Configuration
In normal operation, the TCC uses access grid technology for video conferencing using the proprietary IOCOM software suite. The lectures take place in the virtual venue named Maths TCC. These lectures may be recorded upon request if permission from participants is obtained in advance.
TCC lectures normally transmit video streams using H.261 and audio as G.711 for compatibility with the freely available AG3 software.
Each Access Grid session is paired with a Jabber/XMPP session on the Access Grid Support Centre (AGSC) Virtual Venue Server. The XMPP session allows instant messaging with other participants allowing fault diagnosis or communication without interrupting a session.
