  2. CSU’s HDVC Experience • Conducted competitive bid for LifeSize “Room” or equivalent • Accommodate Ft. Collins, Denver, Pueblo • Winning bid was $10,200 per unit, plus $2,300 per unit for 3-year hardware (NBD) and software service agreement • Sony 52” Bravia XBR monitors added $3500 ea. • Using the system since April

  3. CSU (Cont’d) • Needed something now • LifeSize had the most mature product • Very high quality video and audio • On-site demos were convincing

  6. Conclusions (Cont’d) • Two 52" displays good for VC, a bit small for spreadsheets, etc. • Support has been responsive & effective • First line from GBH • LifeSize engineers very good • Overall, very satisfied • End-users placing calls, enjoying benefits • Fort Collins added 1 unit, Pueblo added 3
