ANL TPM Video Conferencing
 | AAEM Collaboratory
"Live" Video Transmission |
The ANL TPM Site supports the following
three (3) mode of video conferencing technologies simultaneously. Just choose easiest method for your
site..
- Video Feed via WWW & a Telephone Link
- Audio & Video Feed via CuSeeMe Conferencing Tools
- Audio & Video Feed via Mbone Conferencing Tools
WWW
Two way Video Conferencing using the TPM WWW System Browser is not possible at this time.
You may view the images of any TeleConference in progress using the TeleConference Navigation
Button on the AAEM/TPM Site, however you will not presently receive the audio
over the network, but you can receive an audio feed using a standard telephone connection. One way audio
transmission over the TPM WWW page is readily available, however it is not currently on-line due to the
capabilities implemented in CuSeeMe and the MBone.
MBone
If you have access to the MBone, use your SDR Tool to
access the ANL TelePresence Microscopy Site , full audio and video are linked there or as an alternative
you may use CuSee-Me (Mac/PC) solutions that are outlined below.
Warning: I have found that very few people use the MBone, as a result I rarely leave an SDR session running any longer.
If a TPM User needs an MBone Connection you should first Email me (zaluzec@aaem.amc.anl.gov)
CuSeeMe
If you would like to participate
in the TPM TeleConference Site you can do so using Cu-SeeMe Shareware Software developed by
Cornell University.
You may also download copies of the CuSeeMe Software from the
Microscopy & Microanalysis Software Library below, however the latest versions are always at the Cornell Site.
The following ANL TPM TeleConference sites are
accessible to anyone using CuSeeMe, the controlling factor
is basically whether or not the various computers/software are running at the time
you attempt to connect and at the location you are trying to reach. The addresses
needed to connect using CuSeeMe to the various TPM sites are listed below.
If you want to try a Teleconference check out the AAEM Collaboratory Room View
shown at the top of this page. The Room View is "live" and updated regularly.
If someone is in the Microscope Room, then
you have a good chance of getting through using Cu-SeeMe.
