An H.323 Broadband Virtual Camera for supporting asynchronous visual communication in large groups

BVCAM is a video recording service based on the H.323 protocol for videoconferencing on IP networks. BVCAM allows remote recording of H.323 sessions either as a point-to-point session or as an endpoint in a multipoint session. All recordings are controlled through a web interface. The initial conception of BVCAM was to complement synchronous communication in large group meetings so that distributed problem-solving teams could keep in touch with what is discussed remotely.
