On April 1, 2009. Kaleidoscope Videoconferencing was awarded contract Q013009 by the University of Missouri for the Furnishing and Delivery of LifeSize Videoconferencing Equipment to its four campuses, MOREnet and all MOREnet connected institutions , from colleges and universities to K12 schools and public libraries. This contract allows all of these institutions to directly purchase LifeSize equipment off this contract at the best possible price. LifeSize was the first company to introduce high definition videoconferencing and remains the leader in the field today. Easy to use, easy to setup and amazing to see, a distance learning classroom powered by LifeSize offers the best quality experience for teachers and students alike.

Comparing a Distance Learning Classroom powered by a LifeSize system to standard I-TV system is like comparing apples to oranges. “HD changes everything” says one instructor. Forgot worrying about whether your students can see enough detail or hear you. With LifeSize, the technology fades into the background, so you can concentrate on what you are there to do in the first place: Teach.

LifeSize delivers higher quality video using less bandwidth than any other video system on the market. All LifeSize systems are backwardly compatible with existing systems, offering a easy transition to the world of High Definition Videoconferencing. Schedule a Demo and you’ll be able to see for yourself.

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.
