Video
conferencing can be available on a user's desktop. Small
and capable systems (e.g., Tandberg 1000 and Polycom ViaVideo
II) deliver astounding quality for modest cost on both IP
and ISDN networks. With little, if any, desktop space lost
to the video conference equipment, today's desktop can truly
be a multimedia high-powered communications platform.
Tandberg 1000 - Price Range: $6,900 - $19,900
An award winning high quality and capable desktop conferencing
system is the Tandberg 1000. This elegant system is capable
of both low and high speed video conferencing. The Tandberg
1000 supports both IP and ISDN lines for 384Kbps - 768Kbps
operation. These high speeds are uncommon in any system
and they are truly remarkable in a small profile yet elegant
personal system.
Tandberg
has made this personal system with the user in mind and
therefore operates exactly as all other high quality Tandberg
products in every detail. A well featured remote control
allows users to enter address books and to easily redial
the last number called. This elegant system is smart in
its design, robust in its capabilities and provides a clear
crisp image.
Polycom ViaVideo II - List Price: $599
Polycom's
desktop platform is the ViaVideo (pictured at left). It
is an IP based system that runs on laptop and desktop computers
over a USB port. Small and feature rich, the easy-to-install
ViaVideo packs the same usable features of Polycom's small
conference room systems into a highly usable computer peripheral.
