UNITE Streaming Video Demonstrations
For courses upon which UNITE "piggybacks", UNITE streaming video is generally available in two different presentations:
One-Pane Video
For the One-Pane version, the UNITE operator switches between sources (classroom cameras, presenter laptop, overhead desk camera, etc.) to display in a single 1280x720 video frame. This is similar to watching a television newscast, in this case the UNITE operator follows the lead of the presenter and selects the appropriate material as the presenter is speaking.

Two-Pane Video
This is more similar to being in the classroom, where those in attendance may watch both the presenter and additional materials (from a laptop or hand-written notes on the instructor desk displayed on in-room monitors). Both the camera and a secondary source is presented, side by side, in a 1920x540 video frame.

Both the One-Pane and Two-Pane formats are also available as downloadable video files for students enrolled in UNITE sections of courses (thought not for departmental graduate seminars/colloquia) as both individual downloads and RSS feeds to automatically download. Both download formats are also supported by most tablets, and the One-Pane format is also compatible with most smartphones and portable media player devices.
