Specification: CU-SeeMe-Lite
Communications: 300baud Acoustic Coupler
Video: Heavy-duty compression by dual-deci-decimation to achieve 6 or more
frames/minute. Tradeoff will be that images will be only 3x4 pixels (hxw)
and only pixels changing by more than 7 gray-levels will be sent for each
frame.
Text: typing supported for a single character at a time shown in the frame
in "leaned over" mode.
Audio: Full bandwidth silver-tone audio. Tradeoff is that it will be
impossible to carry actual speech from the sender, so the receiving side
will run a real-time simulation and playout of the modem frequency-shift
keying tones, which should be quite pleasent when the volume is properly
set.
SlideWindow/Whiteboard: Hi-rez still images at 10x15 pixels to be used for
technical drawings, medical images, spontaneous freehand drawing, and other
demanding applications. Special bonus: full color at 2-bit depth.
Projected delivery schedule: April 1, 1920
Warrantee: As with all CU-SeeMe products, users will benefit from an
unlimited money-back refund policy, but we can not be responsible for any
time wasted, as in reading this spec.
