An uncertain economic outlook has already forced IT department to consider affordable upgrade options for HD video conferencing even if the virtual meeting tool is made to slash travel cost in the first place. Dedicated devices may cost upwards of $10,000, but USB cameras that rely on today's duo core processing power to possess H.264 encoding can help lower cost. TANDBERG's PrecisionHD USB Camera is such a device with a low price entry point yet streams HD video at 720p with 30fps. One of the more practical reasons for going hi-def is so you can see more people in the same screen as the aspect ratio is 16:9 widescreen. That way, the other party doesn't have to rotate the camera during the session. The PrecisionHD also includes built-in noise canceling mic and auto focus, the latter of which is found on even some $70 webcams nowadays. The USB camera additionally allows you to allocate the amount of bandwidth for the video, ranging from 600kbps to 1.5Mbps to unlimited. You'll need 1.5Mbps for 720p. The PrecisionHD is designed from ground up to work with Office Communications Server 2007 so it should technically work out of the box. About Everything USB
