Room systems
Room systems are permanently installed in a room. They use with the ITU standard H.323 standard the Internet, or with the standard H.320 the ISDN telephone network. Together with motion pictures and sound, presentations with high resolution (up to 1680 x 1050 pixels) can be transmitted using standard H.239.
Because the permanent installation is equipped with special microphones and loudspeakers as well as a custom illumination an almost perfect transmission is possible. A camera control, document cameras and personal computers via VNC connections enable the best presentations. The devices also have recording capabilities.
You´ll only need the E.164 number of the device (always in the form 0049 30 8062 5xxx, xxx is the variable part at HZB) to reach the HZB room system.
Direct IP-dialling is not intended.
If you encounter connectitvity issues (eg no H.323 capable system at the partner), please use the DFN-MCU and their Gateways as an interconnection system. With this web page you may create a conference ID, which you and your partners have to use to connect. There are many ways to connect to the DFN-MCUs, the possiblities are documented there, too.
At the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin there are the following room systems available:
