The upcoming Missouri Technology Expo will use Lifesize videoconferencing systems installed at the Columbia and St. Louis campuses of the University of Missouri to bring researchers and entrepreneurs from the two campuses together for this exciting conference. Participants at the Columbia campus will be able to discuss important developments in technology transfer from the Monsanto Auditorium in the Bond Life Science Center with their colleagues on the University of Missouri St. Louis, saving the University hundreds of dollars in travel costs and increasing collaboration between the campuses. These systems were installed for the University as part of their three year contract with Kaleidoscope Videoconferencing for discounted Lifesize systems. All educational institutions in Missouri are eligible for this pricing, contact us for details. For more information on this conference or to register, see below

MISSOURI TECHNOLOGY EXPO 2011

Registration is open for the September 8th Missouri Technology Expo 2011. This event is being held in the Christopher S. Bond Life Sciences Center on the MU Campus.   Find out about advancing discoveries, inventions and innovations created in Missouri Universities.

People innovate ways to solve problems every day. Too often these dreams go unrealized. The challenge lies in connecting the innovators with those who have the resources and the business sense to bring dreams to fruition. The Missouri Technology Expo will create a bridge uniting innovators with those whose resources can advance research as well as develop and commercialize technologies. The Expo will foster relationships between the MU academic community and industry partners and thus serve as catalyst for economic development.

It’s all about people. It’s about networking and building bridges – creating success based on partnerships from the very beginning.

Vision and Goals:   Technology today, propelling the innovations of tomorrow

• Encourage scientific advancements, innovation and learning
• Create awareness of on-going research in Missouri
• Establish relationships with potential commercial partners
• Market technologies for license or research collaborations
• Stimulate investment and economic development
• Provide a unique educational experience

Register to attend and join  in celebrating discoveries, inventions and innovations in the state of Missouri.

“Having been involved in videoconferencing for over a decade on the UM Columbia Campus, I was very excited about putting a high definition videoconferencing system to use on our campus. We conducted a two-day “Shoot out” of all the HD videoconferencing systems on the market and LifeSize from Kaleidoscope was the clear winner. They offer the best price and performance. We have been using our systems for over a year now and are very happy with our choice.”

“We all (four campuses) worked together on the decision making process with the intent of enhancing the ability of researchers on different campuses to collaborate on projects. After narrowing it down to 3-4 systems, we agreed that Kaleidoscope’s offering–LifeSize HD Videoconferencing–was the best. I have known Scott for a long time and he’s very respected and knowledgeable in the field, so once the project evolved we decided to have Kaleidoscope install a LifeSize System in the large Monsanto Auditorium as well.”

Lifesize Room and Team support VGA and 720P and in most cases will autodetect the type of connected display. If you encounter a display that isnot automatically detected, VGA or 720P can be manually selected via aseries of commands from the Lifesize Phone (you can also change thesesettings from the UI but if the display is not detected you will nothave a screen to work off). Once the system is fully booted press add,mute, add, mute on the Phone, enter the system password (default is1,2,3,4) and press mute (the mute button behaves like enter). Press 1for preferences then press 1 or 2 (Room only) for the display you wishto configure. You can now select VGA or 720P manually but 99% of thetime you will be going through this exercise to force VGA. This processcan also be followed when a display is partially detected and onlyshowing green making it difficult to navigate the UI. Detailedinstructions are located on page 17 of the Room user guide.
