Multipoint video conferencing

Do any of you have any experience with multi-point video conferencing solutions?

If so how do you handle bridging the connections?

Who provides the bridging service for you?

Do you own your equipment?

Do you use ISDN or IP?

Not really used massively, typically just for meeting rooms rather than desk to desk video stuff.

Deanje - What sort of bandwidth requirements and technical knowledge is required for that?

Have any of you heard of these?

So your video conferencing equipment uses the same SDSL line as the rest of your traffic?

How much bandwidth does a multi-point call require though? Say you are connecting yourself and two other sites into a 3 way video conferencing call?

So most of you have moved away from ISDN?

Do you own all your own equipment? For example, the equipment required to bridge several video conferencing sites?

If you switch to an IP setup rather than using ISDN lines and you want to video conference with someone who is outside of your organisation and they use ISDN equipment, does this still work?

Point to point video conferencing seems straight forward and doable over IP, but it's the multi-point i'm not so sure about.

How about support all of this? Staff training and so on rather than having it supported by a 3rd party..
