WALLINGFORD, Conn. – June 5, 2006 – VBrick Systems, Inc. (www.VBrick.com), an industry leader in affordable video over IP network solutions, today announced that San Juan College in Farmington, New Mexico is deploying VBrick for on-demand classroom video and streaming presentations across campus.  San Juan College is using powerful VBrick capabilities to provide authorized students with video-on-demand access on any networked computer while centralizing digital video management across the college campus, which encompasses nearly one million square feet and 11 buildings.

The VBrick EtherneTV Media Distribution System enables organizations to record, store, manage, and distribute DVD-quality digital video via any IP network.  EtherneTV’s intuitive, browser-based interface enables authorized users to search the college’s central digital video library and immediately access stored programming.  The digital video library is available at the college’s networked classrooms, 40 media labs, and other campus buildings.  Each networked classroom features a computer connected to a television monitor that enables professors to show video content quickly and easily.   

San Juan College previously provided students with course content CDs.  This approach required the college’s technology department to create and distribute new CDs to address syllabus changes, a process that was costly and time-consuming for teachers and staff. 

“Technology is integral to connecting students, faculty, and staff across the San Juan College campus while also supporting the structured classroom teaching and independent student learning that is vital to fulfilling our educational mission,” said Shah S. Ardalan, vice president for technology services, San Juan College.  “VBrick EtherneTV flexibility and ease- of-use removes digital video technology hurdles, placing the focus on teaching and education.”
