Portable DL System Is Simple Yet Powerful

  • 08/01/97

With PictureTel's SwiftSite portable videoconferencing system, educators can conduct distance learning from anywhere in the world -- as long as they have access to a standard TV and ISDN telephone service. Weighing only 10 pounds, SwiftSite is operated by simply plugging into a TV and phone jack, dialing a number on the QuikPad remote and conducting a videoconference call. Its built-in super-directional microphone automatically locates the speaker's voice, while the quiet, motorized PTZ camera can be focused on the speaker or object of conversation.

Since SwiftSite is H.320 standards based, it can operate with any H.320 compliant videoconferencing system worldwide. Onscreen menus, online documentation, context sensitive help and a speed dial directory all contribute to its ease-of-use. It even comes in its own SwiftPort shipping/carrying case. For an Educational Services catalog, call (508) 292-5441. PictureTel, Andover, MA, (800) 716-6000, www.picturetel.com.
