included live H.323 384 Kbps CIF H.261videoconferencing, live
1.3 Mbps MPEG-1 native multicast streams with on-demand replay, and live
Windows Media Player streams at low bandwidth for dial-up modem
access. MPEG broadcast and recording technology was donated by Cisco

WMP stream broadcast technology was provided by Veraview,
Inc., and the head-end

Dr. Daniel G. Hankins presenting his research findings
on Controversies in Out-of-Hospital Airway Management at our first
successful on-line Extended Grand Rounds event
on the Internet on May 11, 2001. Seven sites in North
America and Europe enjoyed 384 Kbps near-broadcast
quality live participation, 1.3 Mbps live MPEG-1 streams and
MPEG-1 on-demand replay immediately afterwards.

State University Department of Surgery discussing future
possibilities after the on-line presentation and Q & A session.

Some of the control and monitoring systems at the
WNY-HPNVI Conference Control facility at UB
are shown here during our first successful live
international event. Mixed Internet1/Internet2
"real-world" sites, heterogeneous endpoints and
infrastructure components, mixed 320 and 323 systems,
and several firewall passages stood in the way of
this singular success for over three years.

Dr. Ellis at ECMC with his new patient-bedside roll-about system developed and installed by Veraview, Inc. The
system uses a Polycom videoconferencing system, a
Samsung display and an extra MiniDV camera mounted
on top of the cart. The unit on the wheel-base is a UPS.
This system will be used for our first serious trials of wireless
LAN technology for intra-institutional IP video transport in
the near future.

Wega system developed and installed by Veraview, Inc. This
system is intended to serve small group through auditorium sized
needs ranging from clinical consults to events like Grand Rounds.

Here's the portable (Well, if you're big and strong, it
really can be moved!) video production center developed by Dr. Ellis
at ECMC for real-time video production control during
on-line events. His new bedside roll-about system is
immediately to the left.
