Abstract :
This paper gives an overview of BT´s portfolio of vision technology with more detailed information presented on BT´s personal computer videophone and ISDN videophone. A demonstration of the PC videophone is followed by a description of possible applications and what might happen in the future. BT is currently adding two new videophones to its range of videoconferencing equipment. The PC videophone uses BT´s vision technology to provide a single slot solution for a PC to enable one-to-one multimedia meetings. BT has worked with IT partners to produce a package including application software which has the following main features: fully H.320 compliant, single PC slot, API available, full colour, chalkboards, contact directories; file transfer, JPEG image compression, video/audio in/out, handsfree telephone and detachable camera
