FaceVsion HD Video Conferencing solution

Charbax — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 12:22:02 +0000

FaceVsion of Taiwan now has added HDMI-input and Full HD 1920×1080 HD video-conferencing in the new FVexpress Pro card, as well as they still have the FVexpress combo with a new higher quality HD webcam included and a mini-PCI module that can be integrated in certain compatible netbooks (when the Express Card slot is not present on the netbooks) to integrate their HD video-conferencing directly into the netbooks.

What this technology from FaceVsion does is that it integrates HD H264 encoding and decoding into their express card device, or into their mini-PCI module, for netbook/laptop manufacturers to integrate or for end-consumers to buy as an express card solution or as a mini-PCI module to install inside of the netbook or laptop.

FaceVsion’s Qulive software automatically adapts the upload and download bitrates to and from each party according to the stable and reliable bandwidth that is available, it also support SIP to SIP connections and even IP to IP direct connections, thus it could be perfectly suitable for implementation at the Enterprise, for large, medium or small businesses. But also, especially, for just $119, this FaceVsion HD video-conferencing solution could easilly reach end consumers in masse if they manage to offer the right combination of product and value proposition.

Imagine sitting in your living room with a HD camcorder or cheaper HD webcam on your HDTV, and the same for your grand parents wherever in the world they live, simply sit back and have a real-time HD quality discussion in each of your sofa’s, the siye of a 42″ HDTV making it look like you are nearly sitting in the same room!

Sony MHS-PM1 flip-competitor

Charbax — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:45:11 +0000

Here’s a Sony alternative to the Flip camera craze. Unlike the flip, this camera actually flips so that you can also film yourself while you can look at the LCD if your makeup is okay. It records in 1440×1080 at around 6mbit/s according to my calculations.

Sanyo HD1010 at IFA 2008

Charbax — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 07:18:31 +0000

Sanyo releases this new compact cool looking HD camcorder which increases performance with a new processor. It now records full 1080p video, it records 720p at 60 frames per second, and it can also shoot at a lower resolution of 448×336 at 300 frames per second mode, suitable to shoot action sequences to then watch in slow motion on Youtube. I have been shooting all of my HD videos using the Sanyo HD1000 since February, and so, I might be tempted in upgrading to the Sanyo HD1010 and perhaps then release all my videos in a 1080p 7mbit/s DivX HD versions as well.
