Hi Rob,
I have successfully run a large number of video conferences, both for
foreign language classes and for administrative meetings, over the internet
using a Polycom VSX7000 (even in 2003 not a budget buster).
I do not recall any serious quality issues (combination of reasonable
bandwidth - 512, 384, even 256kb can work - and recent compression codecs).
This was either with both sites within the US or between the US and Europe.
My IT department opened the firewall for the Polycom, you will want to check
with yours.
We ran the AV output either directly to a TV set or to a PC with a WinTV
card, and from there through a beamer onto a projection screen.
Hth,
Thomas

Subject: videoconferencing and linked classes
Dear Colleagues,
I am working on a project to build a linked language class in Taiwan and at
my college in the United States. I'm trying to identify videoconferencing
technology options that may serve this need.
Could anyone out there share or give suggestions about what technologies you
have purchased and/or used? If budget were "no object", could you recommend
state-of-the-art technololgies that would allow for "transparent and
seamless" video and audio link-up, whereby each class has full and
projection-screen view of each other?
Has anyone attempted combining a SmartBoard-like computer prjecection
technology with a pc-based software to give the illusion of a "life-size"
link up?
Any feedback would be appreciated!
