Hi Peter, There are several approaches you could try. 1). Softphone such as Ekiga which supports SIP, H323, and direct connection (IP->IP).
2). VLC in stream mode. (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/streaming.html) As you are probably aware the biggest 'killer' for things like this is network jitter, followed by latency and bandwidth. Whatever you choose on the software side, the hardware will also have a significant effect (my $800 DV Camcorder produces a much better image than my $10 USB webcam). If you can do the echo cancellation in hardware (i.e. decent speaker phone) then that will help a lot too. What sort of network are you attempting to work across, please don't say Shaw residential cable ;-) Simon On Thu, Oct 05, 2006 at 08:58:49AM -0600, Peter Van den Wildenbergh wrote: > Hi All: > > Just want to pick some brains here. > Does anybody has experience with a linux based > video conference (boardroom to boardroom) tool. > Quality of sound and image are important > so I don't want to use the $49 webcam special ... > With that comes the question of drivers for the higher end cameras... > > Thx > > Peter > > _______________________________________________ > clug-talk mailing list > [email protected] > http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca > Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) > **Please remove these lines when replying _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
