Axel M80F - Suitable for Web Camera / video conferencing?

[chriscundy]

Hello,

 

Im posting on here as have not had much luck of a reply on other forums.

 

We have quite a few Axel M80F's in use and our IT Management wants us to look into using them for USB web camera use / video conferencing with video and audio.

 

How would the M80F's work in this situation??

 

Would the video only work well in a small window rather than full screen???

 

We connect ours through Citrix ICA clients.

 

Hope to get some advice.

 

Thanks

Have you tried contacting Axel support, they've been good when I've contacted them. If you haven't Matt from Axel is on here so you should get a response soon!

 

TBH though, I wouldn't expect a great result from doing this, I would be tempted to use a PC for vid conf stuff.

Speak to Axel as I would imagine this is a use for thin clients that the majority of schools wouldn't have considered / attempted.

 

I would advise against it though. Even if the Axel can cope you will saturate your server back end fairly quickly depending on what video conferencing software you use.
