High def videoconferencing

By Richard Lawler

Just when we thought nobody wanted high definition videoconferencing,
those crazy Norwegians had to prove us wrong. Det norske Radium, a hospital in Norway, has become the first customer of the LifeSize Room
product for use in the training facility of their cancer research center. Featuring 1280x720 resolution over a 1mbps connection, it promises to connect to any high definition display and be able to show participants life-size without any loss of quality. It uses h.264 compression and can also stream content from PC's to be shared over the connection.

Well, I guess you all know where to reach me for the next HD Beat conference call, I better shave, 5:00 shadow could get ugly in 720p.
