  8. video conferencing history From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  9. video conferencing history A videophone is a telephone with a video screen, and is capable of full duplex (bi-directional) video and audio transmissions for communication between people in real-time. It was the first form of videotelephony, later to be followed by videoconferencing, webcams, and finally telepresence. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  10. video conferencing history At the dawn of the technology, videotelephony also included image phones which would exchange still images between units every few seconds over conventional POTS-type telephone lines, essentially the same as slow scan TV systems. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  11. video conferencing history Currently videophones are particularly useful to the deaf and speech-impaired who can use them with sign language, and also with video relay services to communicate with hearing persons. Videophones are also very useful to those with mobility issues or those who are located in distant places and are in need of telemedical or tele-educational services. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  12. Skype Video conferencing between two users was introduced in January 2006 for the Windows and Mac OS X platform clients Skype 2.0 for Linux, released on March 13, 2008, also features support for video conferencing From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  26. Skype Branding Guidelines • For Film & Broadcast

  27. Minimum Hardware Requirements • 1 GHz processor and at least 256 MB of RAM. • Webcam • Microphone/speakers • Most currently available laptops have built-in webcams, mics and speakers. Note that webcams and mics vary widely in quality and price. • Purchase headset if you want to improve audio quality. If you are using software to record your Skype session then headsets are necessary. • FYI HD webcams are now available, and you can even Skype from some TVs!

  28. Internet Connection I’m talking about Upload Bandwidth Two way communication using your computer requires uploading your video/audio to the Internet. Most Internet providers offer adequate bandwidth to download content from the Internet. When it comes to providing bandwidth to upload to the Internet they aren’t as generous.

  29. General Bandwidth Requirements (current video standards for video conferencing) IF YOU WANT: Frame RateVideo Resolution 30 fps 352 X 288 pixels 15 - 30fps 704 X 576 pixels 30 fps 704 X 576 pixels 30 fps HD video THEN YOU NEED: Bandwidth Minimum Connection type 384 kb/s Mid-range DSL, Cable, 3G 512 kb/s High-range DSL, Cable 768 kb/s High-range Cable 2 Mb/s High-end Connection Remember We are talking about Upload Bandwidth. Also note that we are talking about requirements on Both Ends!

  30. Skype Bandwidth Requirements (as taken from their website) For Skype-to-Skype video calling (both normal & high quality), 500 Kbpsis recommended. If you want to send & receive HD video you'll need around 1.2Mbps The Important Things to Remember! Skype operates using the lowest hardware capabilities of both systems. If you want to use HD video, then you need HD cameras at both ends. Skype will work at lower bandwidths. It just won’t work well. And it’s uploadbandwidth.
