OT: Video conferencing for Avid edit session
Hi all Happy Holidays,
I have a client that needs to have video conferencing setup for a 2 week edit session with Tokyo. The Agency in Tokyo has a Polycom Viewstation FX. We’ve checked into doing this and have discovered that 1. We’d have to install either a T1 or ISDN line and that part is expensive and
2. The cheapest price we’ve gotten is about $3500 for 2 weeks using a compatible system.The client needs to have a real-time live image of the editor and a real-time image of the video output of the Avid. So that both party’s can communicate real time.
Is there any other system out there that may be cheaper and do a similar thing?
Thanks,
Jason Gillet

Depending on expected quality – I did a project where I hooked up the output of my Adrenaline to a Slingbox and the director could log in using the client. In that case, he did not need to see me – communication was done over normal phone lines.

This is a cool product. Does this allow you to view 2 things at once by using a picture in picture setup? Then I could plug a camera into one of the inputs.

An absolutely beautiful solution to this is SyncVue.
It will let you hook up a Skype video line for the face shot you need and let you work with the video or graphics via QT files and make annotations and notes in real time.
