- That's because live video *is* 30 frames per second. Standard
- interlaced video (in the US) consists of 60 fields per second. Each
- field contains either all the odd numberd lines or all the even
- numbered lines, hence a full frame is two fields, and you get 30 of
- them per second.
-
- Aren't you glad your video guys gave you such a complete background
- lecture? :^)
-
- Also, the AT&T Video Phone 2500 was never meant to compete with video
- conferencing systems, like CLIs. (Is that also the market niche that
- PictureTel is in? I don't recall). The 2500 is a consumer product,
- aimed at a price that a consumer might actually afford.
