The H.324 standard states that video phone products can deliver 4 to 12 frames per second. The actual frame rate for a video phone call will vary depending on the size of the video window selected and the movement of participants during a video phone call. Modem products require support for an industry protocol known as V.80 to interface to H.324 video phone applications. This protocol does not exist in most PC-based modems and will be available in future product releases. Ask a modem dealer for a V.80 modem to be video phone ready.
