By Frank Owen, Sat Dec 10th

The Tools and Supplies Needed for Video conferencing

In order to take advantage of video conferencing you need theright ingredients or tools. There are some basic components thatanyone, whether an organization, educational facility orindividual needs before they can communicate with others usingvideo conferencing technology.

Of course the most basic piece of equipment necessary is acamera. A camera will allow a user to capture video informationat their site and transmit it to someone at another site.Parties using video conferencing will also need a video displayto display the video at their site, a microphone to hear thevideo and speakers to play the audio material.


Video conferencing Equipment

Most video conferencing terminals also require what is called acodec or Compressor/Decompressor interface. This piece ofequipment helps compress information being passed from audio tovideo to make transmission of materials feasible over the Net.Without this piece of equipment most files would be too large tosend from one computer to another. The process of compressiondata using a codec machine is often referred to as decoding andencoding information.

Finally, a computer and reliable internet connection are alsonecessary to facilitate video conferencing. A high speedconnection is recommended to make the video conferencingexperience not only endurable but also enjoyable. The actualcomputer you have is not as important as the size of yourdisplay. Remember that when using video conferencing equipment,the larger your display the better your picture and the moreeasily a time you will have 'conferencing' with other people onthe Web.
