We have just installed a ReLANsign Pro language lab, which is a version of the ReLAN Pro language lab with web cameras and special video software modules to add sign language to the capabilities of the lab. The camera functions simply add a few icons to the player/recorder interface, allowing the students to record their own stand-alone video, or, by clicking a checkbox next to the RECORD button, a video synchronized with a “master” video displayed in a separate video window. Video chat is also available, with another student or with the instructor.
Though we haven't used it to teach ASL yet, you should certainly have your ASL people look at it (I know ASC-Direct and George Washington will be at CALICO in May).

Subject: #8502 Sign Language LAb setup
Hi,
do we have any American Sign Language people on this list who can help.
The communications department is looking for a 20 place computer
based lab set up to teach ASL.
They have seen the Sanoko 300 from Tandberg and heard about the Sony
ASL set up.
Seems the real problem maybe the video part.
Any reactions, suggestions - on this list or in private are greatly
appreciated.
