SeeVogh

SeeVogh is the next generation in video collaboration software produced by EVOGH, the makers of EVO. SeeVogh is a cloud-based, high-definition, multi-point, video collaboration solution. SeeVogh permits users to connect in a dynamic display of multiple video images, multiple simultaneously shared desktops with public and private text chat.

QCIF will provide SeeVogh as a trial free service from 1st of September 2012 to 30th June 2013.  With Commonwealth funding no longer being provided, QCIF is providing a pathway that will allow users to continue to benefit from video-collaboration.  The EVO service will be discontinued from 1st November and we recommend that existing users transition to SeeVogh before this date.

Regular users of this service will be encouraged to obtain their own license, as this trail service will discontinue from July 2013.  SeeVogh has many licenses modelling, allowing users to the install the SeeVogh software on their own infrastructure, using cloud infrastructure or using their "prepaid service".  The costs associated with this is generally a fraction of the costs compared to other mainstream Video Conferencing/Collaboration services.  SeeVogh has been adopted by Internet2 in the United States and is becoming a mainstream service for the research sector.

SeeVogh benefits include:

  • High-definition video provides high-quality visual information meetings that can be created by anyone with a SeeVogh account. Information on how to obtain an account can be found below (see Accounts Section);
  • Only the person creating a meeting requires an account. Meeting invitees are not required to login in or to authenticate. This works wells with communicating with international colleagues or industry partners;
  • Meetings may be password-protected for security purposes;
  • Desktop Streaming allows sharing of presentations, documents, web pages and computer program displays;
  • Provides the ability to connect to H.323/SIP devices. The moderator of the meeting can dial a H.323/SIP device. Additionally, currently in beta, SeeVogh allows H.323/SIP devices to dial directly into a meeting;
  • Text chat for instant group messaging, or individual messaging;
  • Easy installation and auto-updating for new releases;
  • Available for Android;
  • Available for iPad (3rd generation and higher) and iPhone (iPhone 4 and higher).

The following Links provide information on getting started.

Creating a Meeting

Registered users will log into the SeeVogh website. Once Authenticated, simply select the "My SeeVogh" menu option and select "Create a Meeting".

It is suggested that first-time users watch the two-minute video on how to create a meeting.

Meeting Quality notes:

  • Generally - selecting quality "high" will provide the best experience for general SeeVogh meetings.
  • Selecting the quality "720p" or "1080p" will requires significant computer system capabilities to process this level of video quality. This is not recommends for users who will be connecting using an older computer system, or connecting from a limited network capability.
  • When creating a meeting, ensure to select more time and participates than required. SeeVogh currently doesn't allow you to extend or add extra participants.

Testing SeeVogh

If you would like to Test SeeVogh without having to create a meeting, you can join the QCIF SeeVogh Test Room.  Please be aware that you do not require a SeeVogh account use this Test Room.  This facility has been made available to allow users to test SeeVogh, thus ensuring everything is working as expected. Currently this "Test Room" has no participants, but we are developing a system to ensure some recorded videos are looped to provide an even greater testing facility.
