Video conferencing equipment

Video conferencing is a technique utilized in order to provide both video and audio information from one or more users to a plurality of other users. As advances in microprocessor and other related technologies continue to improve the price/performance of various electronic components, video conferencing, including video conferencing conducted using personal computers (PC), has become increasingly popular in recent years. Video conferencing systems have come into widespread use, particularly with the merging of computers and telecommunications. Video conferencing systems allow for simultaneous exchange of audio, video and data information among multiple conferencing sites. A video conferencing system may be equipped a video camera, a display, a microphone, and a speaker. A multipoint control unit (MCU) is used to mix the audio streams and the video streams. The MCU is also referred to as a conference bridge and typically consists of a multipoint controller and one or more multipoint processors, which may be located on different network devices. The multipoint controller handles the call connection process in order to connect streams from endpoints to the multipoint processors. Digital video cameras are typically connected to a computer system via a peripheral bus. One peripheral bus that is gaining wide acceptance in the computer industry is the Universal Serial Bus (USB). Video conferencing systems often utilize a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera to track the current speaker. The PTZ camera allows the system to position and optically zoom the camera to perform the tracking task.
