InfoView Set Top Videophone
These are still being manufactured, Free shipping in the USA |
The InfoView works with a TV and touch-tone phone to provide a
complete videophone solution. This set-top videophone includes a digital camera, powerful
video processing chip and a high-performance analog modem. The InfoView uses standard
telephone lines, so video calls cost no more than regular local or long distance calls. Features include adjustable picture quality, size and frame speed, electronic pan, tilt, zoom, snapshot, caller ID and auto answer. For future enhancements, the InfoView can be upgraded with new features with a simple phone call to customer support. Fully compatible with the 8x8 ViaTV and other H.324 technology products and is most similar to 8x8's VC105. |

Vivid Video Quality $479 Holiday Price |
NOTE: 8x8 Inc./ViaTV.com has discontinued manufacturing the VC50, VC105, VC150, and VC160 models, to the surprise and dismay of videophone distributors like ourselves. They sold like hot cakes. You may find some web sites still listing them for sale, but we have found that they are almost always out of stock. We have heard that the ViaTV factory was hurt by the Taiwan earthquake which destroyed many electronics manufacturing plants. 8x8 is now focusing on the upcoming Internet-based Videophone market. But, we feel the convenient "Plain Old Telephone" based Videophone market will still be active for years. So, we have found alternative and compatible products by other companies, such as InfoView, which has hired former 8x8 employees, to continue to support this exciting and timely technology.
Desktop Videophone

VC150 / VC160, the most complete of 8x8's videophone solutions, looks as at home on an executive's desk as in the kitchen or den. Simply plug the VC150 into any analog telephone outlet, connect it to a touch-tone phone or 8x8 ViaTV Modular Speakerphone, and you're ready to make a video call. Features include adjustable picture quality, size and frame speed, electronic pan, tilt, zoom, snapshot, caller ID and auto answer. | |

International Travel Accessory Pack
(Does not include case) |
The VC10 International Travel Accessory Pack allows you
to take your ViaTV Phone to faraway places and check back to see what's happening at home.
This contains a "key" to convert from the NTSC (USA) to PAL (European) video
standard, plus an International Power Supply to convert from 115 volts (USA) to 220 volts
(European). Unfortunately, as of 9/1/99 the carrying case is no longer manufactured (so the price was reduced from $100 to $50). But most people find they can find a suitable computer or camera case at many stores for less than $50. The NTSC/PAL converter is designed for the VC105. (For the VC150 the screen is built in so a TV adapter is not necessary.) The International Power Supply fits both the VC105/150 perfectly. |

Note: | Any speakerphone allows hands-free operation with ViaTV Videophones that have accessory ports, including 8x8's Desktop and Modular Videophones. |
