ELECTRONIC DESIGN (USA) 5/97 about ELSAvision
"The first PCI-based, single board solution for ISDN, videoconferencing and multimedia for the Windows NT platform is ELSAvision from ELSA Inc. Using the VCP chip from 8x8 Inc., the ELSAvision board combines H.320 videoconferencing with a 128 kbit/s ISDN adapter, collaborative computing software, and MPEG-1 video playback. One other feature of the board is its ability to transfer high-resolution still images. Detailed still pictures (704 by 575 pixels or four times the CIF format) can be sent and saved at the remote station.
While many videoconferencing systems use a 176-by-144- or 352-by-288-pixel image that only takes up a small portion of the video screen, the ELSAvision card goes far beyond that. It can display a 30-fps video conference at the maximum resolution of the user's graphics adapter up to 1600 by 1200 pixels."
