(1) ITU H.320 or H.324 for videoconferencing over a
public switched telephone network (PSTN), private line facility, or
integrated switched digital network (ISDN);
(2) ITU H.323/SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) for
videoconferencing over the Internet; or
(3) Proprietary vendor protocols as long as the institution
of higher education has received certification from the vendor stating
that the vendor's equipment and proprietary software protocol release
version meet or exceed the required ITU standards.
(b) When using a computer web conferencing system at
the primary dedicated video room environment site, a large monitor
and adequate speakers shall be used.
(c) Audio signals from the remote dedicated video room
environment(s) shall be of similar quality and volume as the local

each meeting location. Additional monitors shall be placed, as necessary,
to ensure a clear view by all in attendance.
(e) If an institution of higher education uses a dedicated
video room environment for the dedicated camera and speaker equipment
but is using a computer-based videoconferencing application that is
not part of the proprietary dedicated video room equipment setup,
then the institution of higher education must comply with all minimum
standards for computer-based application software and is not subject
to the requirements of a dedicated video room environment.
