Publication number: 20110234747Abstract: A video conferencing system includes a camera and a display within a room. The camera is directed towards participants in a foreground against a background. The room has lighting defining at least foreground luminance. The display defines maximum display luminance, and the display and flare of the room define minimum display luminance. The camera, the display, and/or the room are adapted to provide one or more of the following. First, that the maximum display luminance is greater than the foreground luminance but less than the foreground luminance times a first constant. Second, that the maximum display luminance is greater than the minimum display luminance by more than a second constant. Third, that illumination color of foreground images displayed on the display substantially match illumination color of the foreground. Fourth, that a color of background images displayed on the display substantially matches a color of the background.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2011Publication date: September 29, 2011Inventor: Mark E. Gorzynski

Patent number: 7984178Abstract: An apparatus has a content node to logically select a first A/V stream from an application layer of a first network and a collaboration node to logically select a second A/V stream from an application layer of a second network. A set of non-network media link interfaces are configured to transmit the second A/V stream from the collaboration node to the content node, and to transmit the first A/V stream from content node to the collaboration node. The non-network media link interfaces provide for limited information encoding to prevent network protocol information from being transferred between the first and second networks.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2010Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ted W Beers, Mark E Gorzynski, William C Wickes, Jon A Brewster, Garrett Daniel Gargan, Jeffrey L Thielman, Scott Grasley
