The PrecisionHD USB camera is optimized for use with the Office Communicator (R2) client and is capable of providing up to 720p 30fps as well as a wide range of lower resolutions and frame rates. It is important to note that although the camera s performance up to 720p 30fps, it is the Office Communicator client application in conjunction with the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 (R2) platform that determines the resolution and frame rate of the actual video calls. The PrecisionHD USB camera works with Office Communicator to provide the performance requested. If the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 environment is configured properly, Microsoft s can connect to each other in business quality HD at 720p 25fps. Video Resolutions
