QuickTime Conferencing

Summary:  QuickTime Conferencing is a system software extension. 
It comes with Apple Media Conference, an application program you 
use to set up video conferences, collaborate with others, 
exchange live video and sound, and share information over a 
network. Apple Media Conference takes advantage of the networking 
capability already built into your computer so you can connect 
with other video conferencing systems over a local or wide area 
network, such as an AppleTalk local area network or the TCP/IP 
Internet.

The instructions in the "QuickTime Conf. - Read Me First" explain 
how to install and use QuickTime Conferencing and Apple Media 
Conference. To print out these instructions, open the File menu 
and choose Print; then click the Print button in the dialog box 
that appears.

Requirements:
€ Quadra 660AV or 840AV, Power Macintosh AV computer, or Power 
	Macintosh with AV card upgrade 
€ 16 megabytes of  DRAM (memory)
€ Video source (for instance, a video camera or VCR)
€ Audio source (for instance, a  PlainTalk microphone or VCR)
€ Network connection (for instance, Ethernet or ISDN)
€ Network Software Installer version 1.5. (this is already

Note: QuickTime Conferencing supports Apple built-in video.  
Apple cannot guarantee compatibility with third-party video 
input cards. 

A Note Regarding Interoperability

QuickTime Conferencing is the foundation for a broad range of 
Apple and third-party video and document conferencing solutions.

QuickTime Conferencing supports open standards for interoperability, 
so developers can use it to create software that works with a variety 
of network transports, compression technologies, and media devices 
(cameras, microphones, and so forth). QuickTime Conferencing provides 
consistent standards that encourage software developers to create 
application programs that look and act the same from a user¹s point of 
view, regardless of the computer, network service, or devices being used.
