The frames per second on Beamer ranges anywhere from 4 to 15 fps. The frame rate is based on the following four factors: connection rate, motion in the image, line quality, and the movement/detail setting selected by the recipient. Beamer is designed to support Caller ID service. When someone calls you, Beamer will display the name and/or number of the person calling, on the LCD screen. Caller ID is a subscription service offered by your local phone service provider.

Depending on the speed of the CPU, the camera will produce up to 30 frames-per-second motion in a finished video (window) size of 160 x 120. Because the DVC325 uses direct digital video instead of NTSC or PAL, it will work on all USB-equipped PCs. Since it draws its power from the computer, you do not need special power adapters.

Images per second and frames per second are both the same. They describe the video image that is stored.

Add the following entry to the user-specific application-neutral or application-specific domain (see section Configuration File): This will make sure that the BugPlug plugin runs in either you or any Crystal Space application (dependent on the config domain you chose).

Beamer adds color motion video to your phone calls, with three viewing options to choose from: you can see the other person you're calling, you can see the video of yourself (a self-view) that is being sent to the other party, or you can choose the picture-in-picture option to see both views at the same time. Beamer also displays a "self-view" while the initial video connection is being made, so that you can preview what the other person will see.

Beamer has a snapshot feature, which sends a high-resolution video image that is displayed on the other party's Beamer.

This is probably because "wait for vsync" is enabled in your graphics card settings. This causes your graphics card to wait for a sync signal from the monitor before flipping the buffers. To find out your true maximum frame rate, turn this feature off in your graphics card settings.

If the university allows you to bring your own telephone, Beamer should work fine. If the university provides the telephone, you should first confirm with them whether the system is analog. You may also ask if they can support dial up modems, as that will usually indicate an analog system, and Beamer would work fine.

Plug Beamer TV into the RCA video input jack on your television, using the 6-foot video cable that comes with your Beamer TV. If the video input jacks on your television are full, you can use a video input on your VCR. If your television does not have a RCA video input jack (usually an older TV model), you can use a RF modulator to connect Beamer TV to your television's antenna input.
