people in a theatre style seating arrangement or 15 working places. It can also be set out for much smaller groups or single users in an informal set-up.
The studio features a large 42-inch plasma screen display, a Polycom FX video-conferencing unit, a main digital camera, Promethean ActiveBoard, facility to share computer presentations live in a video-conference, and ten computers with internet connection. Our staff will be on hand to help you use all facilities.
