Don't miss this event of the year for video applications in the research and education community! - The ViDe 2005 Conference Planning Committee ------------------------ About ViDe Formed in 1998, ViDe (Video Development Initiative, http://www.vide.net) is an international organization with the mission to promote the development and deployment of digital video technologies in research and higher education. ViDe's working groups: - Developed the highly acclaimed Video Conferencing Cookbook, now in its fourth revision; - Led H.323 deployment in higher education with the Large Scale Video Network Prototype; - Developed the globally deployed ViDeNet H.323 network; - Provided the underlying architecture for the Internet2 Commons; - Developed a metadata application profile for digital video description and access, the most recent version using MPEG-7; - Continue to provide H.323 leadership through their work in the development of video middleware (e.g. the commObject LDAP schema for authentication, authorization, and directory services) including the recent release of a new videoconferencing standard, ITU H.350, which provides a uniform way to store and retrieve information related to video and voice over IP in enterprise directories. H.350 was developed as a collaborative effort between ViDe and the Internet2 Middleware group and supports H.320, H.323, session initiation protocol (SIP), and non-standard protocols for experimental technologies.
