Litton Network Access Systems and UCAID Collaborate on MPEG-2 Video Applications

released December 14, 1999

The University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID)and Litton Network Access Systems (LNAS) are working together to provide a higher level of videoconferencing to Internet2 events. LNAS has provided five MPEG-2 video encoders/decoders (codecs) for videoconferencing and high-quality, remote video presentations to events such as Internet2 Days, workgroup sessions, and member meetings.

Three CAMVision-2 codecs will be permanently installed in UCAID offices in Ann Arbor, MI; Armonk, NY; and Washington, DC. In addition to real-time videoconferencing between their offices, UCAID can also offer Internet2 members and prospective members a location to demonstrate the application of TV-quality video interactivity. Two mobile CAMVision-2 units will also be available to travel to other Internet2 events.
