Try ZVRS, you can sign up for a Z4, download the Mac client, and be working in minutes. There is no need to know your IP address, as ZVRS hosts a ZConnect IP address in the cloud that allows your friends to call you. ZVRS

Easier said than done. Yes, there are a number of efforts out there with folks playing with Kinect and using that for gesture and very rudimentary ASL recognition. However, the nuances and contextual nature of ASL make it a very difficult thing to codify algorithmically. As machine learning...

Satellite connections are high-latency. High-latency is bad for video calls. The delay on video can lag by seconds, which really does impact interactive conversations. You probably want to try it out first before committing to it.

I think you may be confused regarding H.243, or typoed another standard you're thinking about. H.243 is chair control for H.320 ISDN MCU calls. Simply put, H.323 does not need it or use it, and I doubt you've actually ever used H.243 yourself, unless you have an ISDN videophone and have called a...

What's worse? "Downgraded video", or "no video at all"? Note: "downgraded video" is the same video you use on your videocalls everyday, today. There is also no guarantee that the H.264 video will be any "better" than H.263 video. Probably smaller bandwidth, definitely require more CPU to...

First, there are 3 video codecs involved here. H.323 _requires_ H.261 if your endpoint supports video at all. Unfortunately, H.261 is so old and so low-resolution that very few H.323 capable endpoints today actually support it as they should. This requires the most bandwidth, but requires the...

I'm not sure who "CRI" is in this context, what website you're referring to, or what tollfree number you're talking about. Again, rather than post identifying data here, I suggest contacting Customer Support about this issue with the facts and escalating until you reach someone who can answer...

Porting means you're changing VRS providers for a phone number. A phone number is not a video phone. A video phone can have many phone numbers. Case in point: does your vp200 currently _also_ have a Sorenson toll-free number associated with it as a DirectVP? It probably does. Most do...

Was this behavior reported to ZVRS Customer Service? We do take such reports seriously. They are follwed up on, and we do enforce a code of conduct. If we are not advised of these occurrences, we can't address them.

The server that your contacts are removed from are run by Sorenson. I assure you, there is no technical reason why Sorenson could not retain the contact list on your VP200 after the number is ported away from Sorenson. This is a business decision that Sorenson has made. ZVRS, on the...

This sounds like a miscommunication of some sort. The P3 would need to be "logged in" to ring. If the P3 is offline, it would still have an IP address in the iTRS database to the Purple P3 gateway so that you can get P2P videomail. The fact that the P3 rolls to videomail effectively...

ZVRS engineers, at headquarters, are definitely not dumb or stupid. Speaking as the guy who wrote our Neustar iTRS backend, I can assure you of that. I don't know what you mean by "register that device". 1Number can only be activated for a Z phone, with a Z assigned phone number. As ZVRS...

Even smartphones running mobile apps are "internet based". Mobile apps connect back to servers on the internet. If you have a good 3G or better mobile phone data connection, you simply use that for your mobile app videophone client rather than wifi through your home broadband connection...

Contact Purple customer service. Complain to them. Get your friends to contact Sorenson customer service and complain to them. If neither of them will assist you in getting your calls through, file a complaint on the FCC ECFS system regarding the failure of interop. You'll get someone to respond...

"Maybe". Yes, your SIP or H.323 based VP should interoperate with other VPs. If you have a problem, report it to your VRS provider that supplied you with your VP. Some VPs, like the Sorenson nTouch, do not interoperate fully with other VPs (in this case, because it only supports the H.264...

The Nexus S runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The front-facing camera API was added in Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Any app that claims support for the front-facing camera uses that front-facing API in Android 2.3 Gingerbread. This _should_ also hold true for any other Android phone also running Android...

Again, you should not need to know your friend's IP address if you have your friend's VP phone number. You should be able to dial your friend's VP phone number from your VP and it should Just Work. If it does not Just Work, then you should contact your VRS provider and have a chat with them...

VRS, SIP, H.323, H.263, and H.264. The FCC hasn't "standardized" on anything. It does not enforce anything. The VRS industry was mostly defined when Sorenson gave away enough VP200s to garner 80% of the VRS market. By doing that, whatever the VP200 did at the time became the industry...

For those of you having problems with nTouch, the Mirial softclient used by ZVRS, Sprint, Purple, and Convo works just fine with Gingerbread and CM7. You can find them in the Android market as well. As a bonus: the Mirial softclient lets you place H.263 video calls to all videophones. nTouch...

Rather than use an IP address, you should ask your friend for their 10 digit phone number for their video phone. The IP address is actually stored in the Neustar iTRS database by your friend's videophone provider, and Viable looks that up to place the call to your friend's phone. Using IP...
