OK, first things first, if you plan on using modems, stick to the 200-300 dollar gear.
You may want to choose firewire based cameras,for the higher framerates and image quality.
There are also many PC independant products, with features such as remote zoom and pan. These will start at around 10,000 so unless you have a real fancy board room and deep pockets, you will want to go with a PC based solution.
I think if you ran with any firewire camera, on a Pentium III (Pentium III's have specific instruct set routines strictly for video conferencing and capture applications) you will be able to stay within your budget and get alot better quality then the average 200 dollar deal.
As for product recommendations, 3Com made an awesome little firewire, video conference kit, but I no longer see it on their website.
If you can make a few phone calls and get a few prices and product models, I would be happy to check them out for you.
One other thing, get a higher end sound card, make sure it is PCI with full duplexing. Any of the SoundBlaster Live series will do this, including the value edition. You may want to look at higher end ones if you need more audio input ports.
Good luck |

Hi...
I have a Pinnacle Studio Rave TV card. TV side works fine, I can even plug my camcorder into it and see myself. BUT.. even though it cames with Netmeeting v2.0 on the cd and says you can use it for video conferencing, I cannot set Netmeeting up to use it.
The section in Netmeeting where you select the video capture device is greyed out.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? |
