| Hello,
My faculty management is planning to build two computer classes with 20 pc's
each. There should be a capability of real-time audio and video transmission
/ conferences via the Internet. The biggest issue so far is how do you get
the fastest internet connection and whether it shall be sufficient to
transmit the AV feed, both ways (incoming and outgoing), for 40 units?
I've contacted all of the local Internet providers in my city and the most
that they can offer is only up to 2 megabits per second. I'm not quite sure
that this would suffice our needs.
So my task is to know out what hardware I need? Talking about software,
definitively I shall be using almost Macromedia products needed to provide
the e-learning experience.
Thank you,

| Hi Petro,
Well this depends on the bandwidth per videostream you intend to use. Taking
2 mbit of possible transfer you have 50kbit per connection available (6,25
Kb p/sec if 'm correct). Are you planning to host this yourself or do you
intend to use thirdparties like us?
Kind regards,

| Petro,
Some alternatives you might want to consider are 1 to many A/V (20
streams) and then limit incoming to 1 at a time -- total 21 streams.
If you want everyone to see/hear everyone at once, you've got a
problem, though. You will have 20 * 20 streams (400 a/v streams) and
that could choke it.
If you haven't seen Brian's book, take a look at it for ways to
conserve BW.
HTH,
Bill

| Hi Mark,
thanks for reply. I shall be hosting FlashComm myself on a local physical
server. I plan to use FLV for video format with the video size of 320 by 200
up to 640 by 480. I wonder, will 2 megabits per scond be enough for say 320
by 320 stream of 2 frames per second?
All the best
