                Multimedia Lectures by Videoconference
      Dr Patrick Dixon - Videoconferences - Video explanation followed by studio tour and demo


       Why videolinks can be better than being there in person
           Conferences are the ideal place to showcase new ideas and management tools
           
           Use the tools of the future to talk about the future – the medium is the message
           
           Many messages about the digital world can only be delivered remotely
           
           Videoconferencing shows the power of virtual communication to build effective teams and relationships
           

       Limits to globalisation with current management models 
           The current pace of globalisation cannot continue using old management models – more international face-to-face meetings, more travel
           
           Already many industry leaders spend more than 6 weeks a year at 35,000ft
           
           Time away from home is often doubling every 24 months
           
           We have to find other ways to work – and videoconferencing is one
           

       World-class remote lecturing 
           The aim should be that when the audience looks at the big screen, they forget that the podium is empty 
           
           This trick of virtual reality can be achieved using a high-tech multimedia studio 
           
           Well lit presenter in front of a large multimedia screen
           
           Presenter appears on screen as if being filmed in the venue on the podium
           
           Good camera images / excellent sound clarity
           
           Able to walk around /  see whole audience clearly
           
           Able to engage the audience / ask questions / react
           

      So how is this done?
           Top quality standard videoconference PC in venue
           
           Capable of 384kbps (3 pairs ISDN data lines)
           
           Received picture projected on huge screen / sound to sound desk
           
           Images to presenter provided by camera (s) operated by technicians
           
           Sound to presenter provided by roving microphones
           
           For extra call security and stability it is best to use a Bureau, which tests both sites in advance, dials to both, and monitors the connection
           

      How much does it cost
           Example:  London to US using BT Bureau (00 44 207 298 4055)
           
           Total call and bureau charges 2 hours = approximately $1100
           
           Speaker fee is less than half normal - and no travel costs
