The question that I have here is what do you want to do over the videoconferencing connection? What types of interactions will need to take place? What will students need to be able to do in the room? What will instructors need to do? That will determine more what additional technology you will want such as document cameras, if you need PIP software working, and a number of other technologies. The transparentness and seamlessness is really more a function of "how" it is used not what it is. The quality of the audio and video is a combination of the quality of the equipment and the bandwidth you have at the time of the connection. You might have perfect video and audio with miliseconds of lag at 9am but come 4pm the same connection will have some freezing. Also having a quality of service solution in place will help with those problems but are still no guarantee of perfection every time. I'd be happy to talk with you further about this if you are needing more details. We have been using large classrooom videoconferencing for instruction for 8 years. You can contact me off the list if you like.
