[AG-TECH] DVTS

[John I. Quebedeaux, Jr]

Hey Todd,

For some meetings, yes, it's default and we have a config setup for that -
but we find setting up the camera and breaking it down (because we can't
leave them setup - they're too much a risk of theft in our facilities) a
bother so we tend to run them only for the more high profile meetings.

We have a couple of HD PTZ cameras now but still need to work out the
logistics of use, capture, etc. and having them work (not to mention enough
resolution on projection to have those up and everyone else up in large #
site meetings). And it's not standard at all our Louisiana sites since we're
experimenting with them at the moment (when I find time!) The cost of those
cameras are prohibitive at the moment.

-John Q.
