Jika saya mempunyai
sebuah Beamer Videophone, tetapi teman saya tidak punya, dapatkah saya
menggunakan Beamer untuk melihat mereka ? |
| |
Sama halnya dengan
menggunakan telpon biasa untuk melakukan sambungan telpon, Anda
membutuhkan dua Beamer untuk menambah video pada sambungan anda (atau
satu Beamer dan alat videophone yang menggunakan sistem yang sama yaitu
H.324 sistem). |
|
Apakah Beamer Videophone
gampang dipasang ? |
| |
Iya, sangat mudah, dari
"dikeluarkan dari kotak" sampai dengan "menyala dan berfungsi" hanya
dalam waktu kurang dari 2 menit. Sambungkan telpon anda pada Beamer,
lalu sambungkan Beamer pada sambungan telpon. Itu sesederhana
menyambungkan telpon biasa.
|
| |
Apakah Beamer mudah
digunakan ? |
| |
Benar sekali. Beamer
secara khusus diciptakan untuk menjadi alat yang sangat mudah digunakan
(user-friendly). Perhatian khusus diberikan kepada semua detail untuk

What are Beamer
Videophone's main features? |
| |
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. |
| |
During a Beamer
Videophone call, what if I want some privacy? |
| |
Beamer has a snapshot
feature, which sends a high-resolution video image that is displayed on
the other party's Beamer. This feature doubles as a "privacy mode",
temporarily halting any new video transmission for as long as you
desire.
|
| |
Does Beamer Videophone
work with special phone services? |
| |
Beamer is designed to
support Caller ID service. When someone calls you, Beamer will display
the name and number of the person calling, on the LCD screen, Caller ID
is a subscription service offered by your local phone service
provider.) At the present time, Beamer does not support Call Waiting or
3-way calling. |
| |
Is Beamer Videophone
portable? Can I take it on vacation? |
| |
Beamer's sleek,
ultra-slim design and light weight make it easy to take with
you when you travel. You can use Beamer anywhere there is a standard
(analog) phone, even when you're on vacation! |
| |
What is the video quality? |
| |
Similar to when you place
a regular phone call, Beamer's video quality depends on a number of
variables including the quality of the phone line connection. Changes
in the quality of the connection will impact the quality of the video.
If you have a normal or good phone line connection, you will see a
clear, color motion video of the person you are calling, including
details like changes in their facial expression. |
| |
How much do Beamers
Videophones cost? |
| |
Beamer's MSRP
(manufacturer's suggested retail price) is for a dual pack,
and for a single unit. |
| |
Where can I purchase a
Beamer Videophone? |
| |
You can purchase Beamer
online, at Vialta's
Online Store. You can also click on "Retailers",

| |
What is the warranty on
Beamer Videophone? |
| |
Beamer comes with a
standard consumer electronics warranty, which is 90 days labor and one
year on parts. |
| |
Will Beamer Videophone
work for international calls, and does the distance affect the quality
of the call? |
| |
Beamer will work for any
international phone call as long as both parties have an analog
telephone line. Analog lines are standard for phone service in the U.S.
and most foreign countries, but there may be a few exceptions. To
determine if analog phone service is available in a particular country,
we suggest that you have the party you wish to call check with their
local phone service provider to verify the type of line available.
The quality of the international call, as with any Beamer call, depends
on the quality of the phone line and service provided by the calling
party's long distance carrier. The quality of the video should be
comparable to that of audio, and distance should not affect the quality
of the call.
|
| |
What kind of power supply
does Beamer Videophone work with? |
| |
Beamer has a universal
switching power supply, which means it adapts to any power system from
100-240 volts and at either 50-60Hz.
|
| |
Will I need a plug
adapter to use Beamer Videophone overseas? |
| |
Yes, you will most likely
need a power plug and phone jack adapter in order to use Beamer
overseas. These types of adapters are available at electronics stores
such as Radio Shack in the U.S. |
| |
Will Beamer Videophone
work if I use a calling card to place an overseas call? |
| |
If you typically have a
good audio connection using a calling card, your video connection will
be comparable. Cards that offer phone service provided by AT&T, MCI
and Sprint typically provide good connections. However, Beamer will not
work with Voice Over IP (VOIP) calling cards. As an alternative to the
calling card, you may want to use a major dial around International
Long Distance Service (such as 10-10, etc.), which should work well
with Beamer videophone.
|
| |
Does Beamer Videophone
work with an ISDN line? |
| |
Beamer will not work with
an ISDN line. |
| |
Does Beamer Videophone
work with a PBX office system? |
| |
Beamer will work at the
office if you connect to an analog line/port, just as you would with a
fax machine. It is necessary to use a standard telephone with Beamer
and not the phone supplied with the PBX. Beamer will not work on a
digital PBX line. |
| |
Does Beamer Videophone
work with a cell phone? |
| |
Beamer works only using
an analog phone line. The data rate of a cellular phone will not
support a video connection. |
| |
Does Beamer Videophone
work with DSL / ADSL? Do I need a filter? |
| |
Beamer will work with the
same line as your DSL service, just like your phone. Simply connect
Beamer on the phone side of the DSL line. However, Beamer will not work
on your Internet DSL service. Vialta recommends using filters to
protect the telephone from the DSL modem signal. |
| |
What if I have Digital
Phone service through AT&T or Cox cable? Will Beamer Videophone
work? |
| |
Beamer does work with the
digital phone service provided by AT&T and Cox Communications since
they change the signal to analog in the box outside the house, and is
therefore compatible with Beamer. |
| |
Will Beamer Videophone
work on my college network? |
| |
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. |
| |
Is there an audio-video
delay when using Beamer Videophone? |
| |
Typical delay is 1-1.5
seconds, although the detail/movement setting used by the call's
recipient will affect how synchronized the audio and video appear. The
greater the detail, the more delay; Greater movement equates to less
delay. |
| |
What is the frames per
second (fps) rate on Beamer Videophone and what is that rate based on? |
| |
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. |
| |
Does Beamer Videophone
support Caller ID, Call Waiting or 3-Way calling? |
| |
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. At the present time, Beamer does not support Call Waiting or
3-Way calling.
|
| |

Beamer Videophone's LCD screen? |
| |
The LCD has a maximum
screen resolution of 600x234. |
| |

connect to a PC Screen or TV to enlarge the picture? |
| |

computer or TV screen. However, Beamer TV is especially designed to
connect to your (NTSC) Television. Additional information on Beamer TV

| |
What kind of picture will
I get with Beamer Videophone? Is it comparable to a broadband
connection? |
| |
Vialta feels that
Beamer's video quality is similar to that of a web camera on an ADSL or
Cable broadband service. Since Beamer is a point-to-point device, it
does not have to worry about the delays introduced by the broadband
connections. |
