I'd be happy to participate in some testing - in fact I was going to propose another ConfXP test to the bigvideo group soon - maybe for next thursday?

Unfortunately the interop story remains the same, and we don't have any bridging capability at the moment. Regarding audio/video - you are correct that you can't logically tie a/v devices across multiple machines, and I'd like to better understand the scenario that this serves? We can however support multiple cameras per computer. You comments regarding venue service configuration are valid and I will add this to our wish list for the next release. I would certainly be interested in participating in some testing with anyone who is keen. I think Bob Riddle would be as well - right Bob :-) Regards Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov<mailto:owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov> [mailto:owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov] On Behalf Of Derek Piper Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 8:49 AM To: Douglas Kosovic Cc: Wan Sin NG; ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov<mailto:ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov> Subject: Re: [AG-TECH] Conference XP vs AG Is that still the story on interoperability? Those posts you linked to are years old. Is there a VRVS style bridging thing somewhere?. Sorry to resurect an old thread, I'm getting back into reading the list after vacation. I've taken a look at Conference XP and it's very slick to operate, just run it and go like Bob said. Also does shared applications, including a 'screen streamer' too. The only thing slightly unweidly is the venue stuff, you have to add a venue server to a list of entries and then select it to go to it, as far as I can see there's not the 'url bar' style that AccessGrid has, there are also many less venues, as far as I can tell. Audio and Video seems limited to the client machine, i.e. you can't have multiple machines running cameras and audio and tie them together like AG does, and of course it's Windows only. Running a Venue server is simple enough, and like I mentioned you have to add the url to a drop-down list and then select it to access that server's venues. I'd enjoy doing some distance/conference tests if anyone else wants to play with it too. It'd be interesting to see how it handles many participants. If anyone wants to play with it, email me off-list and let me know. Derek Douglas Kosovic wrote: Hi Wansin, Can ConferenceXP and AGTk interop?
