Having a Video Chat or Making Conference Calls

To set up a video chat, you must have a connection to the Internet, an ISP, and software that enables you to make video calls over the Internet. As with chat or instant messenger software, you can use this kind of software to chat with one or more people at a time. This software may require a separate subscription.

The optimal distance for recording sound with the array microphone is about .5 meters (2 feet) away from the microphone.

Before you can set up a video chat:

1.Download an Internet messenger or video phone call program. Make sure the person you are calling has compatible video-calling software.

2.Enable your webcam as the default video input. This is usually done through the video setup in the Tools menu in the software program you are using.

3.Send your video call by following the instructions for the video-calling software program.

High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)

If your monitor supports HDCP, it can receive high-definition content. High-definition content is available in many sources, such as HD-DVD and Blu-Ray devices or HDTV air or cable broadcasts. If you do not have an HDCP-enabled monitor, you may see a black screen or a lower resolution picture when playing high-definition protected content. Your computer graphic card and monitor must both support HDCP to display protected content.
