Ben, You're absolutely right and I agree with you 100%.
I apologize for leaving out the full URL to the RIT VV. Here it is: https://vv3.mcs.anl.gov:8000/Venues/8cdd226521d429b68e7e8c0158a6a663 I'm not certain what I need to do to include the IOCOM users??? Please explain further. Shared presentations are a separate frustration for me. The options of trying to install something on the presenters laptop or maintaining a separate machine for running the presenters slides so that it doesn't interfere with my AG control and is compatible with the presenters application (the last one was Mac Keynote with embedded Quicktime) or choosing between VNC or ScreenStreamer or whatever all seem like too complex a set of options for what often is a last minute need to fulfill. The only option i see is going straight from the presenter's laptop via VGA or DVI to a common vic. I'm trying to figure this out quickly because I feel I haven't captured the presenter's presentation very well and my archives looks terrible. I'm thinking, vga to scaler to HDMI on win/mac to a vic that can handle 1080 (H.264?) to take care of any desktop. Since i really want to do uncompressed HD with anyway :-) , this fits in with that goal, too! Presently, I'm trying to shoot the projection or LCD screen with a camera and encoding it with vic264. But the 264 vic still doesn't look that good (due to composite signal going into Videum card? would it be better if it could read the Firewire or USB instead???). Any thoughts?

I'm sure this was done in the past, but has since become forgotten. I heard a couple of years ago that many VV on the ANL servers changed IP address, which prevented our UK servers from connecting to meetings at the same VV room name. > Tom, please can you let me know the details of any ANL virtual venues that > haven't ever changed (and will never change), and we can try to map the UK Toolkit and IOCOM servers with the same details. > > Regards, Ben. > > -----Original Message----- > From: ag-tech-boun...@lists.mcs.anl.gov > [mailto:ag-tech-boun...@lists.mcs.anl.gov] On Behalf Of Gurcharan S.

The tools servers that provide a central management platform can be leveraged in a high performance computing (HPC) environment to reduce the time for long running maintenance tasks. The HPC environment gains efficiencies in power consumption and server utilization.
