MIT on the Access Grid
If you're an MIT researcher with a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), chances are good that you share that funding with partners at other universities. When it's time to make a presentation on your research to the NSF, everyone involved can participate without having to travel – thanks to the Access Grid, an advanced web-conferencing resource that allows multiple camera feeds from each of the participating Access Grid nodes to appear on the high-resolution displays at every site. Funded by IS&T, MIT's node on the Access Grid is a state-of-the-art facility in 9-152. Managed by the Libraries' Academic Media Production Services (AMPS), the room is equipped with several large projection systems, cameras, a Crestron control panel and a high-end microphone system for clear transmission. While key to communications with the NSF, the AMPS' facility can be used for web conferencing with any of the numerous other sites on the Access Grid. For information about tapping into this high-tech facility, visit the AMPS Access Grid web page. You can also learn more online about the Access Grid itself.
