Abstract: An audiovisual terminal for use in videoconferencing or in providing online services is provided with a high resolution camera for capturing a video image of the operator. The camera is mounted at a distance from the operator and has a narrow field of view allowing a significantly clearer image of the operator to be obtained than is normally possible with a conventional webcam. The operator is also provided with a headset incorporating a microphone and a loudspeaker. The operator is provided with a primary display unit, displaying control information for operating the terminal and may also display visual or other date received from external sources. A secondary display is operable to display the video image captured by the camera. This allows the operator to monitor the operation of the camera during a videoconference call.
