VideoCam Traveler
Digital Video Camera for Notebook PCs
 |
Complete high-performance, low-cost, Internet videoconferencing kit for Windows-based notebook PCs. Video Conference Pro can also be used for video/audio/image capture and Web cams. Includes: VideoCam digital video camera; and Video Software CD. |
The VideoCam Traveler is an all-in-one digital video camera for use with notebook computers. Weve taken the technology from our Video AV capture boards, such as hardware compression and full-duplex/synchronized audio, and packed it into a small, portable camera. The VideoumCam Traveler thus has the performance, features, and quality of our Video AV (ISA) capture board and low power consumption for notebook use. With an optional desktop interface card, you can also connect the VideoCam to your desktop computer, which makes it an excellent choice if you want to conveniently share one camera between your desktop and your laptop.
