    Video Conferencing

    A question to the esteemed audience...

    I'm looking for some video conferencing kit which can/will run across broadband (ADSL) - I fully appreciate that, due to the design of ADSL, it's only 256K upstream - can anything run well enough on this limited bandwidth? Surely compression technology has progresed sufficiently as to allow it.

    Thanks, EO

    You see your avatar? That's what the video feed will look like at 256K.

      Cheers.

      So the method of choice is still multiplexed ISDN then?

        You considered Skype?

        If you are not after HighDef then it works great. They also do various Business Packages now, as well as a MSI install and a Group Policy template so you can turn all the tulip off.

        Nearly got it at the current gig but the implementation costs were too high for them (tight arsed discount retailer)
