IMC provides a single
point of contact for individuals wanting to use videoconferencing.
We can connect globally with sites in almost every country
in the world. As a member of the CENIC dedicated system,
we have the ability to host and/or connect to all campuses
within the Cal State, UC, and California Community College
systems, as well as any other system with ISDN384 bonded,
384 kbps capabilities.
Videoconferencing equipment
is available for use in rooms BE 118 and BE 132. The description
and capacity of rooms can be seen under Facility and Services.
See the IMC
Policy Manual for restrictions and procedure to request
a video conference.
Satellite Downlinks
The Instructional Multimedia Center handles all satellite
setups for the AVC campus. The following guidelines are
intended to streamline the process of requesting satellite
downlinks, and help the IMC to continue to provide a valuable
service to the campus community.
- All requests should be made a minimum
of two (2) weeks in advance to ensure availability of
the room, equipment, connectivity and personnel.
- Room reservations, connectivity,
equipment support and technical support will be coordinated
by the IMC staff.
- Most downlinks permit videotaping
of the broadcast for later viewing.
- There are downlink restrictions
concerning copyright, duplication, editing and keeping
rights and these restrictions vary from program to program.
IMC will only operate within the limits of these restrictions.
Requesting this service
is a one-stop process for the end user. IMC has the ability
to downlink and record satellite transmissions on C and
KU band transmissions on two satellite systems: CCCSAT
and Steerable. CCCSAT is funded by the California Community
Colleges Chancellor’s office and has the ability
to host and/or connect to all campuses within the CSU,
UC, and California Community College systems. The steerable
system can be used to select virtually any satellite transmission.
Satellite downlinks are
available for use in rooms BE 118 and BE 132. The description
and capacity of the rooms can be seen under Facility and
Services.
See the
IMC Policy Manual for restrictions and procedure to
request a satellite downlink.
