I am trying to help my girlfriend set up a videoconference from London
to Chicago in May. It's only important to have video from London to
Chicago, not the reverse, although audio in both directions would be
needed. Basically, it's a celebrity question and answer session.
Here's what I had in mind:
Rent a studio in London
Video stream made available by studio through Internet
(netmeeting? other streaming?)
Display in Chicago using a PC
DSL connection
software Codec
(reasonably powerful, new PC running Windows XP Professional)
Netmeeting or other cheap/free client
Does this sound reasonable? Are there studios that would offer this
service? The folks on the London end are not really tech savvy in this
situation. So, the studio would need to handle tech stuff on their
end.
Everyone I've found on the Internet so far is still very ISDN-centered.
We don't have (nor do we want) ISDN on the Chicago side.
Any comments and pointers to folks that can help us would be
appreciated.
Thanks.
