LifeSize is a manufacturer of video conferencing systems. Leyburn Library has a LifeSize Passport video conferencing system available for use. This system will enable users to video conference with individuals around the world who have compatible standards based conferencing equipment. The Passport is a small palm-sized device that includes a camera and microphone.

For this example, I'll go from a Windows machine to Apple, but the process should work in reverse, as well.

If you want to make this easy, you'll need to move all your music into the iTunes folder. There's an easy way to do this: In iTunes go the Advanced menu and choose Consolidate library.

Any music not already in the iTunes folder will not be deleted. You'll just have two copies. One inside the iTunes folder and one outside.

Now quit iTunes and go to My Documents, then My Music, and you should see the iTunes folder. Now you need a place to put that folder. It could be an external drive, a network drive, USB or the fasts is to use a jump drive. Whatever you use just needs to be big enough to hold all your data. Right click on the folder and choose Properties to find out how big it is.

Drag the iTunes folder and copy it to wherever you're temporarily storing it.

Then connect the storage device to the new computer. In this case a Mac.

                1. Install and launch iTunes. If iTunes asks to find your music say "no."

                2. Quit iTunes.

                3. Go to your Music folder.

                4. Move the existing iTunes folder to the trash.

                5. Copy the old iTunes folder off your storage device and put it where the old folder was.

                6. Open iTunes again.

                You should see your familiar library with ratings, play counts, etc.

The LifeSize Passport video conferencing system is compatible with any other system that uses current video conferencing standards via the internet. The brand of conferencing system on the other end is not important as long as it uses the commonly accepted IP based communications standards. These standards are known as H.264, H.263 & H.261.

The LifeSize Passport can be used in any location (on or off campus) where a display with HDMI is available. (A high speed network connection is also required.) Rooms with an HDMI connection include:

Leyburn M40, M41 and M42; the Writing Center and Leyburn 102

Early Fielding 109 and 114

Newcomb 120, 304 and 310

Please contact the Information Desk for possible solutions if you need to video conference on campus in a location that does not have an HDMI display.

The LifeSize Passport available in Leyburn Library will do high definition video up to 720p. The unit will automatically adjust to lower quality video based on network traffic and the capabilities of the video conferencing unit on the other end.

The LifeSize Passport is a point-to-point communications device that uses standard internet infrastructure to transport the audio and video to the other end.

Dialing is done by “calling” the destination unit’s IP address.  Just as every phone has a phone number, every device connected to the network has an IP address.  The person you are calling will give you their IP address and you will “dial” that number.  This is an example of a typical IP address – 137.113.161.15.

There is a problem running the latest version of FlipShare (the software that manages all your Flip videos) on older PCs. Basically, the software detects the processor on your computer and if your processor is not up to its standard, it will shut down, giving you an error message. 

The solution is to download and install the older version of Flipshare. First uninstall Flipshare (Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs), then download and install "Flip Video For PC" v3.7 from here:

http://www.theflip.com/app/prius/37/update/"

The LifeSize Passport system requires a high definition TV, monitor or projector to operate. The display device must have an HDMI input connection. Currently, HDMI-capable displays are limited in number on campus. The system also requires power and a wired network connection.

No. This video conferencing unit is designed for simple point-to-point exchange of what the camera sees and the microphone hears. Even though some video conferencing systems allow for the incorporation of presentations from a computer, the Passport does not.

The IP address of this device will vary based on the location where it is being used. If you need to know the IP address before the time of your conference, the unit will need to be connected to the network in your location prior to the time of your event. An IP address will be automatically assigned and displayed on the screen. You will then need to leave the device hooked to the network to retain that address.

Not at this time.

With PowerPoint 2010, when you have the QuickTime player installed on your computer, you can insert an Apple QuickTime movie (.mov, .mp4) file.

The PowerPoint 2010 64-bit version is not compatible with 32-bit versions of QuickTime or Flash. You must install a 64-bit version of QuickTime or Flash, or a 32-bit version of PowerPoint 2010.
