A/V (Audio-Visual) In The Malone Seminar & Conference Rooms
The various seminar rooms in Malone Hall are shared by CS and HEMI and have a variety of A/V capabilities, including Polycom-based video conferencing.
If You Experience Hardware Issues With The A/V Equipment...
The hardware portion of the A/V services in these rooms are supported by JHU's A/V service, known as KIT-CATS. If you're having issues with the A/V hardware (not working or cannot figure out how to use) in a Malone seminar room please contact:
KIT-CATS
(Krieger Information Technology - Classroom Audiovisual Technology Support)
(NOTE: Eventually, CS might supply an IT staff member to help with some basic functionality assistance for the A/V in the seminar rooms. However, KIT-CATS should be your first point of contact.)
Polycom Video Conferencing In a Malone Hall Seminar Room
Video conferencing in the Malone seminar rooms can be accomplished with Polycom-based video conferencing. There is Polycom-related hardware in several of the seminar rooms. Scheduling of a multi-user Polycom video conference is coordinated by JHU's Video Network Operations Center (VNOC).

When Do You Need To Schedule A Polycom Video Conference For Malone Hall?
Scheduling a conference is required when you want more than two participants in the conference (i.e., multi-user.)
If it's only a point-to-point call (one video system connecting to another video system), you do not need to schedule a conference. However, if you want more than two endpoints to connect to a conference, the conference needs to be on "the bridge" maintained by JHU's Video Network Operations Center (VNOC), and therefore, requires scheduling.
