General Information
VAVS - Videoconferencing and Audio Visual Services
Videoconferencing and Audio Visual Services (VAVS) are responsible for the provision of equipment and support services in Common Teaching Rooms (CTR) and centrally bookable Videoconferencing (VC) rooms, currently some 125 rooms in Cairns, Thursday Island, Townsville (Douglas campus) and Townsville CBD combined.

VAVS maintains and controls systems in Cairns (Smithfield campus), Cairns CBD, Thursday Island, Townsville (Douglas campus) and Townsville CBD and also provide videoconferencing infrastructure services such as bridging for multi site conferences including connections to conferences all over the world over IP, ISDN and telephone.
In February 2017, JCU introduced Mediasite, a central recording system for lectures and presentations available in select common teaching rooms. Mediasite is also available as a desktop application in all GATCF rooms.
