What are the potential uses for digital video in the telecommunications, Internet, video conferencing, and video on demand?
Any video conferencing system will benefit from three attributes our technology: Progressive scanning format, an all-digital architecture, and programmability. Progressive scan is important because the output from the camera is inherently computer compatible. Furthermore, the output can be more efficiently compressed than interlaced formats. Digital camera architectures have advantages because it can take advantage of the integrated circuit manufacturing methods to permit lower-cost cameras than their analog counterparts. Programmability allows us to address the sensor and instruct it to perform different functions such as moving the field of view, altering the scan rate, and changing the output format. Liberty’s cameras can easily be adapted for video conferencing. The digital programmability permits an implementation of a standard, 480p, often used for video conferencing systems. This standard is not in widespread use, but is absolutely perfect for smaller screens (40- to 50-inch dia
