Anybody got an internal Video Phone network running over Asterisk?

This doesn't directly answer your question, but I bet lots of people
have the same question you do. I know I've wondered.
I don't know if it makes sense to add something that expensive to the
loaner pool, but I wonder if Grandstream, one of their vendors, or one
of their resellers would like to lend a couple to TAUG. We could make
an evening of hooking them up and evaluating them. If we could get a
few different manufacturers and models, all the better.
Does anyone have connections with Grandstream or someone else who
might put up the hardware for such an experiment. I'm sure that
putting hardware like this in front of 50 TAUG members would lead to
some sales down the road.
To answer the first poster, you need to make changes to asterisk 1.2
code and re-compile, or use 1.4 as 1.2 and below doesn't include the
ability to pass through H264 (video codec used in the GXV-3000 phones).
But the good news is it's only a small change, and I don't recommend 1.4
unless you have a very good reason, they rushed it into release well
before it's ready.
