IP Videoconference

IP Videoconference AleProfessionalDevelopment and AleTechnology

Allows individuals in different locations to see, speak to and hear one another via the Internet. It is similar to a telephone conference call with the addition of a live video picture of the participants. Participating sites need simple computer video cameras, speakers, microphones, software and an ultra-high-speed Internet connection. Large screen viewing and a remote control camera are preferable where there are several participants at one site. A videoconference should be used when there are a limited number of participants at each site, when you want live conversation among all participants, and when you don't need the camera flexibility or production values. (Note: videoconferencing doesn't have to be via Internet. It can be done via ISDN (phone line), usually a little more stable and a lot more expensive.)
