These are field notes by the DILC-Tau Rho Xi Vcon Group.
Digital Video Transport System
- DVTS download: http://www.sfc.wide.ad.jp/DVTS/
- test using: Win XP Pro, Lenovo ....
- compatible with Sony DV Cam (firewire interface)
- perhaps NOT compatible with iSight?
MidField System
- MidField System V2 download. Alternative download 1
- Download Required Apps for MidField System
XMeeting
XMeeting is the first H.323 compatible video conferencing client for Mac OS X. It allows us to dial our Polycom.
Other Systems to Try Out
iSight on WinXP
"I just got my iSight working with Windows XP AND fixed the image quality problem many are having.

Next, download some program that will allow you to fiddle with the incoming video properties. I googled and found:
http://www.1394imaging.com/products/software/iccapture/ But I'm sure there's more out there. Use this program to turn down the brightness, and voila, your iSight will remember the new settings and you get great video even with AIM. Now if only the microphone worked..."
