Adjust the Video Quality to Meet Your Needs
InfoView video quality is adjustable. You can make the images you received
clearer or more fluid using the on-screen menu and toggling between settings
using the phone keypad. InfoView is pre-set in the middle of its quality range
to render clear images that, however, may not be synchronized with the
audio. Depending on your preference, you may wish to make the frame
speed faster so that the video is more “in sync” with the audio or you may
wish to slow the video down to create a slide show effect with very clear
images.
Note:
InfoView cannot provide TV-quality images but will greatly enhance
your telecommunications experience. The reason for quality less than that of
standard TV or video is due to bandwidth limitations of the analog phone
line. The picture has to be compressed, sent, and decompressed through a
line designed for voice signals only. Some companies may offer products
with better quality video, but their products require special phone lines and
expensive equipment on both ends of the call. InfoView is a personal
videophone designed as a consumer product with excellent video quality for
its price. There’s no question that InfoView greatly enhances the experience
of long distance communication experiences with loved-ones, friends, and
associates.
Tips in Setting Up & Using InfoView
Good Lighting
You can get the most out of InfoView by making a small effort to “stage”
your video calls. The most important thing you can do is set up InfoView in a
well-lit room. People often are unaware or forget how important lighting is in
TV and movie studios. The same requirements apply to video-calling.
Here are a few other tips:
• The lighting should come from behind the camera and shine on the
subject’s face.
• Avoid back-lighting by closing blinds and drapes on bright windows behind
the subject.
• Try to limit movement in the background and foreground.
Note:
InfoView users should sit closer to the TV and camera than they
normally would, perhaps only several feet away, so that only their head and
shoulders can be seen.
