The proposal drawn up for us includes a Tandberg Partner III server with the following specs: 60 streams, 329 hours video storage @ 1.2Mbps. Is this average? We have a fairly small lab - we hope to have around 25 student work stations. This is our first time dealing with digital media, and I honestly have no idea what would be reasonable for a lab of our size (especially considering budget constraints). Additionally, does anyone have live video distribution for composite video display? Is it a necessary componet, in your opinion? or one that could be skipped for now? I appreciate you help with this! -Julie ------------------------------------- Julia W. Packard Language Learning Center Coordinator College of Notre Dame of Maryland [log in to unmask]
